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!

Seriously, there are at least eleven songs on this list that I actively like to some degree, plus a lot of great albums. No 9+ rated stunner, but a wealth of new material.
I struggled to rank them because everything felt so equal.

Wow, what a week! Moonride being last shows what solid output we got. That notable bside list is huge too. Evan’s album has been the biggest hit with me, especially Twilight. That song is addicting and I’ve been playing it nonstop!

Both Evan’s and &Team’s albums (minus Mark on Me) were highlights for me. Also nice to see the I-LAND reunions on the music shows.

With Immature being here (meaning it stuck on you), do you think it would have been a better first song for Evan? It was in contention for being his first released song (according to his documentary).

d.o’s, hrtz.wav’s, and verivery’s albums were so strong, def the week’s highlights for me! i didn’t ever go back to hrtz.wav’s title but sunday morning, thinkin’ bout you, and first daylight had greattt melodies. coward is my favorite song this week as well
i think i’m gonna buy the saucin’ album this week, nexz were already one of my fav 5th gen bgs but im a full on stan now. i love the direction they’re going in and they can sell pretty much any song if they attach a performance to it. upgrade was by far my least favorite song on the ep but after the mv dropped im moving to it
