The Best Kpop Songs Of The Last 10 Years

October 15, 2019 By ThisBlogRules Leave a Comment

korean artists performing on stage

For many Americans, our first introduction into the multidimensional world of K-Pop began with Psy’s “Gangnam Style”, a catchy pop-centric rap with a hook line that made the song go viral. But with BTS finishing an arena world tour with two 2019 Billboard Music Awards under their belt, and TWICE announcing a world tour with dates in America, it’s hard to deny that the popularity of K-Pop is ever on the rise in the music industry. If you’re new to K-pop, you might be looking for the best KPop songs to get a better understanding of the genre.

Buckle in and prepare yourself for a crash course in K-pop. We’ll talk everything K-Pop, including the biggest artists, the history makers, and the best KPop songs you should be listening to.

K-Pop FAQ

 K-Pop is a twenty year old industry that has only recently begun making significant strides in the global market – so there’s a lot of history to catch up on to understand the entire evolution of the genre. We’ve gathered the most common questions and answers here!

1. What Is K-Pop?

A lot of people want to point at K-pop and say, “Well, obviously it’s pop music,” or “K-pop is a separate genre of music.” But the real answer is that both of these statements are both true and false. K-pop is popular music in Korea, but it’s different from what Americans would think of as pop music since there are many sub-genres. The truth is that you can’t stuff K-pop into a neat box.

What is K-pop then? Min Yoongi of BTS probably said it best when he called K-pop “integrated content”. K-pop incorporates the music, the music videos, the fashion, and the personalities and talents of each artist. Albums in K-pop tend to be highly conceptualized, and K-pop music videos are characterized by intense visual stories. More than any other music industry, K-Pop sells the entire concept of the artist as a whole – their musical ability, their dancing ability, and their personality are all part of the streamlined K-Pop package.

2. What Is K-Pop Music Like?

K-Pop music has its roots in pop music – songs with upbeat tempos and catchy choruses. However, each K-Pop artist puts a new spin on pop music. K-Pop songs often include rap, R&B, and trap music. K-Pop music has also explored alternative rock, hip-hop, EDM, and ballads. The sub-genres in K-Pop make the distinction between K-Pop artists very unique. You can think of K-Pop as the ultimate portmanteau of music around the globe.

3. Are There K-pop Collaborations?

K-Pop collaborations with other popular global artists is actually a relatively new thing. The most famous recent collaborations have all been done by the reigning popular artists in K-Pop, like BTS, who have worked with Halsey, Charlie XCX, and Lil Nas.

4. Who Are the Biggest K-Pop Artists?

The biggest artists in K-Pop include BTS, EXO, BlackPink, Girls’ Generation, TWICE, Red Velvet, GOT7, Seventeen, Big Bang, SNSD, Super Junior, and SHINee. These are the artists currently topping the K-Pop and international music charts and the artists that have had the biggest impact on the K-Pop music industry. Many K-Pop fans say that K-Pop wouldn’t be as popular today if not for artists like Big Bang or Super Junior.

5. Are There Any English K-Pop Songs?

Yes and no. K-Pop music is primarily in Korean. However, many K-Pop songs feature a few English phrases. The popularity of using English in K-Pop music has led to the popular rise of Konglish, which is a combination of Korean and English. That said, finding a K-Pop song that is completely in English is difficult, although some groups like BlackPink feature entire rap verses in English.

6. Why Should I Listen to Music I Can’t Understand?

Many fans of K-Pop make the argument that music is universal – you don’t necessarily need to know the lyrics of a song to understand the emotions or the meaning portrayed by the artists. This is especially true when the song has a music video, which tells the visual story of the song and makes the meaning of the song accessible to international fans.

However, it isn’t difficult to find translations of Korean lyrics if you as a listener are adamant about understanding the meaning of the song.

How We Reviewed

 In creating this list of the Best Kpop Songs of the Last 10 Years, we went through an extensive and truly impressive list of K-Pop artists to find the songs that made the biggest splash in the industry. We were looking for chart-toppers and record breakers. We also tried to evaluate based on the objective popularity of the artists to make the list fair.

Overall Price Range

Like any other music, you can buy K-Pop songs individually or by the album. Both individual songs and albums are comparable in price to their Western counterpoints. A single track will run you about $1 to $2, while an entire album is between $15 and $30. It should be noted that K-Pop albums tend to include posters, picture books, and other small items like mirrors or key chains. You also have the option of purchasing mini albums or EPs, which run about from $4 to $6.

The Verdict

Picking the best song is a matter of personal taste – maybe you’re a fan of rap-heavy hip-hop or maybe you lean more toward R&B. Maybe you look at this list and listen to these songs and can’t decide which song is best. When it comes to K-Pop, the simple truth is that you will like what you like. But our favorite? Definitely “Hello.”

Our list of The Best Kpop Songs of the Last 10 years might feature the most popular chart-toppers, but there are hundreds of more songs made by dozens of K-Pop artists in the last decade that could have also made this list. The entire “integrated content” genre of music is so expansive that picking the best Kpop songs is a big ask for any dedicated fan of K-Pop music.

