☆ ITZY - LOCO [Ver. C] ☆
Okay soooo if you read my statuses you might know I was planning on making a thread that would make me a hypocrite. BOOM! Here it is LMAO.

So a little while back I said I hate when people say “best songs of 2022” when it’s nowhere near the end of the year. And I’m still true to that. However since June marks the 6th month of the year I do think that a midway point is a good place to make something like this. So that’s why I’m here making it!

Here is a list of my top 10 favourite songs released this year (including bsides).

10th. Tell Me One More Time - CLASS:y
[Class Is Over]
The reason I love this song is how summery and energetic it is. It just makes me feel so happy and so that’s why it’s at number 10.

9th. Super Yuppers! - WJSN Chocome
[Super Yuppers!]
One of the most obnoxious songs this year and that’s why it’s amazing. Dayoung absolutely killed this era and honestly if you don’t like this song I don’t trust you end of the story

8th. Shut Down - CLASS:y
[Class Is Over]
The title track that accompanies TMOMT. This song is just such a good debut song. It’s fierce but energetic and the vocals are so good

7th. GingaMingaYo (The Strange World) - Billlie
[the collective soul and unconscious: chapter one]
Bonus points if you found this song before Tsuki went viral. This was literally such an amazing comeback. It’s one of the most unique songs out there and I just love how fun and silly it is

6th. Rolla Skates - Jo Yuri
[Op.22 Y-Waltz : in major]
This is such a magical song. It’s easy to listen to and it’s relaxing. But the highlight of this song is Yuri’s vocals. They sound like glass which I suppose is fitting for her

5th. Escape Room - fromis_9
[Midnight Guest]
I will not shut up about this song until one person goes @shinnayu you were right I’m sorry for doubting you this is one of the best songs ever. It’s so classy and elegant. Kinda sexy too. It’s also so easy on the ears LIKE THE CHORUS omg omg omg. I love it

4th. Blue Flame - LE SSERAFIM
[Fearless]
Such a simplistic song yet so impactful. The vocals are so smooth and nice, and it makes me feel confident. I honestly wish this was the title track over Fearless coz even though Fearless grew on me I feel like it was a safe choice. This song sort of reminds me of Like It Hot by GWSN which was one of my favourite titles from last year

3rd. La Luna - ICHILLIN’
[Bridge of Dreams]
Basically all the songs from 3-1 are tied but I forced them into an order because I’m like that. If you asked me to describe how the night sky would sound I would just say La Luna by Ichillin. I just feel like a fairy listening to this song it’s like magic in sound form and I think it’s possibly one of the BEST bsides in the history of Kpop and it deserved to have a music video at the bare minimum

2nd. LOVE DIVE - IVE
[Love Dive]
I literally spent a solid month doing the dance to this song multiple times a day. Daily. The only times I stopped was when I was sick but you bet your ass I was still dancing while sick just smaller. I’m still mad about the bridge but honestly the rest of the song is a work of art that I cannot let the bridge spoil it. IVE are like rookies of the century I swear to god their power is terrifying

1st. Ven Para - Weeekly
[Play Game : AWAKE]
First place and the most controversial song on this list. Many people don’t like this song because it ruined Weeekly’s cute concept, and that it was a generic song any group could release. To that I say VEN PARA ACA VEN PARA ACA. I am the Ven Para girl of the forums (declared by myself) because god the day I heard this I had to loop it for 3 days straight. The impact of this song. The vocals. The rap. The dance. It’s so powerful. And idc if any group could of done it. Weeekly was the chosen group and they killed it. They killed it so hard it’s my official favourite song.

Honourable mentions:
Cold Winter, The Killa and Play - YUJU
DOOMCHITA - Secret Number
In My Dreams - Red Velvet
Love Shhh! - Jo Yuri
O.O - NMIXX
Parachute - Oh My Girl

I can’t wait to see how the next half of the year will go.
What have been your top 10 songs this first half of 2022?

10. Pretty Boys-Yena
- The begining is just so sexy and sassy holy crap. The prechorus is angelic and adds in the sassy intro. Then we get a satisfying af chorus! The rap is also really good.

9. Super Cool-Class:y
- Lowkey cringey but my god the vocals in this song are heavenly.

8. Marionette-Red Velvet
- I love the classical/dark influence in this song. Also the progression in the prechorus is impeccable. The chorus is super slick too. Red velvet delievers even in their japanese bsides.

7. Mr. Wolf-Oneus
- I love cinematic shit like this.

6. Alive-Lightsum
- This song is just so satisfying and I love the post chorus. Lightsum deserves your attention.

5. In My Dreams-Red Velvet
- I feel like I'm in heaven when I'm listening to this song. Wendy and Seulgi's adlibs in the last chorus are so pretty, Irene's deep prechorus is so sexy, and the instrumental is on point!

4. Set Myself on Fire-Taeyeon
- The last chorus is so beautiful, who am I kidding the whole song is so beautiful!

3. Love Dive-IVE
- Narcassistic my god I love it.....

2. Maniac-Stray Kids
- Changbin's rap, the whole chorus, and the vocal step up Stray Kids did make this song iconic.

1. Feel My Rhythm - Red Velvet
- I'm still in shock of how good this song is. It has everything anyone could need.

Honorable Mentions:
Bye Bye Love-Lightsum
Shut Down-Class:y
Kiss & Fix-Oh My Girl
Love in Space-Cherry Bullet
Run2u-StayC
Cold as Hell, Timeless, Heart-Tayeon (Taeyeon's album had no skips)
Smiley-Yena
Drive-Miyeon
Darl+ing-Seventeen
Jikjin-Treasure
Le Vo9age-Kep1er

10. Feel my rythm - Red Velvet
I didn't find this song very unique compared to other RV tracks but it is enjoyable, beautiful and technically a 10/10

9. Shutdown - Class:y
I personally loved the style of the song, definetly didn't expect it but overall very good and makes me wanna listen again.

8. Gingamingayo - Billie
Basically what @shinnayu said.

7. La luna - Ichillin
Adore the style of this song. Even if the voices sound very engineered, it's an ethereal song for me. Also, they released the dance practice less than 2 weeks ago.

6. Miyeon's solo career but specially Drive
I think this are the types of solos gg members deserve.

5. Maniac - Stray Kids
This is the song of a group I don't stan that the chorus drives me crazy.

4. Bye bye love - Lightsum
I listened to this song when going to my morning walks and I felt much better. I think the instrumental of this song is the one that hits hard.

3. Marionette - Red Velvet
Masterpiece. Just that.

2. Good news - Lightsum
Maybe some may not like that I put good news so high but I just really love this song. I think it's as good as the other ones.

1. Love dive - Ive
Makes me ascend to heaven.

ik im late but i thought id do it. I only explained top 3 bc im lazy :/
1. how we live - kang daniel ft sokodomo
I love the rap at the beginning. It gives such a good intro to the song! The chorus is *chefs kiss* and the production of the mv is bright and matches the vibe of the song well.
2. circus - skz
Couldnt stop streaming this. Stray kids has released another masterpiece. their japanese comeback did not disappoint. Han's part especially, they all delivered. The whisper parts seem to be a trend? as txt used them in gbgb, and it really adds to the concept
3. move - tnx
such a good debut song! pnation just has really good songs. The bikyeora bikyeo, the drum rolls, and the "going on my way" parts all go together so well, and the entrance with "everybody lets get started" really delivers. (listened to this while making this post, and its a bop)
4. charmer - skz
5. lonely st - skz
6. cupid - dkz
7. gbgb - txt
