[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of June 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Another week has passed. But the difference this time around is that Queendom 2 done and dusted! While I did mention that I was supposed to get onto some song and album reviews straight away many times now, once I wrapped up my final Queendom 2 post, I have decided to delay that slightly until tomorrow and take a bit of a break after a slightly busy weekend. So, I will be back tomorrow with reviews being my ultimate focus for the next few weeks. In the meanwhile. here is the Weekly KPOP Charts post for the second week of June 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition to the reviews I wrote last week for SECRET NUMBER’s DOOMCHITA and BTS’ Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment), here are the other new releases of the week:

  • Snail – Kim Jae Hwan
  • 11:59 – APR PROJECT
  • Today’s Weather – Son Dongwoon (HIGHLIGHT)
  • Boombabboom – EPISODE
  • Let’s End It Here – Park Hyunkyu (VROMANCE)
  • WHO – TRENDZ
  • Danger – woo!ah!
  • Circus – Stray Kids

Throwback Corner

Another song that I am sure has made it onto this corner before is SEVENTEEN’s Rock With You. But it is my throwback song for the week. I have been completing digging this song this week, on top of this week’s charts listens.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

Golden Child’s RATA-TAT-TAT is the past week’s non-Korean song release of the week, ranking in the 34th position. Check out Golden Child’s RATA-TAT-TAT below (a review will be coming soon for the song).

Congratulations to Brave Girls for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of June 2022 with their Queendom 2 finale single, Whistle. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of June 2022

Posted in Weekly Charts1 Comment

Apologies for the delay in posting the Weekly KPOP Charts for last week. While I did focus on Queendom 2 for a bit of the weekend, there was not enough time for me to smash out the post for the finale of Queendom 2 and post the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 1st Week of June 2022. These instead will be postponed, with the Weekly KPOP Chart to be posted today and the final Queendom 2 post will be posted later this week (possibly on the weekend). And I hope to restart writing some reviews from tomorrow, as well.

Wherever you are, hope you all have a good morning, afternoon, evening or night! It is night time here, so I am off to bed! And with that, here is my Weekly KPOP Chart for the 1st Week of June 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition to the reviews I wrote last week for NCT DREAM’s Beatbox and VICTON’s Stupid O’Clock, here are the other new releases of the week:

  • YOUNG BOY – HELLO GLOOM
  • Starry Road – Kei
  • The Greatest – BoA
  • Mermaid – Xindy (ZEROSIX)
  • VIVID – CRAVITY
  • Your Eyes – Stray Kids
  • Illusion – aespa
  • lost – DVWN
  • Love Shhh! – Jo Yuri
  • Telescope – Bitsaeon (M.O.N.T)
  • Happy Birthday – Colde
  • Pirate Boy – BOYHOOD

And while they were technically released during the week before last week, I have decided to factor in the Queendom 2 singles as new releases for last week instead (simply because I had no time to listen to them when they were first released):

  • Waka Boom – Hyolyn ft. Lee Young Ji
  • AURA – WJSN
  • THE GIRLS (Can’t Yurn Me Down) – Kep1er
  • Red Sun! – VIVIZ
  • POSE – LOONA
  • Whistle – Brave Girls

I will be posting my final post on Queendom 2 (which will contain song reviews for the above singles) later this week.

Throwback Corner

Like last week, I took a time machine and went back a number of years to listen to a different songs from the past! KARA appeared and I just binged their songs last week. My song choice for the Throwback Corner is KARA’s last single, CUPID, which was released back in 2014.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

Woosung’s Phase Me is the past week’s non-Korean song release of the week, ranking in the 18th position. Check out Woosung’s Phase Me below (a review will be coming soon for the song).

The Charts

Congratulations to NCT DREAM for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 1st Week of June 2022 with their addictive comeback single, Beatbox. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of May 2022

Posted in Weekly Charts2 Comments

Apologies for the delay in posting the Weekly KPOP Charts for last week. I focused on the Queendom 2 recaps last weekend, which ended bumping this post to the side. It is looking like the same thing will happen this weekend, as I still have the second half of Round 3 to cover and the finale (which is currently airing as I write this). I will endeavor to get the next Weekly KPOP Chart post this week out as soon as possible after I finish up with the Queendom 2 posts (yes, the goal for this week is to finish off Queendom 2, so I can get back on catching up with song and album reviews).

