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).

Oof, Fast Forward saved her from verging close to the Enemy territory (without it, she’d get an 7.15). And the thing is, she has so much potential to do better, Fast Forward really shows what she’s capable of, but alas, TBL would rather focus on fuckass ADP and dungeon her and to an extent, Meovv

But damn, what made Ice Cream rise for you? Sure, a 4.5 to a 6 jump isn’t anything overly noticeable, but I’m surprised since your initial review of it was so scathing

It’s just not “that bad” in the way many songs that have come in its wake are. Don’t get me wrong… it’s still bad. It’s just not as offensive as other songs I’ve ranked in the 4s over the past few years.

Is it an IOI song? I honestly didn’t know but it showed up as a Somi mv on her wikipedia. I’ll just delete it.
