[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of May 2023

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Chart post. This particular post is for the 3rd Week of May 2023, which spans the dates of 14 to 20 May 2023. I am going to make this introductory super short as I got some errands to run, but you can expect another album review later tonight. But until then, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 3rd Week of May 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

A few more reviews were published this week. I started off with reviews for some releases from previous weeks that I had missed, including xiker’s TRICKY HOUSE and ONEUS’ ERASE ME. Then I moved onto some of the newer releases of this week – (G)I-DLE’s Queencard and VERVERY’s Crazy Like That.

On the album review front, I posted album reviews for RM’s Indigo and MONSTA X’s REASON.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • For You – YEL
  • Before The Petals Fall – Chen (EXO)
  • ISLAND – The Wind
  • Naughty – DeVita
  • Movie Star – Lee Mijoo
  • WATERFALL – YOUNITE
  • Next To Me – ATBO
  • MEA ROSA – Hoon (U-KISS)
  • That Karma – BLACKSWAN
  • Once in a BLUE MOON – N.Flying
  • Midnight Sky – XODIAC
  • Dear.H – Xdinary Heroes

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song comes from LABOUM, a group whom I miss quite a bit. Firework is the song that resurfaced the group for me this week, so it is my pick for the Throwback Corner.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is ATEEZ’s Limitless. It ranks in the 14th position this week.

The Charts

Congratulations to (G)I-DLE’s Queencard for being the number 1 song for the 3rd Week of May 2023. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of May 2023

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Chart post. This particular post is for the 2nd Week of May 2023, spanning the dates of 7 to 13th of May 2023. Apart from this post, I have the final 2022 album review to post today – RM’s Indigo debut studio album. From tomorrow, I should be back to focusing on 2023 releases – both in terms of songs and albums. Work may be tiring me out, but I will still try to post as many reviews as I can. The album review will be posted later today. So until then, here is my Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of May 2023.

So I didn’t get to much this week for new releases. I did post a review for aespa’s Spicy. Apart from that, older releases were the focus, with reviews for RM’s Still Life and Stray Kids’ FAM being published.

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is IVE’s WAVE, their pre-release single from their upcoming first Japanese mini-album. It ranks in the 14th position this week.

[Album Review] SKZ-Replay (3rd Compilation Album) – Stray Kids (Part. 3)

What do you mean today isn’t Friday? Apologies for the delay in posting the third and final part of the SKZ-Replay album review. I may or may not have slept when I should have been drafting this post. Anyhow, as started earlier this week, I began reviewing the SKZ-Replay compilation album. The album is split into two sides. The first side, known as the A-Side of the album, features the lead single FAM, a single previously unofficially released through a special YouTube video and 8 solo songs from each Stray Kids member. The second part of the album is known as the B-Side. And it consists of 15 songs from the SKZ-RECORD or SKZ-PLAYER web-series from a few years back. These songs have never been released digitally until the release of this album.

For the purposes of this album review, I have now posted the album review in three parts – Part 1 focused on the A-Side. Part 2 will focus on the first half of the B-Side, and Part 3 (this post) will focus on the second half of the B-Side. Also, there was no teaser images for this compilation album. So I have gone through and selected images from past promotions to serve as the featured and teaser images for the album review.

SKZ-Replay Album Cover

8. Alien (외계인) (Han Solo)Alien begins the second half of the B-Side. Han really pushes his vocals in the choruses, as if he wants to be heard. The song speaks about being lonely, like an alien who dropped down onto Earth (taken from Soompi). Wanting to be heard definitely makes sense in the context of the song. This stylistic choice, to me, feels impactful. His rapping isn’t as powerful in this song, as opposed to his other solo tracks on this album. I felt it was a nice choice to tone down the delivery, given the chorus. Otherwise, it easily could have been an overwhelming and full-on track. However, Han still manages to infuse emotions into Alien whilst rapping. I also enjoyed the chilled nature of the instrumental. (8/10)

9. Because (좋으니까) (Changbin & Felix) – Released on White Day in 2021, both Changbin and Felix adopt more of singing delivery to their rapping for Because, presumably for a softer and sweeter approach for the romantic day. However, this created more of a neutral atmosphere, and this ended up boring me. It doesn’t help that the instrumentation was pretty much bland, as well. The pair is more well known for their intensity and rapping, and if Because demonstrated anything, that is when they are at their best. (5/10)