New releases of the Week

In addition to the reviews I wrote last week for GOT7’s NANANA, SEVENTEEN’s HOT and Kang Daniel’s Upside Down, here are the other new releases of the week:

  • Do you wanna get down – LUNARSOLAR
  • Thumbs Up – BLANK2Y
  • ALIVE – LIGHTSUM
  • Pisces – Yerin Baek
  • VENOM – BVNDIT
  • CLASSY – CLASS:y
  • Gotta Get Back – P1Harmony ft. Pink Sweat$

Throwback Corner

While my memory does fail me from time to time, I was smart enough to make note of last week’s throwback song. Otherwise, we would be looking at a second week without a throwback song. Hyolyn’s appearance on Queendom 2 got me going through Sistar’s discography, and Give It To Me emerged as one of the songs that got a lot of replays.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

As SEVENTEEN made their comeback this week with HOT, Darl+ing also received the most listens this week on the ‘Non-Korean song’ front. This is thanks to the repeated listens of the album I gave over the two days it was out (simply because I forgot I had already checked out the album, and proceeded to check it out whilst working and writing the Queendom recaps). For those who don’t know, the English-language song is featured on their latest album, Face The Sun. This is in addition to the usual listens I give songs on the charts. Darl+ing placed in the 11th position last week.

The Charts

Congratulations to GOT7 for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of May 2022 with their long awaited comeback single, NANANA. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of May 2022

Posted in Weekly Charts2 Comments

Another week, another Weekly KPOP Chart post for the past week. I am going to breeze past this introduction again this week, as I want to work on a song review for AB6IX and the next Queendom 2 post (which I expect to post tomorrow). So without any further delays, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd Week of May 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition to the reviews I wrote for ASTRO’s Candy Sugar Pop and ONEUS’ Bring It On, here are the other new releases of the week:

  • Fanfare – Davichi
  • DEEP – HYO (SNSD)
  • MOVE – TNX
  • Savior – AB6IX
  • ARIA – Yerin
  • Roommate – ONEWE
  • canvas – BF
  • Until The End – Han Dong Geun
  • Wish You Were Here – LUMINOUS
  • Rocky – ATEEZ

Throwback Corner

Unfortunately, there is no Throwback song for this week. I did listen to a couple of tracks this week, but nothing really perked my interest. So, I will be dipping into last week’s history and pulling out a GOT7 track (remember I was doing a GOT7 binge in preparation for their comeback). The track in question is GOT7’s 2018 single, Lullaby.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is the Japanese version of the ATEEZ’s Rocky, which placed in the 7th position for this past week. I have previously reviewed the Korean version of Rocky, which is featured on ATEEZ’s 7th mini-album, Zero: Fever Part 3, which you can have a read of here.

The Charts

Congratulations to ASTRO for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of May 2022 with their latest comeback single, Candy Sugar Pop. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of May 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Another week, another Weekly KPOP Chart post for the past week. I am going to breeze past this introduction again this week, as I want to work on an album review and the next Queendom 2 post (finally). So without any further delays, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of May 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition to the reviews I wrote for TXT’s Good Boy Gone Bad and Jeong Sewoon’s Roller Coaster, here are the other new releases of the week:

  • RATA-TAT-TAT – Golden Child
  • Fame – Ciipher
  • Sanctuary – Song Heejin
  • Why – Hwang Chi Yeol
  • ACACIA – Yezi
  • And The End – Jung Seung Hwan
  • SHE’S THE BOSS – The Boyz
  • Phase Me – Woosung (The Rose)
  • DARARI (Remix) – TREASURE
  • Montage_ – ONEWE
  • BTBT – B.I ft. DeVita

Throwback Corner

So I went on a GOT7 binge this week in preparation for their long awaited comeback (super excited!!!). I had predicted that one of the full group song’s would feature in this corner, but it turns out I ended up vibing with Youngjae’s Vibin, and so it is my pick for Throwback Song this week.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Mark Tuan’s save me, which placed in the 26th position for this past week. I will be reviewing save me in a future International Song Review post (they will come!).

