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).

Gangnam Style was the first K-pop song I ever heard. I liked it, same as every other earthling at the time. I heard his Snoop Dogg song after and didn’t care for it, and I never thought to dig in further til I heard Dynamite 8 years later. I really liked and still like Dynamite, but I think I just listened to Butter after, then wrote the whole thing off again LOL. Wasn’t until 2024 when ILLIT’s Magnetic got me hooked after a random peak at the weekly most-viewed YouTube videos.
