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).

Damn, Talk Saxy rising from a 7.75 to a 8.5 and then falling to an 8 😭
But yay, Memories is an 9! Man, that song is prolly the best birthday gift ever for me, especially as someone who is a Sungchan ult since 2020 and waited for so long for him in a fixed group, that song is an easy 10 for me for the sentiments alone. But yeah, their average is prolly around the same or so for me, maybe a little higher lol

Wasn’t Talk Saxy an 8.5 and Fly Up an 8.75 or something? Or did I miss one of the posts?
But anyways Impossible is undoubtedly their best song and Get a Guitar is also a 10 in my books. Do Your Dance grew so much and now it’s an 8.75.

I love how Bag Bad Back now has a higher score than Fly Up. it’s the same for me.
Impossible is undisputedly their best song. and shout out to Talk Saxy because it’s still so much fun to listen to.

I’m intrigued to see how Sunburst will fit into this.