The Charts

Congratulations to LE SSERAFIM for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 2nd Week of May 2022 with their debut single, FEARLESS. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 4th Week of April 2022

Posted in Weekly Charts4 Comments

Hello again! We have reached the end of April already! Time is definitely flying by this year. While this is usually daunting, it was made enjoyable with all the releases that came out this week. Usually, I am able to sneak a listen in for all new releases, but there was so much to keep up with (plus, I have pre-occupied with some personal stuff earlier in the week). I will definitely be listening to the releases that I haven’t had a chance to yet as part of the upcoming week. But (as usual), we must get through the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the week that just past before heading into the new week!

New releases of the Week

In addition to the reviews I wrote for MONSTA X’s LOVE, VERIVERY’s Undercover, Moonbyul’s C.I.T.T and Yoon Ji Sung’s BLOOM, here are the other new releases of the week:

  • DECRESCENDO – Changjo (TEEN TOP)
  • highway love – POLAR (Choi Junhyuk) ft. NASON
  • Walking Through The Moon – Lee Sujeong
  • Play Hide & Seek – ICHILLIN’
  • Futt – Busters
  • CREATURE – E’LAST

  • Milky Way – COSMO
  • Ready to Ride – Kang Daniel
  • Type & Delete – Kim Kyu Jong (SS501) & Lee In Jun (DGNA/The Boss) ft. Dalzi
  • That That – Psy ft. SUGA (BTS)

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song belongs to IVE, the current power rookie that is dominating the charts in Korea with their latest single, LOVE DIVE. As LOVE DIVE is currently on the charts, it is ineligible for the Throwback Corner. But their debut single ELEVEN, which I have been listening to side by side to LOVE DIVE, is.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is, ITZY’s Voltage, which placed in the 26th position for this past week. Voltage is ITZY’s first original Japanese single, which officially dropped in early April. I will definitely cover it in a future International Song Review post.

The Charts

Congratulations to MONSTA X for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of April 2022 with their latest single, LOVE. For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of April 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Apologies for the slow week that had just past. I was very tired after work this week, and so spent the time I should have been blogging, resting. As a result, I only reviewed two songs this week, those of which were from previous weeks. I am hoping that I will be back on board to review some new/old releases, and work on those special posts (Queendom Season 2, mainly) that I have been promising for weeks. In the meanwhile, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of April 2022.

New releases of the Week

I wrote no new reviews for this week. But this doesn’t mean that the past week had no new releases. See the list below of new releases from the past week that have been entered into this Weekly KPOP Chart segment:

  • D-Day – Wheein (Mamamoo)
  • Hit Me Up – Min ft. JMIN
  • I Want You To Be Happy – APINK
  • FINE! – HA:TFELT

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song is 2NE1’s I Am The Best, all thanks to their surprise and unexpected reunion on stage at this year’s Coachella.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is, again, Red Velvet’s WILDSIDE, which placed in 5th position for this past week.

The Charts

Congratulations to DKZ for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of April 2022 with their latest single, Cupid. This is the first time DKZ (or Dongkiz) has topped the Weekly KPOP Charts segment on my blog! For more of the charts, keep on reading.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of April 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Another week, another Weekly KPOP Chart post. This time, it is for the 1st Week of April 2022. Unfortunately, I was unable to deliver the Queendom 2 posts that I had intended to write up over last week and this weekend. They will becoming next weekend, as I will be writing them in the week (I have some time off from work due to the Easter long weekend). In the meanwhile, I will be writing album reviews for posting later today. Also got to write album reviews for next weekend, as well. Lot’s to do, so I better get cracking. Here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 1st Week of April 2022.

