There are a number of acts who have debuted in the past few decades and have dozens of song ratings on this blog. I thought it would be fun to lay these ratings out in chronological order, line-graph style, and take a macro view of their careers so far. Then, similar to my “Underrated K-pop” features, I can average their ratings into one mega-score and place them in a pantheon alongside other acts.
As always, this feature has some rules of its own. I’m including any “Song Review” ratings as part of this graph, including Japanese releases and collaborations with one other artist. I’m not including Buried Treasures or solo/sub-unit releases. For the ratings themselves, I’m using the most current number on this blog, so if a song was part of a “Risers and Fallers” or “Legendary Songs Inauguration” post, that’s the rating you’ll see displayed here. That means there will still be a few ratings here and there I find slightly inaccurate, but it’ll mostly reflect my up-to-date feelings.
Finally, these scores are completely subjective. Feel free to agree, disagree and argue (that’s part of the fun!), but know that this chart reflects the opinion of only one person (me).

Super Duper looking like it’s gonna snap the graph into two 😭 but yeah, they’ve had some classics here and there, although their recent work haven’t matched the level of their best works yet

U know that kind of old CD and VHS rental store vibe, where you’re browsing a shelf full of DVD cases and occasionally spot some guys on a cover with long, spiky hair, and you end up finding it funny enough to take it home? Well, Super Junior gives me that vibe, and that’s probably the safest way I can put it…

7.5 for No Other? 😭 I’d rate it way higher tbh. That song has aged really well for me — it still sounds so good today. Mr. Simple, Bonamana, and It’s You are also favorites of mine.

Their last comeback was so good. I’ve listened to it many times and it just gets better.
