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!

I’d say it’s grown on me a bit but I still feel like it’s too fragmented to completely work.

Not Chiller making it to your no.1 this week 😂 I was also shocked that you put Back To The Future as your no.1 last week too .
I genuinely enjoyed these two , I got BTTF right away and Chiller’s production made me enjoy it even more . The album was stellar too , as you said , its a solid album ! It definetely doesn’t level up their discography like Dreamscape & Dream()scape did , but it solidified the Dream sound and artistic direction they are heading in and want to develop it which I totally get . I am glad you enjoyed this release , there are times when I think that you may not like a release then you shock me (70% of the time)

I prefer Shattered to Chiller because Chiller to me feels kind of chaotic and scattered as a song, whereas Shattered feels “tighter”, more cohesive, more effective. I have listened to Chiller 3 times and I still can’t grasp the main idea of the song.

Agreed, but I think Chiller’s high points are slightly higher.