In addition to the four reviews I did write this week (SUHO’s Grey Suit, Kwon Eun Bi’s Glitch, BIGBANG’s long awaited comeback Still Life and IVE’s LOVE DIVE), here are the other new releases from this past week:

Throwback Corner

This week’s Throwback Song is actually a recent release from earlier this year. fromis_9’s DM has re-emerged onto my YouTube feed via the live performance the group gave on the it’s live live show, and it is hard to turn down such a good song/performance. That high note, as well! Top notch!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Red Velvet’s WILDSIDE, which placed in eighth position for this past week. WILDSIDE is Red Velvet’s latest Japanese title track off the group’s first Japanese studio album, Bloom, which officially dropped earlier this week.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 5th Week of March 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

We have just passed the end of March / early April mark of the calendar. How crazy fast is the year going? Welcome to another edition of the Weekly KPOP Charts, this time it is for the fifth week of March 2022 which spans that ‘end of March / early April’ period I just mentioned. It was a super big week for me, as I had to return to the office. That threw my week off, as it caused a bit of disruption on the review front (i.e. fatigue and a day of illness). I am hoping to get back into the groove a bit better this coming week, which will allow me to re-focus on the reviews. More song reviews, album reviews and I am hoping to make a start on a Queendom 2 recap & thoughts series. I am hoping to get Round 0 posted early this week, and Round 1 early next week. But we will see, pending how I settle into this week. Until then, here are the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 5th Week of March 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition to NCT DREAM’s Glitch Mode, Oh My Girl’s Real Love, BAE173’s JAWS and PURPLE KISS’ memeM, here are the other new releases from this past week:

  • FREEZE – Stray Kids
  • Lonely St. – Stray Kids
  • Salute – MAJORS
  • With – Han Dong Geun
  • Detox – Feeldog
  • Make Your Dream – Haebin
  • Mother – Heize
  • Parallel Universe – NINE.i
  • Riding – UV & Choi Siwon (Super Junior)
  • Event Horizon – Younha
  • Blow – Jackson Wang (GOT7)
  • The Answer – DAYBREAK & LUCY
  • Ascension – Kingdom
  • Take You Down – Yugyeom (GOT7) ft. Coogie
  • WILDSIDE – Red Velvet

Throwback Corner

I managed to listen to more songs than what is on the Weekly KPOP Charts this week. And so, there is a bit of a selection of songs that I can choose this week’s Throwback Song from. My pick is Lovelyz’s Wag-Zak, which was released back in 2018. I still find it a massive disappointment that Lovelyz disbanded, though it is great that we are slowly seeing the members re-appear.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Mark Tuan’s Lonely, which placed in fourth position for this past week. This release will be covered in a future International Song Review segment (once I figure out a way to deal with the backlog).

The Charts

Congratulations to Oh My Girl for topping the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 5th Week of March 2022 with their latest single, Real Love. For more of the charts, keep on reading!

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Another week has passed. Another Weekly KPOP Chart post, this time for the 4th Week of March 2022. Today’s introduction is going to be a quick one, as I flagged yesterday I had two album reviews to right. And I haven’t really started on those yet, so I better get a move on.

I didn’t listen to any songs this week, aside those on the Weekly KPOP Charts. But the segment lives on. So the song to feature in this corner this week is (G)I-DLE’s LATATA, which I noted to be a consistent song to pop up alongside DUMDi DUMDi last week, thanks to (G)I-DLE’s latest comeback.

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is, once again, Pity Party by JAMIE. It was previously was featured in this corner of the Weekly KPOP Chart post for the 1st Week of March 2022.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of March 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

What a week it has a been for the 3rd Week of March this year. It was loaded with comeback after comeback. Hopefully, we all walked away with a few good songs to add to our playlists! Unfortunately, I had a big going on for work this week as well, so I was unable to cover all the major releases of the week. Hence, I have cleared album reviews from this weekend, so the focus today will be on song reviews (as was yesterday). Good news is that all that work related stuff is out of the way (I think – it was all a blur), so I should be able to push through the busy week ahead and week after as well. But before we can get ahead, it is time for the Weekly KPOP Charts post for the past week.

