Hobgoblin didn't go hard enough. 

Mysterious was so much fun, i hope you liked it upon your (re?)listen lol. 

& you dont? i think it goes great, if done correctly. examples: Why by Taeyeon. it just depends how it's handled tbh. but its okay, i knew KARD wouldnt be the favorite group here  & really? atleast we cna agree it's the image CLC needed (then changed & lost all their fans with their newer comeback)

[bluth]

i always thought green light was underrated but it seems like it has a fair share of love itt! it's still amazing tho and i probs would have liked to have seen it higher

80-71

 

 

 

 

80 Havana Camila

 

 

i... im deadass wordless, she did that. i still can't stand her & this is her last entry on the list, but jisoo h christ, this is a damn SONG. i really wish Becky G would've sang it tho. 

 

 

79 Mayores Becky G

 

 

speaking of the spanish princess herself, Becky G's spanish music has been . she's finally releasing more music & everything is a bop, but this is a true shining light. from the message of the song (only wanting to f*ck older men) to the chorus, this is a fun, thot bop that i blast whenever i get the chance. 

 

 

78 Cartoons Cupcakke

 

this is the song i've been waiting to hear from Cupcakke. she's delivering aggressive bars & commanding the center of attention like she rightfully deserves to. the synths are lovely as they hover over her & the song is just so much fun also. she spits jokes & i cant help laugh but also jam out like there's no tomorrow. she can make nasty, raw sex anthems but she can do so much more than that. & this song proves it. 

 

 

77 Code Blue The-Dream

 

 

idc what anybody says, as much as an atrocious mess 50 Shades Darker was, i loved it lmao. but the best part of the movie was hands down, this song. it's Earned It met an Miguel song at a bar, sniffed ALOT of cocaine, had a vodka tonic, & had some aggressive but romantic bathroom sex. it's just tooo good tbh

 

 

76 Friends Justin Bieber

 

this is hands down his best single of the last 3 years. Bloodpop's production is persistent throughout but once it gets to the chorus, it lets loose & explodes just as much as Justin is exploding his feelings on his current romantic dilemma. he sounds great on this song (i hate how no matter what i still love him no matter what ). this should've easily been another #1 hit for him but oh well, it's still #1 to me lol

 

 

75 Like It AIn't Nuttin' Fergie

 

 

Double Dutchess was honestly, a fun but huge mess. but it did have some standout tracks & this was my #1 from it. it's a pretty simple song: constant urban production w/ trap influences, Fergie being a bad bitch & telling us to rub our titties, & just trying to get us hyped up. does it work? hell yeah it does. what Fergie Ferg does best is be a shameless, all out '**** you get money' bad bitch & she excels at it here. she still has that fire i always loved her for & i hope it never fades. 

 

 

74 Aces High Serayah (from the Empire Soundtrack)

 

 

it's no secret, Tiana is the best character from empire due to her ALWAYS getting the bops. from Drip Drop to Get No Better to Look Don't Touch, she releases songs for the gays but this has to be her best yet. the tropical-house production does wonders for her & it's just a carefree & fun song. Serayah needs to make a whole album with songs like this & you best believe, i'll be the first in line to get a copy. 

 

 

73 Emotional Charli XCX

 

1/3 of her entries on here. let's be real, Charli XCX definitely proved herself as a popstar to always pay attention to. while Sucker was a mesys & great album (just how i like 'em), i really wondered where she would go from there. but this song, this song is brilliant. this is my favorite type of mid-tempo production (it also has hints of 'Boom Clap') & Charli is just singing how it is. it's thumping & just, fantastic. Miss Charli, you finally won me over. 

 

 

72 Advice Kehlani

 

 

this song makes me cry/emotional/go into deep thought everytime i listen to it. Kehlani was singing nothing but the truth & the emotion you can hear her pour out just feels so, it feels so real & just inspirational to me. her vocals are fantastic & i could go on about this song all day. the bridge is something ELSE that just really hits home for me (my boy struggles are just ). Kehlani didn't have to write such an powerful & beautiful song as this, but got damn i'm so grateful she did. 

 

 

71 How Long Charlie Puth

 

 

this might as be the ultimate f*ck boy song lol. but i love how Charlie twists it & puts the song in both perspectives: one of the cheater & one of the one that got cheated. it also helps that production is just so hot (that guitar in the background? whew!) & the way you can hear his vocal chords STRAINED to the high heavens during the final high note really takes this song to another level. this is my favorite Charlie Puth song ever & im shocked that he finally made a song better than We Don't Talk Anymore.

