[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of November 2022

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Charts post for the 4th Week of November 2022.

It has been a big week on the blog with a big continued focus on the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. Firstly, I posted the KPOPREVIEWED Choice for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards (i.e. who I personally thought were the best in each category of nominees of the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards).

And just yesterday, I opened the official voting page for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards, where you (the readers of the blog), and only you, can decide who the official winners of the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. This is by far the most important stage of any KPOPREVIEWED Award period. There is no rush to get your vote in, as deciding which artists, songs and performances of the year are the ‘best of the best’ are very important decisions to make. The survey will remain open until the very end of 6 January 2023, so feel free to ponder for now. BUT make sure you get your vote in before 6 January 2023. I will make sure to remind you constantly on the blog, Twitter and Facebook!

But as for now, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 4th Week of November 2022.

Recap & New Releases of the Week

Another new week, more reviews. However, I didn’t cover the amount of songs I would like (I have a very daunting list of albums and songs I want to review staring at me from the side whilst writing up this post). They will still come, though. Some day in the future. In the meanwhile, I had posted reviews for AB6IX’s Sugarcoat, KANG DANIEL’s Nirvana, TEMPEST’s Dragon and NMIXX’s Funky Glitter Christmas.

Here are the other new releases from the past week (some of which I will return and review some day in the future):

  • Dreamers – Jungkook (BTS)
  • Groove Back – JYP ft. Gaeko (Dynamic Duo)
  • Tomorrow Shinhwa WDJ
  • The Days We Were Us – Solji (EXID)
  • Under The Skin – &TEAM
  • Forgive Me – BoA
  • CELEBRATION – KANTO
  • Funky Glitter Christmas – NMIXX
  • Old School – NTX
  • Freeze Tag – TO1
  • Stay With Me – IRRIS
  • We’re Done – Kim Dohee
  • Taste The Feeling – TEMPEST

Throwback Corner

Another week, another binge. This time, it was for Stray Kids. And it was primarily when I was preparing for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards survey set-up. I was happy to be listening and reliving some of their past promoted tracks, given that they are one of my go to artists as the moment. If I had to pick one, it would have to be their 2019 release with MIROH. An old favourite that I personally feel is quite forgotten.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

Coinciding with his return this week onto the Korean music scene, this week’s Non-Korean Release is KANG DANIEL’s Joy Ride, which ranked in the 7th position. Joy Ride also had the biggest jump of the week (72 spots!).

The Charts

Congratulations to VERIVERY for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of November 2022 with Tap Tap. This is also the first time ever that VERIVERY had topped my Weekly KPOP Charts! For that, another congratulations is in order. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of November 2022

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Charts post for the 3rd Week of November 2022. This time, it is on schedule! Only one thing to update you on. But I just realized (and would to also point out) that 2022 is about to wrap up in a couple of week’s time. How crazy is that!

Anyhow, the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards have been announced. Yesterday, I posted the nominations for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. And from next Saturday, you will be able to vote for who you think should be the winners! But before we can get to that, I have to post my choice of who I think the winners are (i.e. the KPOPREVIEWED Choice) for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards and get through more reviews. Plus, go through the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd Week of November 2022 (this post). So let’s get going before I end up delaying everything!

Recap & New Releases of the Week

As mentioned last week, I would return to the blog and begin to review songs once again about a period of absence. While I have not kept many promises about reviewing, I managed to keep this one. For this week, I covered new releases like CHEN’s Last Scene, VERIVERY’s Tap Tap, YooA’s Selfish. In addition to those three new releases, I posted reviews for HIGHLIGHT’s Alone, WEi’s Spray and WONHO’s Don’t Regret.

Here are the other new releases from the past (some of which I will return and review some day in the future):

Throwback Corner

I was on a binge over the last fewa days whilst trying to finalise and prepare the nomination pictures for the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards. Artists like 4MINUTE, GOT7, SISTAR, SECRET etc. (amongst 2022 KPOP songs) were on the playlist. If I had to pick on track, I will go with 4MINUTE’s Whatcha Doin Today?, which was released back in 2014.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s Non-Korean Release is ENHYPEN’s Make The Change, ranking in the 40th position. The Japanese single previously featured in this segment during the 3rd Week of October 2022. .

