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).

Yeesh, never realized how short their singles run are for a 2¾ years old group. But yeah, On and On and He+She are their best songs. Rest are too forgettable I fear. I sense you prolly regret putting them high up on that rookies list now huh

Probably not, since it’s basically just a dance video.

It’s good. Nothing amazing and way too short/underdeveloped, but it’ll make a fun b-side.
From the highlight medley, it wasn’t one of the songs that stuck out to me.
