Earlier this week, Melon started a countdown of the 100 best kpop songs! The 100 songs were picked out of 1,120 picks by a board of 35 critics and/or industry professionals. On Melon's write-up it says the criteria was based on the popularity, creativity, influence, significance, and performances of the songs picked... that includes the virality for the some of the newer songs definitely, too. You can check the yearly breakdown here. Below is a (nearly) full playlist! It's 97 songs, excluding “와 (WA)” by Lee Jung Hyun (entry 22), “U-Go-Girl” by Lee Hyori (entry 41) and “초대 (Invitation)” by Uhm Jung Hwa (entry 67).

BTS Discusses Goals For Their Comeback And New Album “Love Yourself: Her”


The members of BTS held a press conference on September 18 and honestly opened up about their goals for their new album “Love Yourself: Her.”

When asked how they felt when they heard that stock pre-orders for their new album had surpassed over 1 million copies, BTS expressed their delight and gratitude as they said, “We were so surprised when we heard the number. For our last album, we recorded stock pre-orders of 700,000 copies, and we were so grateful to our fans for that. We were hoping to get around 800,000 stock pre-orders for this album, and we were surprised by the actual number. We see this achievement as our fans’ way of showing their love and trust for us.”

BTS has been steadily doing well on overseas charts, including getting four consecutive albums on the Billboard 200 chart. When asked what their goal is for the new album, the members stated, “We agreed that our goal is to get in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It isn’t easy because you need to sell lots of albums, have your music streamed a lot, and have your songs played on the radio. We weren’t sure if we could do it with this album, but thankfully, more U.S. radio stations are taking an interest in our music. We hope we get in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. With all of the interest and anticipation for our new album, it’s something that we really want to achieve.”

They concluded with, “We really want our album to top the album charts. We hope our songs are loved.”

Good morning! I’m going back to bed after I post this! Anyways, on to Flashback Friday! I check out different charts for this Friday in a past year and post the top three. Then, I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, the ladies take four of the five spots, and three of those are solos acts, yay ladies! Let’s see what was on the charts for the 1st Friday in August, 2008.

I’ve never been a fan, so this song doesn’t sound familiar to me at all. But I think I’ve seen the MV before, it’s so pretty…and also serving me up some Ancient Aliens realness lol.
