It's time... for KPB's first comeback!


sookai-hug.gif




The rookie rate is all grown up ; u ;
Are you guys excited? You better be!!!



2021 was a really great year for male groups and soloists. Despite the still ongoing pancetta, it feels like a lot of our boys took things to the next level in terms of not only commercial success, but also musical quality and critical acclaim. So let's once again join forces to celebrate these efforts, kii and cackle, and crown the greatest song among many great songs!

For this year's rate, things are more streamlined and well-oiled. Instead of basing the song list on commercial success and voting polls sent to your inboxes, like the first edition, we are simply using our home-grown KPJ charts ran by @Slice of Life. The 42 songs that got the most points formed the base for the list, and 24 more songs were submitted as "Boy Boosts" over the course of the last month, for a grand total of 66 songs.



...And this year, we have a gimmick twist!

Inspired by trading card games and RPGs,
I divided the song list into 3 thematic teams:

Fairy x Hero x Monster


· Choose one Team to pledge allegiance to when sending me your ballot.

· At the end of the rate I will reveal which Team achieved the highest average score.

· The results will influence next year's Boy Boost submission process:

The first half of slots will be reserved for members of the winning Team.
The next quarter will be available for members of the winning Team, as well as members of the 2nd place Team.
The last quarter of slots will be free for all.


Now, you can choose a Team based on your favorite aesthetics just for fun, or try to go for the one will think is likely to win. I divided them very carefully, balancing each team's chart points, and they all have an equal number of KPJ #1's (among boys) and Boy Boost submissions, so it's definitely anyone's game!



With that out of the way, voting is now officially open!


PLEASE PARTICIPATE! ♡


DEADLINE:

Votes are due March 15th

1. There are exactly 66 songs to be rated, and all of them are obligatory.
One listen of the entire playlist takes 3 hours and 40 minutes, so please try not to leave your listening sessions for too close to the deadline, specially considering that you should be making an effort to listen to everything at least a handful of times before scoring. Watch MVs, stages, give growers the chance to grow on you!


2.
Rate each song on a scale from 0 to 10. Your favorite song is allowed a score of 11 points.
Half-points and quarter-points (0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75) are allowed. Do NOT rate "on a scale", judge each song in isolation. Ideally I'd like everyone to base their ratings on this, but that's optional:

3. Any voter with a total rate average below 6.00 will likely have their ballot discarded.
This rate is both for people that already enjoy male artists as well as people that aren't super familiar but would like to get into them more. But if you find yourself disliking most songs, or trolling, then there isn't much of a point in participating, is there?


4. After you finish your scores, send them to me via PM.
You can send them in text form by pasting from the list provided in the post below this one. Please use the provided order so as to make your dear host's life easier!
If you wanna be even more lovely, send me a spreadsheet link instead ♡
And don't forget to say which team you will pledge allegiance to!


5. Please try to send commentary for your 11! Let me know why you love it so much.
Commentary for non-11 songs is also allowed, but keep them relatively short, I’d like y’all to save those thoughts for the thread fff I will also request commentary explanation for any songs you scored lower than 4.

To the person who got TO1's Son of Beast into this rate...



And The Boyz must be in their Seventeen era (big-but-mild) if they had such a strong year commercially but are nowhere to be seen here, eek.

Ditto Monsta X.
However their best release was English

There's also Eric Nam


I wasn't sure if English was wholeheartedly the KPop boys rate so I didn't think about them.
Having said that before voting I'm team Monsta, but as stated, the favourites are spread.
