[Special] Number 1 Songs from July 2022 to June 2023

Posted in Special, Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

As we have already wrapped up another July to June period, here is a recap of a full year’s worth of Weekly KPOP Charts winners! These are the song that topped the Weekly KPOP Charts segment between July 2021 and June 2022 (inclusive). As a quick recap, I personally decide on these charts. Songs that I prefer rank higher as I tend to gravitate towards them more. You will see the same artists return to the top of the charts throughout the year. But I also tend to surprise myself when an unexpected artist top of the charts for a particular week. So let’s have this walk down memory lane and see who topped the Weekly KPOP Charts between July 2021 and June 2022.

I am back from my break! Now back to the drafting and writing of new posts for the blog! But first, as mentioned previously during the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 2nd Week of June 2023, the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd and 4th Weeks of June 2023.

Unfortunately, I have misjudged the time it takes me to make prepare and draft up one of these posts. As such, I will only be posting the Weekly KPOP Charts for the 3rd Week of June 2023. Instead, you will see the 4th Week of June 2023 post tomorrow before I proceed back to standard transmission of reviews (which I may get to tomorrow or Wednesday). But without any more delay, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 3rd Week of June 2023.

The Charts

Congratulations to The New Six (TNX) for rising to the top spot on KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart for the very first time with their latest single Kick It 4 Now. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of June 2023

Posted in Weekly Charts1 Comment

Welcome back to another Weekly KPOP Chart post – this time for the 2nd Week of June 2023. Again, a quick one today, as I have need some time to draft up more posts while I am on a break in a weeks time (more on this below). I am unsure if I can post anything more today, but I will try to see if I can sneak in another review of some sort. Otherwise, I will see you during the week for more song reviews.

Off the blog for a week + Future plans upon my return

As alluded to above, I will be taking a short break from the blog – mainly to recoup my brain cells and destress from a couple of stressful weeks. As a result, some things will be shifted around. The first is that I will not be publishing any reviews for new releases that come out between 23 June to 3 July. I will revisit these new releases (which includes SHINee’s long-awaited comeback and U-KISS’ grand return, amongst others) once I am back on board on 4 July. But don’t worry, I will be pre-scheduling song and album reviews for that period, so there will be some action still happening on the blog.

For the Weekly KPOP Charts posts for the 3rd and 4th Weeks of June 2023 will be posted on 3 July (or maybe 4 July, depending on how tired I am on the 3rd).

Upon my return, I will post some annual posts that I usually post in July, such as My Top 10 Songs of 2023 (thus far) and a recap of the Weekly KPOP Charts between July 2022 to June 2023. I also intend to finally make some special posts as well – such as episode recaps for Queendom Puzzle, and song reviews for the original releases from PEAK TIME, FANTASY BOYS and Boys Planet.

Recap & New releases of the Week

This week saw song reviews for EXO’s pre-release single Let Me In and ATEEZ’s comeback single BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS). I also post reviews for several solo debuts which I had not yet reviewed including MINHYUN’s Hidden Sides, JOOHONEY’s FREEDOM and MIJOO’s Movie Star. On the album review front, I also focused on GOT7’s JINYOUNG and his solo debut mini-album, Chapter 0: WITH.

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Lime & Lemon – TVXQ!
  • Remember – Ju Wontaek
  • Like a Movie – 2Z
  • R.U.N – Suzy
  • Designer – VAV
  • Ready To Move – REN
  • WALEEN – Villain
  • Firework – &TEAM
  • Contrail – Baek Yebin
  • I Need Love – DKB
  • Epilogue – Jung Seung Hwan
  • My Soles Worn Out – Jooyoung
  • Wild Heart – LUN8
  • Voyager – LUN8
  • Marshmallow – MISAMO (TWICE)
  • Walk & Shine – QI.X
  • DLC – Stray Kids
  • FNF – Stray Kids

Throwback Corner

As it is Summer in Korea and I am freezing where I live, I thought to relive some Summer KPOP tracks. Naturally, this turned my attention to Red Velvet’s Red Flavor, which will be feature in this segment of the Weekly KPOP Charts on a yearly basis (as long as I continue to do these). It was definitely listed last year in this corner of the post!

