Annyeong haseyo, oppa-deul and unnies!
Welcome back to another edition of the...
August, August, August.
After the dry spell that was July, the K-Pop gods and goddesses have heard our most ardent prayers and gave us quality comeback after quality comeback. Seriously, there is A LOT to enjoy this month. From K-Pop heavyweights like Sunmi and Red Velvet to rising boy groups like TXT, ONF and CIX to soloists like Somi and Ha Sung Woon, there's truly something for everyone! And in a few days' time, we'll also receive new offerings from the likes of Brave Girls, Kwon Eun Bi, CL, Stray Kids, VERIVERY... the list goes on!
I can't wait for this month's charts. Let the mess begin.
1. Send a PM that contains a ballot of your 10 favourite songs and 3 to 10 favourite albums to @Slice of Life. Kindly rank these songs and albums too.
2. The songs and albums should have been released on or before the last day of the month. For example, you cannot vote for a song released on September 2021 for the August 2021 edition of the K-Popjustice Charts.
3. The songs and albums you're voting for should be what you've been listening to in the past month.
4. The songs can be singles, album tracks, or whatever as long as it is released by a K-Pop artist in whatever language. Specify whether you're voting for the original, remix, or Japanese/Chinese/English/etc version of a song since they are counted separately.
5. You can only vote for songs released by non-K-Pop artists if it features a K-Pop artist (e.g. Lady Gaga's Sour Candy which features BLACKPINK).
6. The albums can be full length, mini album, or single album as long as it includes a minimum of three songs that are not instrumentals, remixes, intros, outros, and interludes. A repackage album is considered a different album if it contains at least three new songs (e.g. LOOΠΔ's [X X] is considered a different album from [+ +]).
7. Your favourite song/album gets 10 points, scaling all the way down to 1 point.
8. The total points earned builds the chart.
9. Ties are broken by number of voters, then by quality of votes received, and are left as a tie if we still can't break parity.
10. Commentary is highly appreciated but not mandatory.
11. An album or song must earn at least 10 points and must be voted by a minimum of two voters to chart.
12. Your ballot cannot be made up of more than 50% of songs and albums of just one artist.
13. The top five songs each month make the 2021 K-Pop Song of the Year Rate.
14. Accept Shaman Unnie as the one true Kween of Pop.
