Flashback Friday

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

It’s Friday! Every week I check the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, we are going back to see what we were listening to in the 2nd week of March, 2015. Duos take the honorable mentions this week. I try to work in a little theme whenever I can.



#3 4Minute “Crazy”
I always feel like I’m in the minority when I say I didn’t really like this song, because everyone seems to love it lol. This is the lead single from the EP of the same name. I remember bits and pieces from this era. Like I think one of them was in charge of styling this era? Anyone else remember that? The song would peak at #3 on the charts, and win 7 music show trophies. It would end up the group’s last big hit song.

#2 Naul “You From The Same Time”
I’m sure I’ve posted this MV before, because when you put type this in to YouTube you get this music video and like a hundred thousand covers. So many people cover this song lol! This was a solo song from Naul for his group’s “Brown Eyed Soul Single Project”, an EP filled with solos from each member of the group. The music video stars actor Yoo Seung Ho.

#1 Niel featuring Dok2 “Lovekiller”
This was his debut solo single, and the first single from his EP “oNIELy”. Was he the first Teen Top member to have a solo release? I don't remember this at all. The MV features former Teen Top member L.Joe.

Honorable Mentions


#5 Zion.T & Crush “Just”
This collaboration between the two would debut at the top spot on the charts. And of course it did, it’s so good. Perhaps it’s on my “bathtub and chill” playlist. This was the only song from their joint EP “Young”.The song would win best collaboration at MAMA that year.

#9 15& featuring Kanto “Love Is Madness”
This was the duo’s last song together. After this release, they would go into a 4 year hiatus, ending in 2019 with their contracts expiring. I don’t remember an official disbandment announcement from JYPE? Just both of them leaving. The song did well though, it would peak at #2. It features the vocals of Kanto from Troy. Here's the live MV.

Crazy was so iconic, I remember this was when Cube said they were going to drop 4Minute if Crazy failed. So wild how successful this song was. I think also just the whole strong women/ "I don't give a shit" attitude/vibe was really on the rise so everyone ate this song up. I think I only enjoy the song live though, the adlibs from Hyuna and Jiyoon make or break the song imo. Either way the girls were hot and Jihyun was finally getting love rather than hate so I was all there for it even though I wasn't really a 4nia
