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).

VVV is a 9.75 now…does this mean AHOF’s rendezvous is a 10?

“Right Here” is honestly a 10 for me. Still my favourite song from them.

THE DIP BETWEEN VVV AND AURA, I’M CRYING 😭😭 and I thought the dip between xikers’ Rockstar and Do or Die was horrendous when I did their chart a while back 😭
But yeah, they’ve had high highs and some lows and in the end, it comes down to a decent middle of the pack. VVV’s a 10 for me though. Shame they never came back with a sound like that and went for… Stylish (prolly had to rush their comeback cause of the shit with Haknyeon, which ofc is all on the company and not the guys)