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st & 2nd Weeks of November 2022

Apologies for my absence over the last two weeks. I will be posting two Weekly KPOP Charts posts (one for the 4th Week of October and another for the combined 1st and 2nd Weeks of November 2022). I will be back to posting reviews starting from tomorrow.

Welcome back to the present with the Weekly KPOP Charts posts for the 1st and 2nd Weeks of November 2022 – a period spanning from the 30th of October to the 12th of November 2022. Due to my absence over the last two weeks for personal reasons, I have combined the 1st and 2nd Weeks of November together to form one week to limit the impact on the Weekly KPOP Charts segment (and hence the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards – again an announcement will be made in coming days about this). This is the first time this has happened in KPOPREVIEWED history! We will back to usual one-week Weekly KPOP Charts next week and reviews from Monday (i.e. tomorrow). Until then, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 1st and 2nd Weeks of November 2022.

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback corner belongs to LOONA’s Why Not?, one of the two singles released by LOONA in 2020. I had a inkling for a fun LOONA song this week and Why Not? was the first one to pop into my mind. Many listens later and here is where Why Not? lies this weeks.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s Non-Korean Release is OnlyOneOf’s Zurui Onna, ranking in the 19th position for these two weeks. A review for Zurui Onna is coming soon, so keep monitoring the blog for that review in an upcoming International Song Reviews post.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of October 2022

Apologies for my absence over the last two weeks. I will be posting two Weekly KPOP Charts posts (one for the 4th Week of October and another for the combined 1st and 2nd Weeks of November 2022). I will be back to posting reviews starting from tomorrow.

As per the title at the top of the page, this post is the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of October 2022 – the week spanning 23rd to 29th October 2022. I cannot remember why I did not post this particular Weekly KPOP Chart at the time. I suspect it was most likely because time slipped away from me, which is always the case – I have been working on the 2022 KPOPREVIEWED Awards at the time before I had to take some time away from the blog. An announcement for this will come at a later date. In the meantime, here is the first of two Weekly KPOP Charts post for today.

Recap & New Releases of the Week

I also posted the review for (G)I-DLE’s Nxde and the album review for aespa’s Girls.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of October 2022

Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 1st Week of October 2022, returning to the usual Sunday transmission. Per usual, today’s Weekly KPOP Chart post is going to be a quick one. So keep on reading the recap of the last week and I hope to see you soon with another review!

Recap & New releases of the Week

Since the last Weekly KPOP Chart post on a Sunday two weeks ago, a fair bit has happened. Album Review Week occurred whilst I was on break for work, and I made an attempt to catch up on reviews this past week for the releases unveiled the week I was away (i.e. XIUMIN, CRAVITY, MIRAE and EXID). I also covered Stray Kids’ CASE 143 and SEULGI’s solo debut with 28 Reasons. In addition to that, I posted album reviews for KARD and TWICE this week + plus a few other album reviews as part of that Album Review Week. Refer to the front page for those reviews. .

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Daystar – seowool
  • Sugarcoat – AB6IX
  • Still Here – ONEWE
  • HELLO – TREASURE
  • Joy Ride – Kang Daniel
  • DOKI DOKI LOVE – Rocket Punch
  • 3D – Woman Jamie
  • Long Live The King – KINGDOM
  • NAZABABARA – Rolling Quartz
  • LIKE – Serri (DalShabet)
  • Uh-Heung – DKZ
  • Cape – Suzy
  • HEAL – THE ROSE

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song is OH MY GIRL’s The Fifth Season. I basically deep dived into the song when it appeared on my recommendations.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

As for this week’s non-Korean release of the week, we have LOONA’s LUMINOUS. It ranked in the 15th position this past week. As per the many songs released in Japan, the Western music industry or China I have yet to review, it will be featured in an International Song Review post in the future.

