THIS WEEK IN K-POP: Ranking the New Releases from August 23 – 29

Posted on by 5 Comments

At the end of each month, I compile my top three K-pop title tracks and list a ton of honorable mentions. But each Sunday, I’ll offer a compendium of the week’s new releases featured on the blog. And even more than that, I’ll attempt to rank them from my least-to-most-liked. I invite you to share your own rankings as well. The comments section of these posts is also a great spot to discuss anything that has happened in K-pop during the week.

Make sure to click on the title of any release to read the full review and see its initial rating. Consider this your one stop Bias List shop each and every Sunday!

  1. Ah, Cortis at the bottom, it’s been a long time since that happened, I highkey missed seeing that ngl. But yeah, Die Another Day is my song of the week too.

    Also, useless fact about MONEYMONEYMONEY cause I’m bored: the word “money” is mentioned 145 times in its 2:19 length which makes up for the word being repeated every 0.96 second. In comparison, Girlset’s Chat repeats “Chat” 124 times in its 2:51 length, making it every 1.37 second.
