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).

The Bias List // K-Pop Reviews & Discussion 
Hey Nick, as a curiosity, for this feature, are you going down a list of artists or are you selecting at random ? I was curious because it doesn’t seem to be due to debut year, or in alphabetical order. Also, I’m curious to see APINK’s one. I’ve been listening to ‘I Don’t Know’ and wanted to see if your rating had changed (an 8.5 seems so low!), especially looking back at the song with the current K-pop landscape in mind.

It’s pretty much random, though I’m trying to offer variety in both the types of acts I cover (era, concept, popularity, etc) and the tier of ranking they end up in.