80-71

 

 

 

 

80 Mayday April

 

 

April are one of the more underrated girl groups in my opinion. are they doing anything new or amazing? nah, but what they do really well is deliver solid & cute bops & this song is a perfect exmaple. it's like 'Dumb Dumb' by Red Velvet took an anti-depressant & it's just a great time: all ages allowed. the hook is catchy as hell & they all sound & look wonderful, this will definitely not leave your head once you hear it

 

 

79 Night Rather Than Day EXID

 

 

if i'm being completely honest, not having Solji (their main vocalist) join this comeback was one of the best decisions this group have made. THIS was the revival they needed. the line distribution gave everybody a chance to shine (im looking at you Hani & Junghwa, about TIME y'all got to show out). Hyerin did great doing all the power vocalist stuff & LE remains one of the best (& underrated) female rappers out there today. add in a retro but still fresh sound, this is one of their best singles & songs to date.

 

 

78 Coming Over DEAN ft Baek Yerin

 

 

i'm just going to say the obvious, DEAN is the best male r&b solo artist out right now. from his outstanding debut 130 Mood: TRBL to his features on songs like Shut Up & Groove & And July, he has proved to be versatile & just an incredible songwriter & vocalist. when this song was first released, i was expecting something edgy & extremely hip-hop flavored, but instead it's a very chill, sweet, & feel good track. his vocals are great as always & Yerin's light but strong tone mixes with his vocals like butter. this ended up being one of my most played songs of the year & just proved, yet again, that everybody should be stanning DEAN. 

 

 

77 WoW! Lovelyz

 

 

Lovelyz is a group a year ago, i never thought i would stan. their more on the ultimate feminine side of k-pop, release extremely girly & happy songs, & pretty much keep the same vibe throughout their releases. but there's something about them that feels so endearing, natural, & just genuinely good about them that i couldn't help but fall in love with them. 'WoW!' sounds slightly similar to their amazing song 'Destiny' but also has it's own weird quirks that make it a true Lovelyz original. there's no showstopping chorus, just a light & fun song that's easy on the years & ever so smooth. Lovelyz can't do any wrong in my book. 

 

 

76 Complex ZIon.T ft G-Dragon

 

i never payed Zion.T any attention until earlier this year (mostly because the kr&b scene was pretty dry) but oh boy, i don't regret it for one second. i truly see why he's Korea go-to r&b guy, his voice is sleek & very unique but the instrumentals he has just make you feel at ease & just like everything is all good. this song does just that & then some. a summer laying back on an italian beach is what this song reminds me of & G-Dragon continues his streak of effortless & laid-back features this year. 

 

 

75 Wake Me Up Taeyang

 

 

this is easily my favorite song Taeyang has ever done. his voice just sounds so warm, powerful, but also sad & full of regret. the 90's r&b vibe mixed with a warm synth chorus just make a truly amazing song. i'm awake & if Taeyang ever wanted to love me like there's no tomorrow, i'll let him 1000%. 

 

 

74 Love City 9Muses

 

L 

O

V

E

LOVE CITY!

 

 

this song is disjointed, sexy, & just an all out banger. it reminds me of SNSD's 'Mr.Mr' in the verses & the chorus is just all out fun. no matter how many members 9(?)Muses has, they know how to deliver an excellent bop. 

 

 

73 Love Is Sudden MIXX

 

 

even tho their sadly gone (they disbanded right after this was released ), i won't ever stop bopping to this 'My Everything'-esque jam. it has this groove that makes light pop-r&b songs like this irresistible & the girls' voices just sound lovely.

 

 

72 Shangri-La VIXX

 

 

this song is a masterpiece. from the deep-house x chinese synths x gorgeous electronic synths x insanely excellent pop chorus, this is a song every boy group WISH they had. everybody is on top of their game here (especially N, Leo, Ken, & Ravi) & the song doesn't fall short at all. alongside one of the most stunning music videos i've seen this year, this release was truly something special. 

 

 

71 Plz Don't Be Sad Highlight

 

as you can see, this was the year for revivals in k=pop. every artist & group was changing up their sound/image & doing something new. it truly made this year feel exciting & Highlight, formerly known as BEAST, did just that. they left their previous label, made their own label, & release a feel good jam that can't help but make you smile & want to throw some ass with balloons falling down. the chorus is super cheerful & i truly gained a new appreciation for these guys. even tho this year has been a mess, Highlight made sure to not let that get us down & to just live in the moment & not be sad.

[TRF.]

"Emotional" is my least fave on N1A but I still like it. "Mayores" is that bop tho!

[madonnas]

I'm shocked some of you guys remembered what the songs on Kehlani's album sounded like lol.

Havana and Mayores  

Hmm, I didn't like that Exid title track, Boy is better!  And DDD is waaaaay better.