The Charts

Congratulations to CRAVITY for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 1st Week of October 2022 with PARTY ROCK. For the second week in a row, a brand new artist has topped my Weekly KPOP Chart for the first time. Congratulations again to CRAVITY. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 5th Week of September 2022

Welcome to the belated Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 5th Week of September 2022 (that was the week of 25 September – 1 October 2022). Apologies for the delay for this post. I was busy travelling and was unable to post the Weekly KPOP Chart posts for both the 4th and 5th Weeks of September.

This will be a streamlined Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 5th Week of September 2022 (as you can tell by the title of the post). Tomorrow, I will be returning to the usual schedule of Sundays for the Weekly KPOP Charts posts, beginning with the 1st Week of October 2022.

The Charts

Congratulations to TEMPEST for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 5th Week of September 2022 with Can’t Stop Shining. This is the first time that TEMPEST has ever reached the top of my Weekly KPOP Charts, so congratulations to them for this feat! For more of the charts, keep on reading.

Welcome to the belated Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 4th Week of September 2022 (that was the week of 18 – 24 September 2022). Apologies for the delay for this post. I was busy travelling and was unable to post the Weekly KPOP Chart posts for both the 4th and 5th Weeks of September.

This will be a streamlined Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 4th Week of September 2022 (as you can tell by the title of the post). Another streamlined post will follow in the next few days for the 5th Week of September 2022, before returning to the usual transmission of Sundays for the Weekly KPOP Charts posts.

The Charts

Congratulations to THE BOYZ for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of September 2022 with WHISPER. WHISPER previously topped the Weekly KPOP Charts a month ago during the 4th Week of August 2022. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of September 2022

[Update: 8/07/2023] Apologies if this post looks different than usual. I realized that I actually had written another weekly KPOP chart post over the top of the one for the 3rd Week of September 2022. I don’t remember my specific comments I wrote in the original post, but I have restored the videos/songs featured in the different segment and took a picture of the charts that I have on record.

Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 3rd Week of September 2022, returning to the usual Sunday transmission. Per usual, today’s Weekly KPOP Chart post is going to be a quick one. So keep on reading the recap of the last week and I hope to see you soon with another review!

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song was ASTRO’s ONE.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

As for this week’s non-Korean release of the week, we have TXT and iann dior’s collaborative single, Valley of Lies. It ranked in the 11th position this past week.

The Charts

Congratulations to IVE for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of September 2022 with AFTER Like. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of September 2022

Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 2nd Week of September 2022. I am posting this a bit later usual on a Sunday as I had some adulting things to do. And there are more things to do (why does no one tell you about the amount of boring adulting stuff you have to do when you are an adult :|). So there won’t be anymore reviews today. But there will be some song and album coming out tomorrow and onwards.

Recap & New releases of the Week

The number of reviews this week reduced unfortunately as I spent a lot of time resting as going to the office for work is very tiring business. But I did cover some new releases, including ONEUS’ Same Scent and KIM JAE HWAN’s BACK THEN. I also posted a review for APINK CHOBOM’s Copycat and album reviews for SEVENTEEN, TXT, iKON, ATEEZ and ASTRO.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Sparkling Night – PENTAGON
  • Like Psycho – We;Na
  • All Day Bernard Park
  • SURRENDER Lee Changsub (BTOB)
  • LET IT SHINE – CNBLUE
  • Dance Whole Day – ONEW (SHINee)
  • Blue – Jackson Wang (GOT7)

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song is SF9’s Now or Never, which I think has previously been featured on this segment already. But it is one of their best songs and I don’t think I need to explain any further. It emerged as part of a SF9 binge that I had this week.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is CRAVITY’s first ever English language single, Boogie Woogie. It ranked in the 9th position this week. At this stage, Boogie Woogie will not be getting a full review under the International Song Reviews segment due to the lack of an official music video. It is yet to be seen whether CRAVITY’s upcoming release will be getting an album review. But if it does, Boogie Woogie would most likely be reviewed there.

The Charts

Congratulations to ONEUS for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of September 2022 with their latest release – Same Scent. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of September 2022

Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 1st Week of September 2022. Not much to update you with this week again – just the usual grind of reviews of all kinds coming your way. Hoping to push out some album reviews tonight and some more song reviews during the week. For now, enjoy this Weekly KPOP chart post!

