2019 has been an amazing year already for kpop fans all over with many groups, old and new, releasing so much good music, but these ten songs have taken over not only music charts but my heart as well.

 

  • Chungha,  Gotta Go

 

Chungha starts the list with this gem of a song titled Gotta Go and even topped BillBoard Korean charts leaving the song at number one for several weeks. This concept was way different from what she has put out in the past and it remains my current favorite song.

The new JYP girl group,ITZY,  made their debut with their song DALLA DALLA this Sunday (Feb10) and even made a YouTube record for 14 million views in 24 hours for a debut song. The song gives off a fiesty and energetic vibe with quick shift tempos including genres such as  hip-hop breakdowns appearing throughout the song.

The 13 member released their EP You Make My Dawn with the title track song ‘Home’ on (January 21st). The songs “expresses the desire to present comfort to a loved one who has brightened the day when one was still in darkness.” Everything about this song is amazing, the message, visuals and video are what put it at number four on my list.

ATEEZ managed to get back on list after releasing their music video for Say My Name. The group’s song displays ATEEZ’S signature bass drops, soaring vocals and fiery rap all into an equal proportion.

9.ONEUS, Valkyrie

ONEUS is a new rookie kpop group that just debuted on January 9th. The group’s dark dynamic concept managed to catch my attention. The song gives a very fun ‘EDM/pop’ feel and it leaving fans and myself very excited for the group and future music they will be releasing.

 

  1. ASTRO, All Night

And last but certainly not least, ASTRO ends the list with their song All Night. After being gone for a year these boys ditched their cute concept for a more seductive look. The group pulls off the soulful dance track and music video’s elegant fairy concept so well.
