2019 in Review

I’m gonna do a bunch of different categories. Also the first half or two-thirds of the year might be more heavily represented because I’ve had more time to sit with them plus I was gone and only semi-keeping up since September. Anyways overall takeaway from this year, the boys impressed me.

Favorite Summer Songs (not many groups released summer songs)

For The Summer (special album) - WJSN 

Feedback - Boa

Questions - Zelo

Wave - ATEEZ

Illusion - ATEEZ

I'm mad Seventeen didn’t release Network Love in summer

Rookie of the Year

Female: GWSN 

I had to give it to them once I found out that they were my #5 Spotify artist! I didn’t even realize I listened to them that much but I really do like they’re music. I just don’t know anything about them.

Male : TXT / VERIVERY

Honorable Mention: CIX, AB6IX

This was so hard because the newer boy groups have really been impressing me this year. I don’t think I mention TXT or VERIVERY on my blog at all but both have started their careers with a solid discography and verivery already has a signature sound. CIX and AB6IX get honorable mention for their amazing debuts but I think both of their comeback projects are weaker than the debuts.

Not Song of the Year But You Should Definitely Check It Out

1m1s - W Project 4 

An emotional dance bop! Watch the choreography video. I wouldn’t even be mad if they put this on their debut album.

Face - Woosung

You’ve probably already heard this but if you haven’t go listen. Woosung carries this song with his voice

Still Loving You - 100%

Let’s Get Loud - We In The Zone (WITZ)

Time of our Life - Day6 

I feel like this didn’t get as much hype as their other titles. Please enjoy happy Day6!!

Reminsce All - ONEWE

As I’ve already said this song epitomizes slow burn.

All night - ASTRO

You probably know this one too but you should stream it again anyways

Focus - Kim Dong Han 

I feel like people really overlooked this one. If he had released it like a month and a half later I feel like it could have done well as a song for the summer that doesn’t sound like a summer song

Leave it - N.FLYING 

Feel Good - Jang Dae Hyeon

The song makes you feel good as the title says

Binu - Bibi

I.M. - Horizon

Sometimes solo endeavors can slip under the radar so make sure you check this out.

I Like That - Lee Jinhyuk 

Loca Mini Album - Favorite

Remember Me - Boys De Capo (BDC)

Summer! - Pentagon

You may be wondering why this was not in my summer list. Well I didn’t like Humph so I didn’t actually listen to this for awhile.

Round 2 - Pentagon

The Only - Raiden

Thank you Raiden for doing what SM won’t. Blessed Irene solo.

Forever Young - Giant Pink

Love U - Monsta X

I love this song cuz it’s light and catchy but most of all the lyrics. 

Tonight, - June

Happiness - Pentagon

Forever Love - Youngjae

good party/dance song

ILLUSION - B.I.G 

Fever - DONGKIZ

Super fun and retro

Beautiful Girl - WooSung

TOUCHIN' - Kang Daniel

Really good song I considered putting it in my top song list but there were too many

COME - Newkidd 

I pay attention to them mostly bc Hansol but this is their most interesting output so far

The Time I Need - Kim Jaehwan

Take a Hike - Jiyeon

Stray Kids Mixtape : Gone Days

This is my favorite thing I’ve heard from them cuz I don’t like their title track sound

Tie - Oh Saebom

I hate drops so much but this has one of the best instrumental breaks

Maybe I - CIX

Although I was not in love with their comeback, this mellow song stands out

Top Albums

I gave these an order but it’s more you could split the list into thirds of top tier, 2nd tier, 3rd tier (i.e. Feel Special is definitely better than XX but Superhuman is practically on the same level as Feel Special)

Wolf - Woosung

2/4 - ONEWE

HELLO! - 1TEAM

Veri-Chill - VERIVERY

Male Top Title Song

On the opposite end I loved A LOT of boy groups songs. I don’t think my blog reflects it at all but buckle up for this long list. Again this list has an order but it’s not a hard order however, number one is definitely my number one. A recurring element of this list is songs with amazing choruses
