THIS WEEK IN K-POP: Ranking the New Releases from October 26 – November 1

Posted on by 6 Comments

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!

  3. nexz really snuck up on me!! beat-boxer was everything i wanted from them: fun, catchy, dynamic, energetic. i’ve actually really come around to their music recently. im him, nallina, o-rly etc grew on me so much after i checked out some of the music show performances, those boys are crazy talented

    i was really hesitant about and tbh disappointed with SOB at first cause it was so different from their usual sound but OOO yeah what a grower, easily one of my fav songs this week

  4. Joochan, Tempest, Xikers, Miyeon, and Lucy. There’s a song called Cartoon by Jang Haneum (have no idea who he is) that I enjoyed.

    As for SOB, I think I like it but I have not listened to it enough to make a decision (it’s not on Spotify)🤨