New releases of the Week

As flagged already, a few song reviews for some tracks released during this past week are still coming your way, joining (G)I-DLE’s TOMBOY, Brave Girls’ Thank You, Kang Seung Yoon’s BORN TO LOVE YOU, Kihyun’s VOYAGER, Moonbin & Sanha’s WHO and NU’EST’s Again. Here are the other songs that were released this past week:

  • Ghost – COiBLEN ft. Re:Dickens
  • Epitaph – for the future – TVXQ
  • HONEY – Solar (Mamamoo)
  • Too Bad – WEi
  • HANA – XIA
  • Hai Cheng – THE 8 (SEVENTEEN)
  • MANIAC – Stray Kids
  • Windy Day – BIGONE ft. JAY B (GOT7)

Throwback Corner

This week’s song to be featured in the Throwback Corner is (G)I-DLE’s DUMDi DUMDi, one of the group’s releases from 2020. This was consistent recommendation alongside LATATA this week, thanks to (G)I-DLE’s comeback! Definitely nice to revisit a fun song!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is Ailee’s Murder on the Dance Floor, which ranked in the 10th position this past week. Murder on The Dance Floor is the title track off Ailee’s first full-English album, I’m Lovin’ Amy, which dropped on 7 March 2022.

The Charts

Congratulations to (G)I-DLE for topping my Weekly KPOP Chart with their latest single, TOMBOY. For more of the charts from the last week, keep on reading!

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of March 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Another week has just passed, and it is time for another Weekly KPOP Chart post. I am hoping to get another album review out soon and a few extra reviews drafted ahead of 6 PM KST on Monday (the time in which a wave of releases comes our way). I also have some personal work to get through, so this introduction will be a short one. Without further ado, the weekly KPOP charts for the 2nd Week of March 2022.

New releases of the Week

In addition of the two reviews I wrote this week (Weeekly’s Ven para and Kim Woo Seok’s Switch), the following releases also dropped this week:

  • The Little Name – ADORA
  • Murder on the Dance Floor – Ailee
  • Oh Sorry Ya – Sunmi
  • Run Up – T1419
  • ESPER – Kwon Eun Bi

Throwback Corner

This week’s song to be featured in the Throwback Corner is GOT7’s Poison, a side track off the group’s 11th mini-album, DYE. I have previously reviewed Poison through DYE’s album review, so you check my thoughts on the song there. In the meanwhile, check out the song below.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is T1419’s Daydreamer, which ranked in the 18th position this past week. Daydreamer previously featured in this corner of the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd Week of February 2022. Also check out T1419’s latest release, Our Teen:Blue Side, the group’s first mini-album and Japanese debut mini-album, which was released this week.

Congratulations to fromis_9 for topping my Weekly KPOP Chart with their latest single, DM. DM previously topped my Weekly KPOP Charts for the 1st Week of February 2022. For more of the charts from the last week, keep on reading!

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 1st Week of March 2022

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Before I get to the next album review, it is time for another Weekly KPOP Chart post. This one is for the week that just past – the 1st Week of March 2022. There were some big releases during the week. But apart from those, it was a fairly quiet start to the busy month ahead. It appears that next week will also be a quiet week, before KPOP ramps everything up for the latter half of March. But as always, there is a still a bit more to cover in the meantime.

New releases of the Week

In addition to the songs that I have reviewed this week (Rocket Punch’s CHIQUITA, Super Junior’s Callin’, Cherry Bullet’s Love In Space and TEMPEST’s Bad News), we also saw the following releases drop this past week:

  • Rollin – VANNER
  • Pinky Swear – CIX
  • UP – Bang Yong Guk
  • The 8th Spring – Hong Eunjin
  • Want You Back – ONE.KI
  • made in U – Yeo Eun

Throwback Corner

This week’s song to be featured in the Throwback Corner is one I probably have already featured in the corner (I believe). Brown Eyed Girl’s Sixth Sense made a reappearance on my radar. And per usual, I cannot pass the opportunity to listen to song again, given that it is one of my favourites of all time.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The highest ranking non-Korean song this week is JAMIE’s Pity Party, which ranked in the 3rd position this past week. Check it out below!

The Charts

Congratulations to Cherry Bullet for topping my Weekly KPOP Chart with their comeback single, Love In Space. For more of the charts from the last week, keep on reading!
