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!

Just taking a moment to express my appreciation for the “notable B-sides” section of these posts. I often find something I like after a week of unremarkable releases, so thanks for including it!

I second the comment about notable Bsides. Based on the post, seems like I have to check out Suho’s album.

This week I only liked Woodz’ and KickFlip’s Title tracks. .

As for Bsides, P1Harmony’s Dancing Queen and TheKingdom’s Forget made it to the Playlist.

That’s all I’ve got.

KickFlip good b-sides for me are Gas On It and 404: Not Found. Crush is mid, tiki taka is obnoxious and too awkward, Secret Nightmare has some parts I like but that weren’t developed.
