This is weird list but I'm here for SKZs getting recognition for taking some risks in their song production.

1) wow this list is a sausage fest.
2) i wouldn't put "fun!" on a "best songs of 2019" list. and i say that as someone who actually likes that song, lmao.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

well APINK and ACE not being forgotten is great.

I don't know who the fuck keeps making these "best of" kpop lists for major western publications like pitchfork/dazed/billboard/buzzfeed, but they're never actual comprehensive lists, just whatever songs the writer happened to like plus some token entries from groups they feel like they have to include to not piss fans off.

Would it hurt these writers to listen to some more girlgroups? I sure as hell don't listen to boygroups but if I were paid to put up a list like this you can bet I'd listen to as many acts as possible to cover a wide range.

I appreciate the inclusion of Oneus, Astro and ACE.

rme @ this & 99.9% of all these ~lists~

keep gettin those clicks tho ig

[yuwkon.livejournal.com]

yes for clc's no making it to the list! dreamcatcher's deja vu should be in this list.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

This is a terrible list wtf

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

No GOT7, no YCMN, invalid.

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

skz at #1 is... unexpected. i agree with follow eung eung no obsession and dalla dalla at least. fancy was the bigger song but i'd choose feel special over it

[nefertitii.livejournal.com]

too many boy groups. stray kidz and txt at 1 and 2? lol

[paige-nevaeh.livejournal.com]

Glad that EungEung & No are on the list! Two of my own personal faves from this year.

[gdithero.livejournal.com]

ok so the writer prefers noise

[hallyujah.livejournal.com]

LOVE that TXT is at #2 lol but kinda surprised there's no Gogobebe or Twit, Hwasa was robbed

[ohmylol.livejournal.com]

I like Obsession, Superhuman , Follow and Jopping from that list but also I haven't heard most of those songs lol

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

We get it writer you stan boy groups only but had an obligation to include girl groups so you threw in random songs like...Fun really...

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Like they couldn’t even include Icy on the list but threw in Dalla Dalla wtf

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

I like A.C.E but I think Savage is better than Undercover. Also like everyone said, this is boygroup heavy. I can't say I know everyone but Mamamoo missing is interesting. I love Fancy so I'm glad it's top 5. TXT shouldn't be on this list.

[alissee.livejournal.com]

No idea how I missed this post, but I'm just here to celebrate Stray Kids and Ateez, yay!
'Side effects' really is the song of the year for me.