Recap & New releases of the Week

This past week, I reviewed the following releases – Rocket Punch’s FLASH, TEMPEST’s Can’t Stop Shining, KEY’s Gasoline, and Lee Jin Hyuk’s Crack; a song review for SVT LEADER’s CHEERS; and album reviews for GHOST9, ONEW, ONEUS, WOODZ and MONSTA X‘s comebacks earlier this year.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Once Again – Bang Minah (Girl’s Day)
  • Tomorrow – Kim Chaewon
  • Password 486 – BIGONE
  • Better – MAMAMOO+ ft. BIG Naughty
  • Darling on the Beach – Even of Day
  • Call Call – Yiren (EVERGLOW)
  • RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world) – Billlie

Throwback Corner

During the final days of August, I have been repeating Red Velvet’s Red Flavor, which is my pick for this week’s throwback song. I am surprised it took me all of Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) to actually pick up the song. But I managed to sneak it in this year at the very end of the season. It goes to show that Red Flavor is a must have on a summer time playlist.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is Jackson Wang’s Cruel. It ranked in the 27th position this week. Per most of the international collaborations and singles by Korean artists, I have yet to review this one. But I will get around to it eventually!

The Charts

Congratulations to TWICE for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 1st Week of September 2022 with another chart topping hit, Talk that Talk. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of August 2022

Welcome back to the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 4th Week of August 2022 (i.e. the week that just passed). Not much to update you with this week- just the usual grind of reviews of all kinds coming your way. I got some personal errands to run, but I will be (hopefully) pushing out album reviews later tonight and some more song reviews during the week. For now, enjoy this Weekly KPOP chart post!

Recap & New releases of the Week

I think I can say that this week was a busy one, despite me being sick throughout the week. 8 different posts came out this week. These include reviews for new releases – CIX’s 458, IVE’s After LIKE, LEO’s Losing Game, Ha Sung Woon’s FOCUS and TWICE’s Talk that Talk; a song review for Super Junior’s Mango; and album reviews for GOT7 and Dream Catcher‘s comebacks earlier this year.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Stay – Issac Hong
  • 100% – Yoon Seobin
  • Became a star – BOYHOOD
  • Rocking Chair – JAY B (GOT7)
  • Falling Free – Minho (SHINee)
  • Romeo and Juliet – Minho (SHINee)
  • Ring – TXT
  • FUEGO (Burn It Up) – BLANK2Y
  • CHANCE – AB6IX
  • Cheese burger – Kisu
  • 24/7 – DKB
  • be mine – Junji (OnlyOneOf)
  • Nap Fairy – Yeri (Red Velvet) & Sam Kim
  • running away – Mark Tuan (GOT7)

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song might be the result of a recent comeback. CIX’s Wave (from last year) is this week’s throwback song, as I was craving the song whilst reviewing 458 earlier this week. A few listens whilst reviewing their comeback and I found myself gravitating towards the song a lot this week! “Like Thunder Thunder Thunder“.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

Even though it was in its final week for being eligible for the Weekly KPOP Charts, Rocket Punch’s fiore, slide back up the charts to be this week’s non-Korean release of the week. The JPOP song ranked in the 23rd position this week. Per most of the international collaborations and singles by Korean artists, I have yet to review this one. But I will get around to it eventually!

The Charts

Congratulations to THE BOYZ for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of August 2022 with their new single, WHISPER. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of August 2022

This is on time and posted on the right week! Woo! Pat on my back indeed. Welcome to the Weekly KPOP Charts segment for the 3rd Week of August 2022 (i.e., the week that just passed). I am not going to keep the intro long this week. I have a review and an album review (or two) coming your way tonight, so I am going to start work on those right after I post this. And of course, more reviews coming your way when it all starts off tomorrow. In the meanwhile, here is the recap and Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd Week of August 2022.

