THIS WEEK IN K-POP: Ranking the New Releases from January 4 – 10

At the end of each month, I compile my top three K-pop title tracks and list a ton of honorable mentions. But 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!

  2. Even though your initial review of CNBLUE’s Killer Joy was kinda lukewarm I’m glad to see it here in your top songs of the week. And props for appreciating the b-sides from 3logy. The upbeat tracks are pretty catchy but the slower tracks (Again; Temperature of Memory; Still, A Flower) are also starting to grow on me, if only bc they add a nice texture to the LP and a good contrast to the faster songs.
