Violin in C Sharp

This is my third year of doing this sort of music list countdown - and like my previous two years, I'm pretty damn sure that the 23 songs with the highest listening count for me are going to be all from the k-pop genre... but I haven't checked yet.  We'll learn if my prediction is true together. For stats, I use volt.fm which is linked to my spotify account.  Yes, I know it doesn't log my listens from TikTok, CDs, concerts, YouTube or any other formats, but I would say that 85 - 90% of all my full song listen throughs are from streaming on Spotify these days. So then, without further ado, let's get into it! #23 - I Don't Understand But I Luv You Artist : Seventeen  Album : FML Release Date: April 24, 2023 Language : Korean / English Key : F Minor  Time Signature : 4/4 BPM : 114 This was a Performance Team unit song based on a comment Hoshi had gotten from a fan interaction.  The comment reminded him how Jun, one of their Chinese members, had been in the early ...

 The title of this blog post is slightly misleading. There was a TikTok I saw where the woman challenged viewers to create a list of their top 25 k-pop of 2023 - with a few restrictions on the choices.  1) The songs must have been released in 2023 2) Only 1 song on the list per group (solo songs from members of a group do not count against their group and may be their own entries) I LOVE making lists.   The creation of this list devoured a good 4 hours of my day when I came across the challenge.  I made the TikTok in answer to the challenge, but I feel that 4 hours of work deserves more than a simple list with no reasoning behind the choices of the songs or their placement on the list. So - blog post it is! A reminder, this list is not meant to be my opinion on which were the most successful, most popular, or most critically acclaimed.  This list is meant to be which were MY favorite new releases of the year.  Many thanks to  volt.fm  for the...

 I did a post like this last year - my top 21 songs of 2021 and had a lot of fun with it - so here we are again with the top 22 from this last year.  Expect most (if not all) songs to fall into the K-Pop genre because that has been my dominant genre of the year. As I said last year, my  Spotify wrapped gave pretty good insight into which songs got the most play from me on that service, but that doesn't take into account my non-Spotify listening or the songs that might not have gotten as much airplay even though I like them more.  Let's face it, songs released earlier in the year had more chances to get repeated plays after all. 22) The Astronaut by Jin Release date: 10/28/2022 This song didn't have a chance to make my Spotify Wrapped at all - but it is the song that best represents my musical journey for the last 3 months of 2022.  It's a farewell song from Jin as he and his other members head off to military service. In June, BTS announced that they would be t...
