THIS WEEK IN K-POP: Ranking the New Releases from April 20 – 26

At the end of each month, I compile my top three K-pop title tracks and list a ton of honorable mentions. In 2025, I thought I’d try something new and add a weekly feature to supplement my monthly round-up. Each Sunday, I’ll offer a compendium of the week’s new releases featured on the blog. And even more than that, I’ll attempt to rank them from my least-to-most-liked. I invite you to share your own rankings as well. The comments section of these posts is also a great spot to discuss anything that has happened in K-pop during the week.

Make sure to click on the title of any release to read the full review and see its initial rating. Consider this your one stop Bias List shop each and every Sunday!

  4. Very Important Observation: when will the baggy pants trend end??? I was rewatching Countdown! and Wait on me and Mona Lisa and they ALL wear these ugly effing pants and it’s literally distracting me, bring the ripped skinny jeans backkkkk what is even the point in spending 4 hours a day exercising for years and years if you’re gonna hide them legs inside plastic bags ughhhh