10. Piece of a Puzzle (조각) (Changbin & Seungmin) – Unlike the preceding song, Changbin’s rapping is more appreciated. He isn’t as powerful like how he is usually heard, but his fast delivery in the bridge was a neat return to form. Plus, his other parts were likeable. Seungmin himself sounds charming throughout the song and does a great job of delivering the melodies of Piece of a Puzzle to us. Unfortunately, the combination of hooks and the instrumental just made the song feel overly repetitive, and this ultimately ended up being a lukewarm track. (6.5/10)

11. Wish You Back (Han Solo) – Han definitely dominates the B-side with his fourth (out of five) solo tracks. And I do think we are in a bit of a rut with another neutral track, Wish You Back. We do get some strong rapping from Han and the bass does help make the track a bit livelier. But the rest of the song was just plain (i.e. the autotuned vocals) and doesn’t live up to the other solo tracks he present us on this album. (7/10)

12. HaPpY (Han Solo) – Wishing a person, who is no longer by your side, happiness is the message behind the track HaPpY. Again, this is another dry track for me. The mid-tempo nature of the song was probably the biggest driver of this. The instrumental was pretty repetitive, as well. However, I did like the last moment’s push Han gives just prior to the song ending. (6/10)

13. Up All Night (Bangchan, Changbin, Felix & Seungmin)Up All Night features the most members, four in total. Latin influences feature in the instrumentation and there is a playful energy to the song that makes it a fun listen. Felix kicks off the song with a very seductive approach. Bangchan brings personality to his vocals, while Seungmin’s vocals had a nice easygoing vibe. Changbin was the weakest member in the song in my opinion, with the higher pitch feeling quite unnatural. The bridge with the deeper notes/bass was my favourite bit in the entire song. (7.5/10)

14. Drive (Bangchan & Lee Know)Drive is the other song that I mentioned in Thursday’s half of the B-Side review that is more recognisable than most other tracks on the album. The undeniable yet iconic sexy lyrics that I don’t think we know who of the pair wrote, the rhythmic and atmospheric hip-hop instrumentation, and the mature tone that both Bangchan and Lee Know brings just makes this a cool listen. I also like the smidge of upbeatness that Drive had, which is another appreciable energy booster during this part of the album. (8.5/10)

15. ice.cream (Hyunjin Solo) – The honour of closing the 25-track album goes to Hyunjin’s ice.cream. I liked the R&B nature of the song and Hyunjin’s husky vocals make the song charming. Don’t get me wrong, however, when I use the word “charming”. ice.cream is a very much bittersweet love song. Hyunjin also raps in the verses, and there is a nice showing of his rapping skills. The abrupt ending is not something I enjoyed and I think the song could have eased out to make the closing of both song and album more palatable. (7.5/10)

Overall B-Side Rating – 7.6/10 (this also includes song ratings from the first half of the B-Side of the album)

Overall Album Rating – 7.9/10

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of May 2023

Honestly, how is it already May? The year is moving too fast already! Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Charts post for the 1st Week of May 2023. Per usual, I am going to keep the intro short. I am going to write up the final 2022 album reviews today and have them posted sometime in the new week. This hopefully will mean I will be making a start on the 2023 album reviews soon, possibly even next weekend. More song reviews – both songs that I have yet to review that were released this year and new releases – are also expected. But first, the Weekly KPOP Charts!

Recap & New releases of the Week

So this past week featured reviews for three new releases – LE SSERAFIM’s UNFORGIVEN, BTOB’s Wind And Wish and iKON’s U. I also posted a review for UP10TION’s What If Love and album reviews for a number of 2022 album reviews – Ha Sung Woon’s Strange World, Xdinary Heroes’ Overload and NCT DREAM’s Candy.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Welcome To My World – aespa (ft. nævis)
  • Ride or Die – Bang Yong Guk
  • Star In The Sky – Roa & Ahri (Rocking Doll)
  • Purple Sky – WE US
  • Wonder – ASH ISLAND
  • Last Moments – ASH ISLAND
  • NUGU – Villain
  • Cherry Talk – +(KR)ystal Eyes (tripleS)
  • Heartbreak Club – Colde ft. Lee Chan Hyuk (AKMU)
  • Don’t Ever Say Love Me – Colde ft. RM (BTS)
  • HYBRID – MAX Changmin (TVXQ!), Ha Hyun Woo (Guckkasten)
  • My Love – CLASS:y

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song is HIGHLIGHT’s Not The End. Its message of a new beginning (rather than the end) popped into my head this week and drew me to the song.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is Golden Child’s 3rd Japanese single, Crayon, which was released mid-last month. It ranks in the 18th position this week.

