biggest surprises of the year

❍positive

yukika's zoom concert: it was so cute!!!! i really enjoyed it tbh a lot more than the more official cb virtual concerts i did 🙃🙃🙃

niziu's "poppin shakin": the hold this song has over me neede to be studied

purple kiss' "hide & seek" album: an incredible save after their debut album, almost enough to get them female tt of the year tbh. also definitely best point dance of the year imo

loona's "starseed": i almost never thought we would make it back to cute + synths loona. im would make "i survived "im not like other girls" era loona" except im pretty sure they're gonna go back to girl crush :")

lilli lilli's debut single "barcode": perhaps its because i had 0 expectations going in, but it was definitely the strongest nugu debut in my opinion (and stronger than a lot of non nugus!)

rocket punch's "bubble up!" mini album (jpn debut): every song on this mini is good. i am a huge fan of cute music so it's right up my alley and i would highly recommend

woo!ah! has some cute tracks that i didn't expect to like (bad girl and i dont miss u)

aespa's yeppi yeppi: honestly its very close between this track, sunny, and starseed. i really really really love it idek what to say. it doesmt suit their image so i almost wish it was an rv song so i could see a performance 😭😭😭 this would never halpen but id love if aespa had like a twin sister group with interesting cute concepts like yeppi yeppi (their fans would cannabalize eachother tho so no)

❍negative

itzy's first full album: not bad, but i expected more. there are tracks that i like but for an album that long i expected not only more new content (ie not old instrumentals) and more hits

seventeen: i haven't really been feeling their releases this year 😭

woodz: 2020 woodz was a bit better, though he didnt release anything bad this year

onlyoneof: 🙃

only one wjsn comeback this year and ive is debuting...theyre putting my girls out to pasture 😭😭😭

billlie's "ring x ring": it's grown on me but i really wanted to like it a lot more than i do 😔 the album's good though

there are more but i cant remember oops

❌

♤: there wasn't a clear winner this year. woodz dropped pretty far down my most listened artists (although he's the #2 male artist). mirae...because their bsides aren't great i don't think it'd be fair to put them as aoty. with bae173 all their music is good but they only have two small minis and aren't very active otherwise. i feel like theyre not super dynamic as a group yet unfortunately. i'd like to see them develop as individuals somehow, idk

♡: there just wasn't a clear winner tbh. contenders: wjsn's unnatural, gwsn's like it hot, purplekiss' zombie...itzy's loco was good too. although loona's ptt is my most listened song, it's more of a guilty pleasure song.

♧: i barely pay attention to performances tbh, the reason this is a category is because gwsn's like it hot actually made me watch livestages (which happens very rarely!)

♢: i feel like i don't stan very many bgs anymore, so i don't keep up with choreo even though dance practices are one of my favorite parts of kpop. i was thinking about libido for this one but onlyoneof (8d creative, really) is on thin ice with me and i havent been able to consume their content since lovegate 🥴

random thoughts: since ive been into survival shows lately, a lot of my top 100 songs are actually survival show theme songs 😭 (definitive ranking with thoughts coming soon). i also did this thing where i would make playlists of songs that sound like survival show songs and then basically stockholm myself into liking them? which is why certain songs (like hit, ptt, mmook jji bba, more, etc) were really high on the list lol. i don't know if i'll post my full top 100 this year but i'll probably reblog an ask game once the bottom 50 stop moving lol.

random favorite tracks (includes songs released before 2021)

i made this section to give e-girls a shoutout, as i discovered their music in december 2020 right after their disbandment. bessekai is one of my top songs of all time, along with cinderella fit.

txt's blue hour retroactively made the top albums of 2020 list. i dont love them but the vibes were on pont

bree runway's atm and damn daniel are really good, i love her collabs

karencici's do do do

yoasobi's racing into the night (夜にかける (there are too many kanji for ka im sorry but it should still come up i think))

the entire montero album but especially montero, industry baby, scoop, and am i dreaming

tori kelly's 25th because i unironically love christmas music sorry

nct dream's life is still going on is very decent

jolin tsai's ugly beauty is sooo good. as one of my friends would say, grown 👏 women 👏 music 👏

hyundawn's ping pong, i know, & party feel love: not much to say but i really enjoyed all of these. made me miss triple h though 😭😭😭

marina came back!!! venus fly trap is so good

tokyo drift, teriyaki boyz (power impact remix) (i feel like if the song wasnt praising japan sm would buy it for nct 2022)

wjsn the black was good, i miss mature concepts!

young the giant's superposition

akmu's play ugly

normani's wild side

orbit's bloom

brave girls' after we ride

top albums of the year (in order!)

note: i desperately need to listen to the next episode by akmu but nakka is the second track and i always end up listening to it on repeat instead of continuing the album 😭 so assume that its somewhere on this list (i bet it would end up somewhere around 11? but ofc idk)

also, orbit's cb for the year is out on the 23rd...i'll probably update either this section or the negative surprises section, we'll see!
