“Enemies of the Blog”
Oh CORTIS keep it up and you might just win that title

Don’t think they’ll drop below a 2 with Episode and Eternity. We’ll have to see what the comeback brings(which I’m not confident about given the title of the TT)

Enemies of the Blog sounds so funny, looking forward to it.

What I predict legends would be based off of Nick’s preferences: INFINITE (obviously), Shinee, Kara, Exo, etc. (mostly boy band groups)
Enemies of the blog…hmm. CORTIS, Eternity, Episode…

Lay could also fall under there

i never heard of that group, is it popular

oh nevermind, ur talking Abt that one soloist from EXO. yeah, he has rlly bad songs so he could definitely fall into the enemies category
LikeLike
9Muses and Rainbow could also probably end up in the Legends tier since they had the same main producers as Infinite and Kara, Sweetune.

This is fun! I approve. I won’t lie, Enemies of the blog sounds like a place to highlight especially hateful commenters, and now I kinda want that section too ;p

I’m excited to see where B1A4 ends up! Hopefully, their B(none)A3 releases don’t drag down the average too much.

I’m late to these posts but I’m enjoying this ranking in particular.
Justice for CIX though…”moddle of the pack”? NO WAY!!!!!!! ✌🏻

This feature acts as strong proof for the fact that on the average, you feel alot more strongly about boy group releases than you do girl groups (a point you’ve reiterated in previous posts).
LikeLike
i mean, that shouldn’t be a surprise. simply look at his top kpop songs and see the ratio of girl groups to boy groups
LikeLike
What I meant by that is the range of scores of male group artists tends to be higher than that of female group artists.

Dreamcatcher! 7 year K-pop group with no slumps and a nice and flat trendline. I miss them so much. They will always be my bias 😀
LikeLike
based on your bias towards them, Big Bang is very likely going to end up at the very top of this list

Hi! Just wondering what you’ll do if an artist that you’ve already created a career in song ratings post for makes new music. Will you add on to the image and edit the final rating? Or will it stay stagnant according to the time you made it?

It will change! In fact, I’ve already been updating them 😏

I’m wondering if you shouldn’t add the Underrated K-Pop artists since you’ve already calculated the songs of some of those artists.

I will probably do that eventually. Trying to decide whether I should make charts or not for them.
