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).

I have a “teen pop millennium” playlist that’s over 500 songs long, but I think you might be particularly interested in this shorter one that I call “Slammin’ Y2K” It captures a very specific, hard-hitting Max Martin funk pop sound that tends to really appeal to me. Basically, anything that sounds like Bye Bye Bye or Everybody or Crazy makes it in. It’s a pretty selective list, but it’s one of my favorites to listen to.

I don’t really listen to it as an album tbh so I’d just pick the longer one and add any songs that aren’t already on it. My version of the first album has 21 tracks haha

Have you heard their song, Highlight? It was Summer’s B-side.
I Think it was their best song released recently.
