8. T-ARA - Sexy Love September 4, Mirage Since this is the song I sing to the dogs almost every single week, it had to rate pretty damn high. Easy to pick up chorus, easy to pick up dance moves, catchy riff, T-ara, or whoever writes for them, knows how to make addicted songs, as I've probably said before. It's a shame everything's kinda fallen apart there because had they produced the same songs at a company that wasn't quite as dodgy, they could be so popular right now.
7. SUNG JOON - Jaywalking February 13, Shut Up Flower Boy Band OST Part 2 Sighhhhhh SUFBB you were so awesome. I love this song, a lot. I love how it sounds raw and unpolished, as if their misfit boy band really did come up with it themselves. Sung Joon's voice fits the style perfectly, since it's a real rock voice (rather than them getting some idol singer with a pop style voice). 내 내 내 가슴이 턱 gets me every time.
6. ORANGE CARAMEL - Lipstick September 12, Lipstick This has got to be my favourite Orange Caramel song yet. I've always like Orange Caramel, due to my tendency to love trashy cutesy girl group songs that make me totally question my weird taste in music. I like how the writers took a familiar melody, which makes it even easier for it to get stuck in your head. Plus the omo omo dance part is like.. my favourite dance move of the year (except maybe Sexy Love?).
5. AFTER SCHOOL - Flashback June 20, Flashback Of course After School's comeback would be up this high. I think there were a lot of people who didn't really like it, and a lot of people who just complained constantly about how Kahi wasn't there (yeah sure, I'm disappointed she left too, but it's After School, they have a graduation concept so what were you expecting?), but I really loved it (and I do in fact know all the words).
4. MIRYO (BROWN EYED GIRLS) FT. SUNNY (GIRLS' GENERATION) - I Love You, I Love You February 1, Miryo aka Johoney Yay officially my favourite Korean soshi song of the year, I'm just so glad that Sunny got the chance to do this. Her voice often gets dismissed as too cute or whatever, but here she showed that when she doesn't have to sing in that way, it's really beautiful (which most Sones already knew anyway). Plus as usual, Miryo is an incredible rapper (with a lot of emotion in her voice when she raps, which I like).
3. T-ARA - Day by Day July 3, Day by Day Sigh Day by Day was the T-ara era when I finally decided to choose a bias. Of course I chose Hwayoung and then it all went to shit so thank you Core Contents or whatever the company was called. This was the only epically long T-ara MV I actually enjoyed (even though I wish they could have included everyone, even if it was only in a small role). Anyway Hwayoung's rap is flipping awesome and I miss her. Oh also I feel I like this song cos it would kinda fit in a fantasy epic despite its modern instrumentation.
2. SUNNY HILL - The Grasshopper Song January 13, The Grasshoppers You know how I love a song with a good message. And there are so many Sunny Hill songs to choose from like that, but this is definitely my favourite one. For one thing the epicness of the MV, which is so much more creative and interesting and fitting for the subject than many Kpop MVs. For another thing, Janghyun!! even if his part is totally autotuned. I miss him. Plus again it's such a catchy song omg.
1. GLAM - Party(XXO) July 16, Party(XXO) ANNA IS BIASEEEEEEEEEEEED YAYYYYYY! But seriously I don't know how anybody could not like this song, I could listen to it all day, all week, all month, forever. It's happy and fun, it's catchy, it's meaningful, the MV is interesting (although totally cheesy at times, floating in the night sky anyone?), all the girls are incredibly talented (watch they're live it's flawless and the dance is pretty active). Seriously why does this song not have more views? It's so perfect...