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is KANG DANIEL’s all-English pre-release single, Wasteland, from his upcoming mini-album Realiez (which is to be released tomorrow). Wasteland ranks in the 27th position this week.

The Charts

Congratulations to Stray Kids for another week in the top spot on KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart with their latest single, S-Class. For more of the charts, keep on scrolling down.

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

Welcome back to this past week’s edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart – for the dates 21 May to 27th May 2023. Another quick introduction today. No additional reviews will be published today (as it is quite late into the evening where I am). Instead, I will be taking it easy tonight (as I got the day off tomorrow) to draft some reviews to publish during the week and beyond (I do have another holiday coming up, and I don’t want to leave you without reviews during that week). But for now, here is the Weekly KPOP Chart for the 4th Week of May 2023.

Recap & New releases of the Week

This week, I focused only on new releases, with reviews for ENHYPEN’s BITE ME, KARD’s ICKY and Dreamcatcher’s BONVOYAGE. On the album review front, I posted album reviews for MOONBIN & SANHA’s Incense and SF9’s The Piece OF9.

Other releases from the week includes:

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song this week is IU’s Celebrity. I know this is a more recent release from IU, being one of the singles released in 2021 from the soloist. But as this is outside of the current Weekly KPOP Chart system, it is featured here instead.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

This week’s non-Korean release of the week is Yesung’s C.h.a.o.s.m.y.th, his pre-release solo single from his newly released first Japanese mini-album. It ranks in the 19th position this week.

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 3rd Week of May 2023

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

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

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

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.

Recap & New releases of the Week

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. In addition to that, I also posted an album review for UP10TION’s Code Name: Arrow and Stray Kids’ SKZ-Replay (posted in 3 parts).

Other releases from the week includes:

  • Welcome To My Paradise – WayV
  • BOYFRI END – Woosoo (MASC)

  • Good Enough – Xdinary Heroes
  • Allergy – (G)I-DLE

Throwback Corner

This week’s throwback song comes from ONF’s discography, which I had playing in my ear whilst at work this past week. My pick, specifically, is We Must Love.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

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.

The Charts

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

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

Posted in KPOP, Weekly ChartsTagged 3 Comments

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

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

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

Posted in Weekly ChartsLeave a comment

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.

Recap & New releases of the Week

I posted two new reviews this past week – Kep1er’s Giddy and NCT DOJAEJUNG’s Perfume.

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

  • FRIEND THE END – BOL4
  • Chase Love Hard – BOL4 ft. Hwang Minhyun
  • ROYALTY – MUSTB
  • Green – Bang Yong Guk ft. Soovi

[Weekly KPOP Chart] 2nd Week of April 2023

Posted in Weekly Charts2 Comments

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

Posted in Weekly Charts2 Comments

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)
  • EUNOIA – Billlie
  • Burger Ate Pizza – Ryu Sera
  • i – Ryu Sera
  • Eyes On Me – Ahri (Rocking Doll)
  • Shining Bright – CSR
  • GGBB – MAMAMOO+
  • NUMBER BOY – HOLLAND
  • Love or Hate – Ryu Sujeong
  • TRICKY HOUSE – xikers
  • ROCKSTAR – xikers

Throwback corner

EXO’s Don’t Fight The Feeling, their most recent title track from 2021 is this week’s Throwback Song.

Non-Korean Release of the Week

The Non-Korean release of the 5th Week of March 2023 is SECRET NUMBER’s LIKE IT LIKE IT. It ranked in the 21st position. A review for LIKE IT LIKE IT is coming in the future. So keep, your eyes out for that.

The Charts

Congratulations to IVE and their newest song, Kitsch, for debuting in the number 1 spot of KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Chart for the 5th Week of March 2023.. For more of the charts, keep on reading for more of the charts.
