And just missing the top 5 is... I wanna say it was a close fight but to be honest, it never came close to reaching the top 5 shgfsdhgfjsdhfgjsdh 6 RIGHT THROUGH ME DAY6 (Even of Day) from the Right Through Me mini album JYP Entertainment / Studio J 92 points Last Month's Position: N/A Peak Position: 6 Months on Chart: 1 Voters: 10 - @Love Deluxe, @vague, @Slice of Life FFFFF TEAM TALENT! 9 - @Monkey0, @Deja-Boo 8 - @eccentricsimply 7 - @nikkysan 6 - @Glitterizer, @BeingNormal 4 - @boombazookajoe, @Sanctuary, @Cotton Park 3 - @Overdose 2 - @Music Is Death Earning their second top 10 KPJC hit is DAY6 (Even of Day) with their second single, Right Through Me. For the uninitiated, DAY6 (Even of Day) is DAY6's first official subunit and they debuted last year with Where The Sea Sleeps. That song ranked 10th on our chart and now they achieved a higher peak for Right Through Me. We love character development! I think Right Through Me is a lot more accessible for the typical bop-loving KPJ crowd so please check it out! It's an emotional bop!
5 SUMMERTIME HA:TFELT (feat. Keem Hyoeun) from the Summertime single album Amoeba Culture 123 points Last Month's Position: N/A Peak Position: 5 Months on Chart: 1 Voters: 10 - @codecat, @eliminathan, @Serg. 9 - @aux 8 - @Love Deluxe, @Deja-Boo 7 - @Luck, @Oleander, @Vixen, @BEST FICTION, @Cotton Park 6 - @TéléDex, @Sanctuary 4 - @RUNAWAY, @vague, @chrisjche 3 - @Crisp X, @soratami 2 - @ohnostalgia 1 - @savilizabeths And earning her very first (!!!) KPJC top 5 song is HA:TFELT with her new single, Summertime, which features Keem Hyoeun. It's so crazy to me that she debuted on KPJC back in October 2017 with double singles, I Wander (ranked 6th) and Read Me (ranked 18th) and yet this is only her first top 5. You suffered, unnie! Anyway, yes, let's talk about Summertime. As usual, I didn't really like this on my first few listens fffffff. But it's been a few days now that I've been finding myself singing this fffff. So I guess I'm a fan now. Like the title says, it's really a song made for the summertime. Can't wait to listen to this on my next summer getaway........................... yeah, let's not talk about that.
4 PERFECT WORLD Twice from the Perfect World album JYP Entertainment / Warner Music Japan 143 points Last Month's Position: 6 Peak Position: 4 Months on Chart: 2 Voters: 10 - @thommyh, @evilsin, @BeingNormal, @BEST FICTION, @Music Is Death 9 - @eatyourself, @codecat, @Serg. 8 - @ryjm, @GeiPanda, @Oleander 7 - @Salami 6 - @junglefish, @eliminathan 3 - @RUNAWAY, @boombazookajoe, @SloMover, @PopZeitgeist, @nikkysan, @Vixen 2 - @cakeboy, @aux 1 - @Glitterizer Making the leap to the top 5 after finishing 6th last month is Twice's latest Japanese single, Perfect World. And I say, well-deserved! I have completely fallen in love with this song now. I mean, that chorus... the definition of cunty. Twice really said "get out, get lost" to the competition.
Our third placer is... 3 BECAUSE Dreamcatcher from the [Summer Holiday] mini album Dreamcatcher Company 148 points Last Month's Position: N/A Peak Position: 3 Months on Chart: 1 Voters: 9 - @ultraviolet, @GeiPanda, @Salami, @nikkysan, @soratami, @Oleander, @ohnostalgia, @savilizabeths 8 - @junglefish, @Monkey0, @SloMover, @aux 7 - @Wills, @TéléDex 6 - @Luck, @Serg. 4 - @Trinu 3.0 3 - @ryjm, @KimLippington, @He 2 - @vague, @BeingNormal 1 - @eliminathan Ranking third even without getting any 10-points votes? Legendarique! Dreamcatcher are back on our song chart for the second time this year with their latest single, BEcause. For a summer single, this honestly doesn't sound that different from their usual singles... which is my biggest gripe of the song. But other than that, I think BEcause is great and definitely better than Dreamcatcher's two previous Korean singles, Boca and Odd Eye. Yes, I'm still a Boca hater, please leave me alone! I really hope BEcause is the start of another series of great Dreamcatcher singles. nikkysan: A MUCH NEEDED switch up from the last couple comebacks! Not that I don't love their full on rock songs, but Boca and Odd Eye were showing signs that they were starting to stagnate. Leaning into their electronic sound usually reserved for their b-sides was refreshing, and I hope they continue in this direction.