The Charts

Congratulations to NCT DOJAEJUNG for rising to the top spot on KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart this past week with their debut single, Perfume. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of April 2023

I would like to start today’s post again with my deepest condolences and sympathies to Moonbin’s family, ASTRO and AROHA for the loss of Moonbin. I am still quite shocked and speechless on his sudden passing. I always enjoyed his presence as part of ASTRO and his performances were always top notch. Looking back now, his contribution to KPOP has been wide spread, especially with the collaborative performances he has been a part of that always showed off his professionalism and skills. He will definitely be missed. May Moonbin rest in peace.

Regarding the blog, I hit pause on posting reviews during the last few days following the news to take some time to process it. In addition, I personally did not think it was right to be posting during such a sad time. However today, I am restarting the blog once again, beginning with the usual Weekly KPOP charts post.

Welcome back to the post that marks the end of the past week and the beginning of a new week – a Weekly KPOP Charts post. This one is for the 2nd Week of April 2023. I should be back to normal transmission this week, so keep your eyes out for new song and album reviews coming your way. But before I can get to that, some chores. For now, keep on reading for the recap of the past week and the Weekly KPOP Charts.

Recap & New releases of the Week

So this past week has been another short week for me on this blog. Firstly, as I had previously flagged, album reviews continued to be posted for the remainder of the Easter long weekend (through to Tuesday). The albums reviewed includes KARA’s MOVE AGAIN, P1Harmony’s HARMONY: SET IN and MINHO’s CHASE. I then took a break for two days, before returning to post song reviews for IVE’s I AM and KARD’s Without You.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Nothing’s Going My Way – Park Hyunkyu (VROMANCE)
  • Who? – XIUMIN (EXO) & Eunha (VIVIZ)
  • Giddy – Kep1er
  • Keeping The Fire – X:IN
  • Lemonade – DreamNote
  • Camellia – JUST B
  • KNOCK – Lee Chaeyeon
  • Blank Effect – Park Ji Hoon
  • Dear My Light – DAWN
  • Young & Dream – UO
  • Restart – UO
  • Cherry Coke – Yeeun

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song is GFriend’s Sunny Summer. My guess to why this particular song was sought after by me is because the weather is becoming colder where I live and I love the summer season more. So, expect more Summer songs to feature in this segment over the coming months.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is the reimagined version of Eric Nam’s What If, which was released early last month. It ranks in the 13th position this past week.

The Charts

Congratulations to IVE for entering KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart in the top position for the 2nd Week of April with their latest single, I AM. This is the group’s second song to do so, with the first being Kitsch from two weeks ago. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 5th Week of March 2023

Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 5th Week of March 2023. Once again, it is going to be a quick one (though I managed to fill in all of the segments) as I have a few things to do around the house. So let’s get going! Oh, on a side note, I am hoping to write more reviews this week than compared to last week. I am kind of hoping the week before the upcoming long weekend here in Australia is a lot lighter at work than last week (hence, I won’t be as tired).

Recap & New releases of the Week

Apologies for the slow week this past week. I begun the week with reviews for Stray Kids’ Give Me Your TMI and the long overdue album review for MAXIDENT. I then took a three day break (Blame the tiredness that set in right after dinner from a busy week of work). On the last two days of the week, I managed to sneak in a review for IVE’s Kitsch and JISOO’s FLOWER.

The following songs were also released during the week and was entered into the Weekly KPOP Charts system. Some of them will be reviewed.

  • Sour & Sweet – BamBam (GOT7)

  • Burger Ate Pizza – Ryu Sera
  • i – Ryu Sera

  • Shining Bright – CSR
  • GGBB – MAMAMOO+
  • NUMBER BOY – HOLLAND
  • Love or Hate – Ryu Sujeong
  • TRICKY HOUSE – xikers

Finally, a post that is on time! Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of March 2023, which was the week that just passed. I have been super busy the last few weeks as I was working on the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – Winners announcement post, and that may have caused a bit of a backlog on the Weekly KPOP Chart segment of the blog. But with this post, I am not all caught up. I just got three other backlogs to catch up on – i.e., song reviews, album reviews and International Song Review segments. So there is a lot to do. I will hopefully start getting through them soon. But for now, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of March!

I returned this week to the blog to write some reviews after posting the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards post that I had been working on.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of March 2023

Apologies for the delay in posting the Weekly KPOP Charts posts for the 1st Week of March 2023. I was working on the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – Winners announcement post that I ended up posting earlier this week. Now, I am catching up some posts that I have yet to post, which includes 2 Weekly KPOP Chart posts from the previous two weeks and another Weekly KPOP Chart for this week (the ‘on-time’ one). This is the second of the three Weekly KPOP Charts coming out today. So without any more delays, here is the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 1st Week of March 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

No reviews were posted whatsoever during the 1st Week of March 2023. Again, it was because I had dedicated my time to finalise the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards, as previously mentioned.

