Let& #39;s get started!
20. SUNMI - pporappippam

I had doubts with this number coz I had other 3 songs I also wanted to include, but at the end I chose this one. I definitely prefer other songs by her, but I still like this one
19. TAEYEON - Dear Me

I was about to not include it but then I listened to it again and got reminded of how beautiful it sounds and how emotional the lyrics are
18. IZ*ONE - Secret Story of the Swan

I prefer their other release of this year much more (in fact, spoiler: expect it to be VERY high in the ranking), but this one is good too even if I compare them
17. JeA (Feat Moonbyul) - Greedyy

I don& #39;t know, I just find this song super lovely and cute! Depending on my mood I might put it a little lower, but still, I really like the vibe and the fact that the lyrics are written by IU
16. Weeekly - Tag Me

A fun song, catchy and very enjoyable, such a nice debut tbh
15. RYU SU JEONG - Tiger Eyes

Good song and Sujeong SLAYS, literally everything about her is a serve: vocals, facials, stage presence, vibe, blue hair!
14. Oh My Girl - Nonstop

I loved it when it was released, but got kinda tired of it. I still like it, though I listened to it too much and I just love other OMG songs way more. But anyways Mimi ate and they deserved those numbers in the charts
13. Dreamcatcher - Scream

I actually believe this is my least fav title track by them, although it& #39;s still good. But coming from Deja Vu maybe made me have higher expectations. It& #39;s okay tho, they did great even without Handong (*sniffs*)
12. DIA - Hug U

Not gonna lie, it kinda reminds me of a GFriend b-side in their early years, it has those vibes, but that& #39;s automatically a good thing for me, apart from the fact that the songs is lovely
11. Nature - Girls

Although it took me a few listens to appreciate it more, I feel that the song and the MV as a whole are unique, and the sound has a vibe I like

TW: there& #39;s an uncensored version of the MV with (fake) blood and knives
10. Redsquare - ColorFull

Another debut I really enjoyed. I like the song the more I listen to it, and it& #39;s very original (also risky and brave) how they pull off that concept where you cannot see their faces entirely
9. WJSN - Butterfly

Beautiful and catchy song, maintaining the type of sound and concept that Cosmic Girls usually do (in an amazing way btw). Vocals on point too
8. April - Lalalilala

Overall it& #39;s a very good song and very catchy. I liked it from the first listen and each time it gets better and better
7. Weki Meki - Dazzle Dazzle

The way I was not going to include this song in this ranking because I didn& #39;t pay much attention the first time, but thank god I played it again because now I can& #39;t stop listening to it, this is such a bop!
6. Stella Jang - Villain

I literally love everything about this: the song, the sound, the concept, the lyrics, the vocals, the melody... I didn& #39;t know her before (I didn& #39;t know she was the one singing Colors), and what a nice discovery
OH WE& #39;RE ALREADY AT THE TOP5
5. Apink - Dumhdurum

Apink releasing another high quality song and showing how they are 2nd gen queens that keep on slaying
4. ITZY - Wannabe

This song has been on repeat in my playlist for months and I don& #39;t get tired of it a single bit, it& #39;s awesome and watching the live stages makes me love it more
3. GFriend - Crossroads

The representatives of the orchestral pop sound are at it again showing once more why they& #39;re the masters of the passionate melancholy concept. Beautiful and emotional song, and that acapella Yuju moment in the last chorus? Eargasm
2. IZ*ONE - Fiesta

Not a surprise since I already told you it was gonna be high, but I mean, how couldn& #39;t it? I can& #39;t find a single thing I don& #39;t love about this song
And the winner is...
1. IU (Prod.&Feat. Suga) - Eight

I can& #39;t even explain how many things this song makes me feel. You& #39;ve no idea how many times I& #39;ve cried listening to it and watching the MV. Literally the only thing I don& #39;t absolutely adore about it is that it& #39;s too short
Let& #39;s add a couple of honorable mentions because why not
HA:TFELT - Life Sucks

I didn& #39;t include this one because the full song is in English so I don& #39;t know if that is considered k-pop or not (?), but anyways, I would have put it in the middle or so, I really like it

TW: (fake) blood
IU - Into the I-LAND

Since it& #39;s technically for the show and it& #39;s not really a title track or single (?) itself I thought I shouldn& #39;t include it but, as everything IU does, it sounded good too
Others that didn& #39;t make it to the list but almost: Bol 4& #39;s Leo, GWSN& #39;s Bazooka!, DreamNote& #39;s Wish and (G)i-dle& #39;s Oh My God.
I can& #39;t believe preparing and posting this thread took me hours lol and I& #39;ll do the same in December with the second half of the year& #39;s releases (July - December). Also I& #39;ll be glad to read your opinions! And yeah, that& #39;s all, stan talented women https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
