KPOP Charts 2017, 2nd Edition: My Top 10

Hello everyone!! Sorry for my late post, but had some things on my way and couldn’t write sooner. For this Edition, I will be talking about the songs that were out on February and that I love so much. Hope you enjoyed and check them out.    

1.       The Song by ZionT: Zion T has made his comeback with "The Song" that is also referred to as the "Love Song", which is absolutely great. This is the first release of the artist after signing with The Black Label, a sub-label from YG Entertainment. This song is more on the pop side, a different sound from his usual hip-hop/R&B sounds. OO is the second full length album of the artist, and has being well phrased by different media including Billboard.  
   
2.       Lost Without You by Mad Clown ft Bobbalgan 4: Mad Clown has made us a great gift with his new single, "Lost Without You". The song is an excellent example of his great work, on the music and the lyrics. The collaboration Bobbalgan 4, the female duo that first made their appearance on Superstar K 6 on 2014, makes the song even better with their innocent vocals. 

3.       Spring Day by BTS: The incredibly talented boy group BTS has re-release their second full length album WINGS with the title "You Never Walk Alone". The title track, "Spring Day", made an all kill on eight of the major online music charts on Korea which even made the system collapse with the traffic overload.   

4.       Knock Knock by TWICE: On the middle of January it was announced by JYP Entertainment that TWICE would be releasing a special album, titled Twicecoaster: Lane 2, a follow up of the album Twicecoaster: Lane 1. This was announced after a successful 3 day, concert which is the first stop of their world tour. On February, the single "Konck, Knock" was release, and until now has won numerous number ones on different music shows. Cuteness and energy on their choreography has made the group very popular and loved around the world.

5.       Don't Recall by KARD: The group hasn’t made their official debut and are taking the world by storm since the release of the track "Oh Na Na". The coed group created by DSP Media has released their second track "Don't Recall", which is part of three release project before their official debut. A few weeks later the group released their hidden card, an English version of the track. The group has received a good response from international fans for their new sound on the k-pop industry.   

6.       Not Today by BTS: A week after the release of "Spring Day", on February 19, the group made a second MV with the track "Not Today". This track has that energetic sound and choreography that has made the group well known around the world. The MV broke the previous record they had on YouTube with the song "Spring Day", with more than 10 million views in less than 24 hours for a k-pop group.

The song was released by the sublabel of Starship, Starship X. Both artists have great vocals, and are loved by their respected fans very much. The song talks about a lost love and the nostalgia that one can feel on certain occasions, like when the "Rain" falls. Sooyu is known for her incredible collaborations with a great number of artists, and Beakhyun has taken the charts by storm last year with the collaboration with Suzy for the song "Dream" which also won numerous awards.

10.   Let Me Love You by Junggigo x Chanyeol: On February 26 singer/songwriter from label Starship Entertainment has release a collaboration with EXO member Chanyeol title "Let Me Love You".
