I also like Likely, but I didn't nominate it because it's kinda similar to Kylie Minogue's Can't Shake the Feeling:

I mean, maybe that doesn't matter, it's not like it's the same song or anything.

i don't really hear that much of a resemblance there? it's already nominated though
for a long time Likey's hook felt really unsatisfying despite loving the rest of it, but its catchiness has caught up with me. the same thing happened with TT for me too

i may honestly be the only person who really feels a way for "new" but its construction is pretty oblique for a synth pop jam, everything occurs slightly later than i expect it to, which helps the track exude a kind of centerless longing (i haven't read the lyrics). makes me think of what would happen if green gartside wrote a kpop song

yeah it's subtly weird. the bass rhythm is atypical and feels quite odd at first but then ties everything together in the chorus. i'm not sure but are the hi-hats live at least in the verse(?) they stand out compared to the other percussion and the brief moment they drop out at the start of the second verse is always unexpected but cool
the lyrics are mostly about realising a new self, they don't seem like anything special but listening to it while reading the subtitles has also made me weirdly emotional multiple times lol
i would really love it if some kpop producers mined cupid & psyche for things to rip and it's a real shame they haven't yet

Impressed by their commitment to the choreography, usually boygroups are a bit more reserved.

Blackpink and TWICE both made it to the year-end list (#67 Likey, #66 As If It's Your Last), good job guys.

Girl Front at #44, I think I voted for it but can't remember. I'm pretty happy to see it place, I like it more than 'new' although 'new' has been growing on me.
Hitchhikker was my #1 but p sure that's not showing up on any list any time soon lol.
