Kpopular's Top 20 K-pop Songs Of 2015

And so, as 2015 comes to a close, I decide to get up off my arse and write a bloody article for a change. As it's the new year, why not just copy everyone else and chuck out a list of my favourite K-pop songs from 2015? A smashing idea.

Notes:
- This list only counts K-pop singles, as whilst I hate using a "one song per group" rule 70% of positions would otherwise be taken up by f(x) and Wonder Girls.
- Japanese and English songs are not present though that's more because nothing particularly notable was released in those two languages.

With that here they are, prepare to fume when you see none of your faves are here (spoilers: if they're from YG they most certainly won't be) and a song you can't fucking bear is standing tall and proud in the top 10:

Red Velvet Show Us Something New With "Dumb Dumb"

We're almost halfway through the decade and we've seen hundreds of K-pop girl groups come and go, though arguably none have managed to make the same impact as the main stars of the second generation. However it's more obvious than ever that the veterans will very soon be stepping down, with even giants like Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, and 2NE1 having to rely on their previous successes to stay at the very top, and it's time for someone else to take the throne.

"Hang on though, if no other girl groups have even come close to the top spot, who could take it?". And that's where, in a flurry of confetti and glitter, Red Velvet appear to claim their rightful place at the girl group throne with "Dumb Dumb".

Album Teaser Uploaded for "REBOOT", Wonder Girls Are on to a Winner

An album teaser for Wonder Girls' third full-length album "REBOOT" has been uploaded onto JYP's YouTube channel, and it sounds like it could be the best album this year.

MV Review- Brave Brothers Pretends to Put Some Effort Into HELLOVENUS' "I'm Ill"

Perhaps the "oh-eh-oh-eh-oh" should be switched round to "A-O-A-O-A".

NC.A Has a New Image for "Vanilla Shake" Teaser

You'd think NC.A's cute and innocent image would gain her quite a bit of popularity in the current K-pop climate, full of slut-shaming and pathetic attempts to justify double standards. After two years of going pretty much nowhere with any of her songs, NC.A's "Vanilla Shake" looks like it will very literally shake things up; both her styling and the instrumental are wildly different to what we're used to seeing from her.

"Vanilla Shake" is set to be released on the 20th of July, and with all of the big groups currently promoting she'll most likely find it very difficult to stand out, but maybe this switch up is just what she needed to drastically boost her popularity (here's hoping it also drastically boosts the quality of her music too, "Cinderella Time" was unbearably insipid).

MV Review- Got7 Get Positive in "Just Right"

K-pop's focus on visuals can be both a blessing and a curse to fans: on the one hand the flawless idols mean there's an endless amount of eye-candy, on the other it can be a little intimidating to be bombarded by such good-looking people, and it's all too easy to compare yourself to them. Enter Got7 with their new single "Just Right".

MV Review- Apink's "Remember" Is an Absolute Disaster

I could cry right now.
