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).

I considered doing a buried treasure for H2H. I really like the whole album. Ultimately, I just became too busy this week to do it! My favorite b-sides are heart emoji and 15-LOVE.
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the from20 album.

Yeah, it fits them well: a group with mostly average, inoffensive music, a couple of bangers but besides it, they are just sailing smoothly.
Also, the pic you chose has only 11 members (without Haseul), so it feels odd to see a group pic without her

I loved that first EP they debuted with, it really set expectations high for me. I think they only ever met/surpassed that with Star, but a lot of their subunit and solo stuff while the group was still around was also good.