Recap & New releases of the Week

Out of the new releases this week, I wrote reviews for THE BOYZ’s WHISPER, ONF’s Your Song and BLACKPINK’s Pink Venom. I also posted reviews for KARD’s Ring The Alarm and JO YURI’s Love Shhh!. On the album review front, there were album reviews for NCT DREAM, LE SSERAFIM, BAE173, Kwon Eun Bi and CRAVITY.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • BYE – RAVI (VIXX) ft. Wheein (MAMAMOO)
  • Undercover – CRAXY
  • REQUIEM – CRAXY
  • When I Look At You – Park Boram
  • TPIR – Kang Daniel ft. MIYAVI
  • UTSUROI – TVXQ
  • DaSH – BAE173
  • Play – LUCY
  • Engine – LUMINOUS
  • IRREPLACEABLE – F.HERO & Youngjae (GOT7) ft. THE TOYS
  • Bye Bye Bye – SKYLE
  • Forever Only – Jaehyun (NCT)
  • Castle Key (Roll) – Fatou (BLACKSWAN)
  • Don’t Hesitate – WONHO

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song was released 10 years ago! SPICA’s Lonely was this week’s throwback song. I have been replaying SPICA’s songs a lot lately, and so it is about time I feature them on this segment again!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release is XG’s MASCARA, which was released at the end of June this year. The English based song ranked in the 24th position this week. For those who don’t know XG is a Japanese pop group currently based in South Korea, which debuted last year with TIPPY TOES. MASCARA was promoted in South Korea on the usual music shows, and so I consider it eligible for the Weekly KPOP Charts. Per most of the international collaborations and singles by Korean artists, I have yet to review this one. But I will get around to it eventually!

The Charts

Congratulations to SNSD for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of August 2022 with FOREVER 1. This is the second week in the row in which both SNSD and FOREVER 1 have topped my Weekly KPOP Charts. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of August 2022

Almost a week delay this time around. Key word being “almost”! It is time for the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of August 2022, the week spanning between 7 August to 13 August 2022. This particular post was delayed due the delay with the previous week’s Weekly KPOP Chart post. Good news, however, as this week’s Weekly KPOP Chart will be on track to be published on schedule (i.e. Sunday), alongside some album reviews! So keep your eyes open for that and those upcoming album reviews. In the meanwhile, enjoy the Weekly KPOP Charts post for the 2nd Week of August 2022.

Recap & New releases of the Week

During the second week of August 2022, I posted reviews for one new release, Golden Child’s Replay. I also posted reviews for some releases from the previous week, namely SNSD’s long awaited comeback with FOREVER 1 and Stray Kids’ Time Out. PURPLE KISS and OH MY GIRL also got album review’s for their March releases earlier this year.

Other releases from this particular week includes:

  • Strangers – BM (KARD)
  • POSE – Kino (PENTAGON)
  • KISS – TRI.BE
  • Umbrella – AB6IX
  • DOOR – FTISLAND
  • I don’t like u (anymore) – Hanbyeol (CAP-TEEN)
  • Maldives – WEi
  • Maybe – Jo Yuri
  • Boogie Woogie -CRAVITY
  • Not About You – JUNNY
  • Timeless – THE BOYZ

Non-Korean Release of the Week

TWICE’s Celebrate remains the non-Korean release of the week, ranking in the 5th position this week (up two spots from last week). Per most of the international collaborations and singles by Korean artists, I have yet to review this one. But I will get around to it eventually!

The Charts

Congratulations to SNSD for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of August 2022 with FOREVER 1. The KPOP Queen’s still got it! For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of August 2022

Apologies for the week delay with what was supposed to be last week’s Weekly KPOP Chart. For those who have missed it, I have been moving out to my own place, and things got a bit hectic as you might suspect. The Weekly KPOP Chart post that is supposed to be published today might come out in a couple of days as I settle in and continue to balance this blog, unpacking, work and a whole bunch of other boring stuff. I won’t keep you for long anymore. Here are the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 1st Week of August 2022.

During the first week of August 2022, I posted reviews for the new releases, NewJean’s Cookie and YENA’s SMARTPHONE. I also posted reviews for Stray Kids’ FREEZE and Lonely St., and album reviews for (G)I-DLE and MIYEON.

Other releases from this particular week includes:

  • Time Out – Stray Kids
