Not the Queen of Japan's best release this year especially as a follow up after the slay that was _Genic, Red Carpet is pretty basic but still has a redeeming factor somewhere that has it slowly growing on me

Despite being the f(at) of F(x) Amber's solo is a lowkey kidz Bop Aside from the cringe worthy rapping the chorus slays & Taeyeon eventually saves the song during her 4 second feature
Probably one of my least favorite Korean rappers, ironically Dok2 ended up releasing a pretty decent album this year full of bops and this DJ Mustard anthem proves production >>> talent
Essentially I didn't really care for any of UR's season 1 semi final tracks and onward mostly since I stopped watching but after going back and checking for them Cheetah's track kinda tugged at my weave, her flow is just so unique and aggressive while still being calm at a rapid pace, truly the rightful winner of season 1
After releasing a truly tragic mixtape this year
Kumi managed to redeem herself with this pop perfect summer anthem
which instantly snatched me on the first listen, I mean the sampling of a dial tone alone >>>>
Innovative queen serving production and vocals
E-Legends showed their diversity with this track proving they could slay me beyond their upbeat tracks. Queen were serving vocal talent especially within the intro the production's v cute and mellow while also being addicting with that catchy chorus.
To begin this isn't Crazy (Guilty Pleasure) so it's already providing quality , mix in Godhyun's heaven sent talent and vocals with a Zion.T feature and there you have a effortless slay.
EXID's best non single sing serving the smash that got away I mean this song just screams melon roof top and #1 for months on the chart, not a single part of this song isn't catchy af and then the vocal slayage that is the Soji and that bridge don't even get me started on Hani's iconic chorus.
Lovelyz are probably the only group out of the new basic cutesy school girl concept nugu's that can serve me a cute bop that won't have my ear's bleeding and instead have me head bopping to throughout their song
Initially I thought this song was trash and a weak follow up the Ah Yeah but I was only half right about that, after a couple of plays the song instantly grew on me and still manages to sound better with each play, it's no Ah Slay or Up&Disintegrate but it's surely not a bad song and for once JungHwa's part isn't the worst part of the song
Sis the graphs slayedT 
don't even get me started on Hani's iconic chorus. 
Wow, what an absolute slay. Possibly the best I've seen so far. I'll be perched for your Pop list + possibly albums!