You might find it easier to start with the most popular artists of the moment, like BTS and TWICE, or you might start with the K-Pop groundbreakers, like Big Bang and Super Junior. Either way, new and old fans of K-Pop have a lot to look forward to as the genre enters a new decade of content production. We’re looking forward to making another list of the best Kpop songs ten years down the line!

There is a reason why you hear Christmas songs endlessly in every store from mid-November until New Year’s Day. People spend more money when they hear them! It’s a proven fact. That is why you are going to continue to hear these songs in every public place you visit for at least six weeks each year. Merry Christmas, I guess.

To break up the constant music being shoved down your throat, we wanted to inject a little humor. Below are the top 10 funny Christmas songs, in our humble opinion. These are ones you probably don’t hear every time you walk into a Walmart. Thank God.

What Makes a Christmas Song Funny?

The creators of these songs use a variety of methods to create them. Some are simply newer versions of old favorites. Some are original creations. Many of them, as you will see, are parodies of classics.

Some of the best campfire songs are the ones that reflect your cultural identity. The beautiful thing about campfires is the fact that you get to connect with those around you in a way that is unique to you and your family and friends. If you come from a different cultural background, then be sure to bring along some tunes that you know and love. After all, singing along around the campfire means connecting with yourself and those around you in a true manner.

The 8 Catchiest Songs That We Can’t Stop Humming

October 31, 2016 By Toby Isaacson Leave a Comment

Do you ever have that random moment of boredom during the day when a song just randomly pops up in your head? Chances are the track is among the catchiest songs ever, so you’re definitely not alone, don’t worry.

Whether we hate to hate them or love to hate them, some songs just won’t stop bugging you after you hear them for the first time. Sometimes it doesn’t even matter if it’s a downright annoying and terrible song. There’s SOMETHING about it that’s haunting you. Does anyone remember Rebecca Black’s Friday? On the other hand, a song can quickly become annoying specifically because it follows you around like your own shadow.

Justin Bieber: Singer of One of the Catchiest Songs

Through deep and thorough research, we’ve compiled a list with the catchiest songs ever. Do any of them make their way into your thoughts?

#1 “Call Me Maybe” – Carly Rae Jepsen

What is it about Carly Rae Jepsen and her sickeningly adorable songs that stick to you like glue? We know there are plenty of people who “really, really, really, really, really you” but Jepsen’s worst creation is Call Me Maybe. It’s a cute song, but just reading the title is basically an invitation for it to stick around your head for a while.

#2 “Single Ladies” – Beyoncé

It’s been years since Single Ladies was released (and since it laid the foundation for Kanye/Taylor drama) but it’s continuing to ruin lives even today. The rhythm of the song is catchy, the lyrics are simple and basic… that’s essentially the successful formula behind the catchiest songs ever.

#3 “Gangnam Style” – Psy

Is Psy still relevant? Who knows? No one can take away from him the enormous, gigantic, and titanic success that he found through Gangnam Style. Not only was the dancing style unique and perfect viral-material, but the track itself just completely overtakes your mind. Just remember that it’s sung in Korean, yet it became a worldwide hit!

#4 “Smash Mouth” – All Star

Once you’ve heard this song, it’s difficult not to immediately think of it whenever you hear the word “somebody.” Unlike the other of the catchiest songs, Smash Mouth’s beginning is always more popular than the chorus itself. It’s just impossible not to immediately burst into a melodic, “Somebody once told me…”

#5 “Blurred Lines” – Robin Thicke

As controversial as this song (and even more so the music video) is, it was such a hit for a good reason. Everything about it sticks out like a sore thumb: the funky melodic line, the little ornaments (take the “hey, hey, hey!” for example), and the chorus. Gotta give credit where credit’s due.

#6 “All About That Bass” – Meghan Trainor

Sheesh, speaking of controversy… Some may have criticized Trainor for promoting acceptance for curvy women by putting down the skinnier ones. But that’s a whole new story. The song itself is really difficult to get rid of, particularly because of the rhythmic sound of it and the funky tune.

#7 “Baby” – Justin Bieber

Don’t forget that, despite the general success of his songs these days, there was a time when everyone hated Justin Bieber’s music. Baby was (and quite possibly still is) the most disliked video on YouTube and it was so criticized it became a terrible parody song á la Friday instead. But, come on, let’s all face it: it’s really catchy.

#8 “Macarena” – Los del Rio

You know what’s the funniest part about Macarena? Everyone knows it, but at the same time nobody knows it. It’s very common to find someone failing to sing along and muttering nonsense instead of the proper lyrics. But, boy, is it satisfying when the song finally gets to the only part you know: the “eeeeh, Macarena!”

What did you think? Did you cycle through all of these songs and struggled to get them out of your head? If yes, we hope they’ll leave you alone soon. It’s not easy to shrug off the catchiest songs of all time.
