So I'll be sharing with you guys my top 20 kpop songs of the year of 2013. This was a tough job, there were so many good songs and some definitely made it to my all time favourite list. Without further ado lets proceed!!
Note....
This list is 100% biased so I have included things I like, and it may be very different to yours so feel free to tell me what your top songs of the year are and finally Happy New Year!!!!
This may be the last post of the year, not sure yet haha
Starting off the list with number 20
20. Troublemaker - Now
Troublemaker brought sexy to a whole new level. Even though this song is as catchy as Troublemaker but still it is a great song.
19. Confused - AOA
This was a song I fell in love with after listening to it the first time.
18. Gentlemen - Psy
Another fun song from Psy but it did have some weird English in this song. I actually found the video to be more amusing than Gangnam Style, but I was a bit dissapointed at first as he didn't use an original dance for this song. I would still see the dance from Abracabra, what about you guys? What would come to mind first when you see the dance, Psy or Brown Eyed Girls?
17. I Got a Boy - Girls' Generation
When I first watched the teaser- oh wow this is going to be amazing
After watching the music video and hearing the full song - what did I listen to?
The different parts of the songs really confused me at first but after searching up the English translations I realised that it was from different perspectives of a relationship hence the music change. My favourite part of the song is the first part and Tiffany and Taeyeon solo part with the mic stand towards the end of the song, however I do wish SM would stop making them rap, they're not rappers. They are singers!!
16. Shadow - Beast
I love this song when it was first released but then I stopped listening to it for a few months but over the last month I've gone back to it. Maybe the fact that I saw them in Myeongdong whilst they were promoting this. Junhyung <3
15. This Love - Shinhwa
This really cheered me up as it was released during my exam period so I would listen to it to relax. I wasn't so fond of this at the start but the more I listened to it the more I loved it, same applies to the dance, also I was so happy that Shinhwa won 6 times this comeback
14. Everybody - Shinee
I was not expecting another comeback after Why So Serious so I was over the moon when I saw the teaser for this in my subscription box on Youtube. Definitely one of the best videos and dance routines. And can I say I agree with SimonandMartina that Shinee are not boys anymore but men, Taeman <3
13. U & I - Ailee
Absoultely loved this when it was released but it isn't that high on the list as I haven't really listened to it recently. I love Ailee's voice, one word amazing. Her songs are also always amazing, This song was literally played everywhere when I was in Korea.
12. Rum Pum Pum Pum - f(x)
So happy f(x) made a comeback this year but I demand more, was hoping there was going to be a follow up but like last year only one title song. :( What made me love this song more was that it was playing when I was in Korea so that made it extra special. Plus love Sulli's look and was wowed by Krystal's red hair, plus Luna looks amazing with black hair. Victoria and Amber also never fail to impress with their charm and beauty. And how come "f(x)" is not in the title of the videos nowadays just the hangul?
11. Bar Bar Bar - Crayon Pop
Definitely the funniest song of the year. This is cute, engergetic and within the first time listening to it I found myself singing along to it "Jumping, yeah jumping, yeah everybody" the funny English never fail to make me laugh
10. One Shot - B.A.P
My favourite song from B.A.P. Loving Bang Yong Guk's Rap and the dance is just amazing. Also loved the twist in the music video, it was definitely unexpected.
9. Destiny - Infinite
I thought I wasn't going to have a song I liked this year from Infinite because Man In Love wasn't my cup of tea but just a week before leaving for my summer holiday to go abroad Destiny was released and was a definite hit and I have grown to love it even more was that this was another song I heard when I was in Korea.
8. Ringa Linga - Taeyang
Even though I wouldn't class myself as a VIP but I have listened to all of the Big Bang's solo songs this has to be my favourite. This was another pleasant surprise this year as this is so different from his previous songs such as Wedding Dress and I Need A Girl. Plus Taeyang looks amazing with his white blonde hair :)
7. Expectation / Expect Me - Girl's Day
This is my favourite Girl's Day song so far. Btw they're making their comeback soon, just watched the teaser, it's seems like another good song :)
This new concept surprised me at first as I had always associated cuteness with Girl's Day but seeing their dramactic change also proved that they are talented and can portray different concepts well. This was another song that I listened to the first time and fell in love with it.
6. NoNoNo - APink
I'm not usually one that likes cutie songs but this one quickly became my favourite after hearing it a few times. It's such a colourful music video with catchy song that cheers me up every time I listen to it.
5. Give It To Me - Sistar
I have like every single title song by Sistar since So Cool and they have quickly become one of my favourite kpop groups. The music video though seemed a bit though.
4. Growl - Exo
Ok, I can tell you in advance that this is the only song by a male group that made it into my top 5. So Growl is definitely the best Exo song so far. But it was only the last week of December aka this week that I have been obsessed with this song. Don't hit me exotics. It's catchy and it's not weird like some of their previous songs (I'm talking about Mama and Wolf)
3. Hush - MissA
Even though this was a JYP creation, this did not disappoint. I love this song, it's catchy, it's sexy and also each MissA member could show off their voice. The music video was also interesting to watch as it presented different sides of women. This song has also become my third favourite song by MissA so far. Also possibly one of their best comebacks as well.
2. Number 9 - T-ara
This song is composed by Shinsadong Tiger, who also created other T-ara hits including Bo Peep Bo Peep, Roly Poly, Lovey Dovey and Sexy Love, also known as some of my favourite kpop songs as they are catchy and are these songs that made me become a fan. So without doubt I knew I was going to love this song as hearing the teaser and that was what happened. Also being a makeup lover I can not not mention about their makeup in this video, it's absolutely gorgeous. I probably listened to this song at least three times everyday when this song first came out. I even got locked out of my room because I was checking how loud I had it! Oh, that was embarrassing... :(
1. 24 Hours - Sunmi
I adore this song. Loved it the first time I heard it. This song is definitely first place in my books as it is probably the most replayed song both on my ipod and Youtube browsings. I listen to this song probably at least once a day, yeah I'm addicted ! lol. The dance has to be one of the most recognisable of the year. Everything just goes together so well. The dance, hair, outfit, song. Even though the song may remind some of MissA Touch but it that also means that it has the vibe of JYP. This was a surprise as I always knew that Sunmi was going to be back and this song really exceeded my expectation. It's so different from her Wondergirls day, it's definitely a success in my books. Have I mentioned how catchy this song is yet?
There are definitely a lot more songs that I have liked this year but I just couldn't fit them in and didn't really want to write with like 100 songs (it would be too long!) and some or the ranking of the songs are a little bit vague it was a bit different depending the time of the year but I have decided it to be like this.
And once again thank you for reading my blog and Happy New Year!