MOONLIGHT SUNRISE serves as the pre-release track for the group’s 12th mini-album, READY TO BE, which was released on Friday this past week. As it is also an English track and given the fact that it was the number 1 song for the 1st Week of March 2023, MOONLIGHT SUNRISE is also the non-Korean release of the week for the 1st Week of March 2023. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of February 2023

Apologies for the delay in posting the Weekly KPOP Charts posts for the 4th Week of February 2023. I was working on the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – Winners announcement post that I ended up posting earlier this week. Now, I am catching up some posts that I have yet to post, which includes 2 Weekly KPOP Chart posts from the previous two weeks and another Weekly KPOP Chart for this week (the ‘on-time’ one). This is the first of the three Weekly KPOP Charts coming out today. So without any more delays, here is the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 4th Week of February 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

Unfortunately, during the 4th Week of February 2023, I only posted a limited number of reviews – THE BOYZ’s ROAR and Nine’s beyOnd. This was because my time dedicated to the blog was focused on trying to finalise the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards, as previously mentioned.

The following songs were also released during the same week and was entered into the Weekly KPOP Charts system:

  • Thrill – E’LAST
  • Unicorn – Dia
  • Murphy – lilli lilli ft. Lee Mujin
  • TARGET – CLASS:y
  • Sorry’s Never Enough – Corbyn
  • Mirage – TFN
  • Sympathy – Shin Jimin
  • ABYSS – WOODZ
  • Spotlight – Serri (Dal Shabet)
  • Darling – Denise
  • How Are You – HAWW
  • Unbelievable – LUCY
  • One At A Time – Paul Kim
  • Just Me – WOO
  • Cupid – FIFITY FIFTY
  • 7PM – BSS (SEVENTEEN) ft. Peder Elias

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The Non-Korean release of the 4th Week of February 2023 was STRAY KIDS’ pre-release single, There, for their newly released Japanese studio album, THE SOUND. It ranked in the 8th position. The title track of the same studio album, THE SOUND, ranked in the 14th position. Unfortunately, I won’t be reviewing There as there is no corresponding music video. But a review for THE SOUND is coming in the future. So keep, your eyes out for that.

The Charts

Congratulations to THE BOYZ for debuting their newest song, ROAR, in the number 1 spot of KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of February 2023.. For more of the charts, keep on reading for more of the charts.

Throwback Corner

It has been hot this week where I am, so this week’s throwback song is TWICE’s Dance The Night Away. Dance The Night Away is refreshing and a summer hit in Korea, so I thought I bring it out to help cool me down. Don’t think it did any cooling, but it is a fun song to listen to.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is TWICE’s MOONLIGHT SUNRISE. It ranks in the 7th position this past week.

The Charts

Congratulations to Stray Kids for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of December 2022 with FAM (Korean Version). A review for this release is incoming, as previously flagged during the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of January 2023, where Stray Kids’ FAM also topped the Weekly KPOP Charts.

The following songs have wrapped up their nine week run in the charts system, and will no longer be on the charts starting next week:

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of February 2023

Another week has passed. But that means another Weekly KPOP Chart post. Again, the introduction short and sweet, so I can focus on counting that song votes that I mentioned last week. I am almost finished, so the announcement of winners for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards is surely on its way. But until then, here is the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of February 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

This week, it was a light-on week as I continue to count songs for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. But there was a review fo BSS’ Fighting and Mill’s beat. I also posted an album review for NCT 127 and CRAVITY this week. Finally, I also restarted a shorter version of the International Song Review segment, which featured THE BOYZ’s SHE’S THE BOSS, TWICE’s Celebrate and BoA’s The Greatest.

The following songs were also released this week and have been entered into the Weekly KPOP Charts system:

  • The Way We Were – Raina (After School)
  • TARGET – CLASS:y
  • Best Friend Ever – NCT DREAM
  • Aphrodite – ARTBEAT

Throwback Corner

The throwback song of the week is Davichi’s Letter. It was a ballad type of week for me this week (amongst other songs, but ballads dominated my YouTube feed this week). When you think of ballads in KPOP, Davichi naturally comes up. Letter was released back in 2014.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The Non-Korean release of the week is Stray Kids’ The Sound, which ranks in the 2nd position this week. The Sound is Stray Kids’ title track from their upcoming Japanese album, which will be released next month. A more detailed review will be coming your way in the future as part of the International Song Reviews segment.

The Charts

Congratulations to BSS (BooSeokSoon from SEVENTEEN) for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of February 2023 with their long awaited comeback single, Fighting. For more of the charts, keep on reading.