And our lovely second placer... 2 TEAR DROP SF9 from the Turn Over mini album FNC Entertainment 157 points Last Month's Position: N/A Peak Position: 2 Months on Chart: 1 Voters: 10 - @chrisjche, @PopZeitgeist, @Overdose 9 - @drod93, @ryjm, @BeingNormal 8 - @eatyourself, @nikkysan, @soratami, @Wills, @BEST FICTION 7 - @Glitterizer, @FunkyButChic, @eliminathan 6 - @vague, @Slice of Life 5 - @ohnostalgia, @Music Is Death, @Sanctuary 4 - @cakeboy 3 - @Salami 2 - @Crisp X, @KimLippington 1 - @Deja-Boo SCREAM!!! I honestly didn't think Tear Drop would do this well??? What the fuck. I thought y'all weren't stanning this enough which kinda made me sad, not gonna lie. But hey, SF9 scores another top 5 hit with their new single, Tea Drop! Kings! SF9 have become one of the most consistent K-Pop groups with their singles and Tear Drop is no different. It sounds luxurious and sultry... just the way I like it. And honestly, I think the production on Tear Drop is possibly SF9's best yet. For some odd reason, it sounds like a production for a girl group song to me, like Lovelyz fffffff. Anyway, I love Tear Drop and I'm so happy y'all love it too! Now here's some more Yoo Taeyang gifs I snatched from Twitter to bless y'all today: nikkysan: Now Rowoon is my bias, but watching the live stages for this song... Taeyang moving his body like that should be illegal, jesus christ... Also the song is brilliant, quietly their best work since their magnum opus Now or Never. (SOL: STAY AWAY FROM MY YOO TAEYANG!!!!) Overdose: I'm continually amazed by these boys, this track is the slinkier follow up to 'Now Or Never' that I've been waiting for!
And of course, there's no other winner but... 1 WEEKEND Taeyeon from the Weekend single album SM Entertainment 254 points Last Month's Position: N/A Peak Position: 1 Months on Chart: 1 Voters: 10 - @RUNAWAY, @ohdenny, @SloMover, @aux, @An Insider, @Island, @Salami, @Oleander, @Vixen, @ohnostalgia, @Trinu 3.0, @savilizabeths 9 - @evilsin, @boombazookajoe, @Crisp X, @ysev, @TéléDex 8 - @chrisjche, @Music Is Death 7 - @thommyh, @drod93, @eccentricsimply, @KimLippington, @soratami 6 - @ultraviolet, @GeiPanda, @Empty Shoebox 5 - @Ana Raquel, @He 4 - @PopZeitgeist 3 - @BEST FICTION 2 - @Deja-Boo 1 - @Slice of Life Earning her second KPJC number 1 song is Taeyeon with her new single, the summery Weekend. Congratulations, unnie! A well-deserved win if I may say so myself. Keke. Weekend is Taeyeon's take on the Doja Cat sound and honestly, she slays this concept. The good unnie even rapped! And let's be real, I just love to hear Taeyeon on a more fun song. Not that I don't stan her emotional songs (because I do), but it's nice to be reminded of Popstar Taeyeon once in a while. Once again, I wasn't the biggest fan of Weekend on my first few listens. I knew it was good but I wasn't sure if it was that good. Turns out it was indeed that good. I hope I don't overplay this song though because I have a feeling I would ffffff. It's such an easy listen that I want to listen to it over and over again!
For such a dry month, this is actually a pretty fantastic top 5. Yeah it includes a June song but we're not gonna talk about that.
I really didn’t expect Taeyeon to take it! Also yesss @Slice of Life Boca-hater brigade! You get me I get you.
Glad to see Taeyeon win, and ‘Perfect World’ getting its rightful place in the KSOTY rate without any need for superslutating it…. Talent me thinks!
