Rather than contain my “Risers and Fallers” feature to a single post in June, I’m going to share a bite-sized version at the end of each month. This will let me account for more songs and make a nice lead-in to the monthly round-up post.
I anticipate most of these ratings adjustments will be negligible: a 0.5 shift here, a 0.25 shift there. But, it’s a fun way to keep track of how my feelings on songs have changed over time – as well as which tracks currently have momentum on my playlist.
And remember, just because a song is marked as a “faller” doesn’t mean I hate it! Falling from a “9” to an “8.75” is no shame. 9+ rated songs occupy a totally different playlist in my music library, so I’m pretty particular about what qualifies. It’s a high bar.
This month’s feature covers the period from March 18th to April 21st.
RISERS
Chuu – Only Cry In The Rain
Rating: 7.75 → 8
Close Your Eyes – All My Poetry
Rating: 8.25 → 8.75
Dragon Pony – Not Out
Rating: 8 → 8.25
Kai – Adult Swim
Rating: 7 → 7.5
NCT Wish – poppop
Rating: 5.5 → 6
STAYC – Bebe
Rating: 8 → 8.75 *Biggest Riser*
Ten – Stunner
Rating: 8 → 8.25
FALLERS
Fantasy Boys – Undeniable
Rating: 8 → 7.75
Kang Daniel – Mess
Rating: 7.25 → 7
Solar – Want
Rating: 8 → 7.5
Tempest – Unfreeze
Rating: 8.5 → 8 *Biggest Faller*
Oh damn, I never expected a below 5.75-rated song to rise O: What made you raise poppop’s ratings though? This makes me wonder if there are instances where these F-graded songs rose to Ds or even Cs over time (apart from that time you re-evaluated songs in 3s and below)
But well, this period was quite unspectacular, so I don’t have many risers and fallers are none.
But well, risers:
1- All My Poetry (Close Your Eyes) – 8 (all) to 8.75 (9, 8, 9, 9) *biggest riser*
2- Bebe (STAYC) – 8 (7, 9, 8, 8) to 8.5 (8, 9, 9, 8)
3- Breathe (xikers) – 6.25 (5, 7, 7, 6) to 6.5 (6, 7, 7, 6)
Fallers: None that I can think of.

I’ve only listened to ETERNALT since it’s release (literally listening to it right now.) TRY WITH US has also been slowly growing on me with each listen.
