Flashback Friday

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Hey party people, happy Friday! Every week I go through the charts for this day in the past and share 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 in August, 2015. A nice mix of songs this week.



#3 Girls’ Generation “Party”
This was the first of three singles that the girls would release in the summer of ’15. The song would debut at the top spot, and it would also peak in the top ten on the charts in Japan. Not one of my personal fav songs from them, but I really liked the styling this era. I thought they all were so cute! Here’s their comeback stage at M Countdown.

#2 Super Junior “Devil”
I have never seen the video before, but I remember this song because the main actress in the video was only like 14 or 15 and everyone was like what the fuck. This was the single from the album of the same name. It featured the return of Yesung from military service. For the opposite reason, it marked the first release without Shindong and Sungmin. It was also Kangmin’s final release with the group. They would perform it live for the first time a few days after its release at their Super Show concert.

#1 Apink “Remember”
This was the title song from the group’s second full album, “Pink Memory”. They would follow up this release with a concert and their debut Japanese album. Busy summer for the girls. Here’s their Music Core comeback. I loved the cute, nautical styling this era too. The only part of the choreo that I remember is when they look like their drawing lines in the sand.

Honorable Mentions

#5 Zion.T “Yanghwa Bridge”
You know this song. It’s that one Zion.T song that everyone has covered lol. This was actually his hit digital single that he released in the fall of 2014. But it’s back on the charts again here, and I suspect it has something to do with the fact that he appeared on Infinite Challenge’s Song Festival this summer. Not only did the songs from the festival chart, but other songs from the artists as well.

#6 Infinite “Bad”
I’ve never seen the MV before, but I do know the song. This was the lead track from the EP “Reality”. The song would peak at the #6 spot and would win 6 music show wins. The group would follow up their promotions of the song with a world tour. So many summer concerts this year! I miss concerts.

I miss INFINITE and I miss this period in KPOP :/ i'm getting old, gang!

I miss infinite too! Their performances of bad at the music show gayo's were so good.

Party is Soshi's worst single but has good styling. I love Sunny's red hair and the girls actually being tan for a summer song!

I did not like party when it first came out, but I am more okay with it now. Definitely one of my least favorite title tracks from them...I also did not like holiday or all night.

All Night was listenable but Party......my biggest OOF

[sweetestbliss1.livejournal.com]

Party has some catchy parts, but is not a song I would think of and say "I want to listen to this." All night didn't seem like title track material to me and was forgettable. So was holiday. Those three are the weakest title tracks and their last album was just plain boring. :(

I know everyone rags on party and that it’s not a good song for SNSD but I still love it 😭 even my brother whos not into kpop at all loves it!!

Remember is such a bop too. Apink were really killing it in their heyday.

I was listening to Party the other dayand remembering how much people hate it lmao. I agree though, its a fun song! Not grammy worthy but silly and cute and thats all I need.

Party and Remember are great summer songs, summer 2015 was so good!!

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

I did not know the actress was 14/15 ://

Just listened to the original of Yanghwa for the first time, and the first time I've read the lyrics. Now I see why it was covered so much

[myungung.livejournal.com]

party and remember were fun songs, but sadly not the best songs they've had. the hook for party was definitely there, and the MV is pretty, but song wise it was so lacklustre for a "comeback" post 930.

Remember had Bomi's hair fried as hell, even though the pink was nice. the starting part is my fave, but it just felt so much like their past 3 titles before that apink kind of felt predictable

I only remember Party and Remember and I hate the latter.

[921227.livejournal.com]

I liked Party! It was fun and summery and the members looked so good. Yoonas blonde hair 😍

I know the chorus to Remember, but not anything else???

Bad sounds so good even still! A lot of Infinite's music sounds good bc they didn't really fall into the trens music trap

14/15?? 🤢

[sweetestbliss1.livejournal.com]

Bad was such a great song. I mentioned this above already, but their end of the year performances of that song at the gayo's were 🔥

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

Maybe I was the only one who loved Party? I thought it was one of their best singles and had it on repeat the WHOLE year after it came out.

*quietly raises hand*

I'm not even a SNSD fan at all and that song is still on my summer playlists. I didn't even know people didn't like it lol

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

Bad is the only Infinite song I know but it's such a good one

I loved Yanghwa Daegyo until it was everywhere all the time always and now I never need to listen to it again in my life

[sweetestbliss1.livejournal.com]

Infinite has great title tracks (minus Tell Me). You should listen to them! Give "the eye" a try!

Party is so cute and reminds me of one my best vacations ❤️ But also reminds me how my music choices differs from omona often since I know you guys really like the Rum Pum Pum or whatever song from f(x) and it does nothing for me lol.
