When it comes down to it, what makes a “bias” group? It’s a complicated formula – one that starts and ends with the personal connection you feel to the members and their music. Golden Child haven’t yet released my favorite single in any year since debut, but their appeal runs deeper than a single song. … Continue reading
As part of my “Top 100 K-pop Songs of All-Time” countdown, I took the effort to dive deeply into my top ten picks and break them down moment by moment. But, there are plenty of other songs that deserve this same treatment. So, The Bias List proudly presents an in-depth feature: “Breaking Down the K-pop … Continue reading
Over the past three weeks, we’ve been voting on a series of K-pop summer songs. Throughout the match-ups, we’ve seen titans fall and underdogs rise. It all culminated in yesterday’s final battle, where SHINee’s View went up against Golden Child’s Let Me. So… which track won? Well, the Goldenness have descended. I guess I shouldn’t … Continue reading

And with that, we have our finalists! This is the big one, folks! Today, we’ll decide on The Bias List‘s inaugural Ultimate K-pop Summer … Continue reading
Congratulations to SHINee’s View! We have our first finalist, as the song garnered a huge 69.1% of the vote. We’ve got one more match-up before that final battle, and today we’ll decide SHINee’s opponent. Will it be ATEEZ’s Wave or Golden Child’s Let Me? I honestly have no idea. Both tracks have done well in … Continue reading
Congratulations to ATEEZ’s Wave! This was a tough fight, with Sistar leading through much of the day. But, ATEEZ turned things around and ended up snatching victory with 54.6% of the vote. Pour one out for Sistar, everyone. They would have gotten my vote! We’re down to our last match-up in this second round of … Continue reading
Congratulations to Sistar’s Loving U! This was a slightly tighter race than I’d anticipated, but the song scored an easy victory with 64.7% of the vote. Next up, we have a duel between two tracks with quite opposite charms. It’s BLACKPINK‘s 2017 hit As If It’s Your Last versus Golden Child’s Let Me, which came … Continue reading
Following on the heels of yesterday’s ‘top 2021 singles,’ it’s time to turn our attention to K-pop’s full and mini albums. As with title tracks, 2021 has delivered a strong series of albums so far. My lists are a little longer than normal, but the criteria remains the same. To be considered an “album,” the … Continue reading
What a difference a year makes! This time in 2020, I struggled to cobble together a mid-year list worth celebrating. I ended up finding five songs, though one wasn’t technically a single. This year, I’ve got a whopping fourteen tracks! That’s quite a turnaround, and a testament to 2021’s strength. Because of this, I’ve scrapped … Continue reading
I think it’s obvious that I love a good statistic. In addition to my core rating system, I’ve got my top three songs of each month, my yearly countdowns and more data breakdowns than anyone could ask for. None of these are perfect ways to categorize or quantify something as subjective as music, but they … Continue reading
If there’s anything I’ve learned from covering pop music for over a decade, it’s that songwriters and collaborators are just as important as the artists themselves. Though they often work behind the scenes, this feature is a chance to shine the light on some of K-pop’s most innovative and accomplished producers and composers. 13 (SCORE … Continue reading
At the end of each month, I look back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists. I take my own ratings into account, but there’s a bit of wiggle room as certain songs tend to grow or fade. February 2021 Overall Thoughts 2021 is off to a roaring start, and February really kicked into … Continue reading
It’s very rare that I’ll write a “buried treasure” or “in-depth album review” post, only to have that song given a full music video and promoted later on. So rather than have everyone sift through The Bias List archives, I’m going to re-post my original review of Breathe today, updated with the video. My thoughts … Continue reading
