hahahahaha holy shit

I've fallen totally in love with this song in the last 4 days.

it's so fucking good!!!

also this is a bit weird but every time I listen to alvvays a small part of my brain recalls hearing news of the singer's father's death when I was young (he was a pretty famous musician in Canada, esp where I grew up) and it adds a slightly tragic tinge to all their stuff (so many xps)

I voted for this! It was one of my best discoveries from the Spotify playlist. A great headphones song.

it was an unusually wonderful year for k-pop and i'm so delighted that the countdown is reflecting this

ALL MY LIFE
BY MY LIFE

wow did not see this placing so high!!!

all my life
LIFE LIFE LIFE

lol, xp

is this the act that's also some sort of wild multimedia project?

From what I understand, LOOΠΔ is the overarching group and before they release a proper debut all the sub-units of LOOΠΔ are being introduced one at a time.

It's like K-pop Turquoise Jeep.

this is my favorite of the kpop entries so far

Is this the most k-pop there's ever been on one of these lists? Nice surprise

much prefer this to the other loona

xps kind of, they're a girl group that's been introducing members and sub-groups monthly for the past year and a bit, and the videos have some sort of vague interconnected plot that's also told through the video descriptions too but there's not really much to it

detailed breakdown via the TSJ comments

K-pop sucks.

Cool, thx

TOPICS TO COVER (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

Animals?
Time loop
Mobius / two dimensions
Odd Eye Circle - meaning?
Connections between subunits

lol

looool that breakdown, awesome

You had to know 31 slides wasn't gonna cover it. xp

I didn't think it was gonna make the list! New was my no. 1

the resignation in the lyrics and the music just totally sells this for me.

We've hit the top 30 without Kendrick appearing once, which suggests either he got vote split to hell or he's going to take up half the remaining places.

new makes me weirdly emotional

other loona tracks i strongly recommend are 90s sugar rush Everyday I Love You, ambitious orchestral ballad Sonatine, and Love Cherry Motion

kendrick doesn't exist

Whoever said before we're only getting "DNA" and "Humble" was correct, though I could see them both being top 10

new makes me weirdly emotional

same

much prefer this to the other loona

Same here

*likely correct lol, I'm not *that* sure xxp

am I wrong to think "Palette" is going to make it in as well

at this point who even knows man

lmao this is a good year for extended jams huh

holy shit what is THIS

Red Flavor is def the best of the four girl group joints on this list, and RV also prob the least 'normal' of the four groups in terms of sound.

(...I write as the fifth entry shows up. Def a new record for k-pop in a year without an obvious 'the one track to vote for'. new is a jam, yeah)

Simon H - I wish, but I'm positive it won't. My #1 tho

Humble wasn't nominated until really late and I'm really not sure it'll make it

I think I voted for it! (for some reason I'm completely blanking on my ballot lol) xp

Man how did I miss that Mondo Grosso track, so good, want a 12 minute version. Bringing back Star Suite vibes which I rinsed the fuck out of back in the day

Xp Grafts yes!

Simon H - I wish, but I'm positive it won't. My #1 tho

fingers crossed, it was my no. 4

watch it get 78'd

awww KLC was my #1

I among those who forgot about the Mondo Grosso track but would've totally voted for it. :(

Also, my god, what an incredible video!

"grafts" is fucking awesome, good job everyone

Kara-Lis Coverdale is great - in addition to making ambient music and hanging out with Tim Hecker she's a church organist who occasionally plays rap instrumentals as people are filing in or out of the church.

Pretty sure I saw Grafts in at least a couple of album polls though.

No Paramore yet. Wonder if they've suffered from vote splitting

Good job everyone for Grafts at the high position and for stirring things up.

they'll only get one track in but i expect it to place xp
