Let's continue with the list! I hope you enjoy my selection of songs.
~ No. 20 ~
Song: Playing With Fire
Group: Blackpink
Top from left: Jennie and Jisoo Bottom from left: Lisa and Rose |
I've mentioned before that Blackpink made quite a wave in 2016 with their releases, and Playing With Fire was no exception. It's a cool song and the short piano (I think) intro for the song is pretty nice.

~ No. 19 ~
Song: Windy Day
Group: Oh My Girl
From left: Arin, Binnie, Hyojung, Jiho, JinE, Mimi, Seunghee and YooA |
This is quite a unique song. It has somewhat of a Middle-Eastern influence in the end part of the chorus which makes it quite refreshing. The concept for the music video is quite nice too.

~ No. 18 ~
Song: High Heels
Group: Brave Girls
Top from left: Eunji, Hayun, Hyeran and Minyoung Bottom from left: Yoojin, Yujeong and Yuna |
Wow, I can't stop listening to High Heels, such an upbeat and catchy song! I think I've been playing the song for months after it was first released. The song is very addictive.

~ No. 17 ~
Song: Rough
Group: Gfriend
Top from left: Eunha, SinB and Sowon Bottom from left: Umji, Yerin and Yuju |
Rough is a very well-made song, I love it! Gfriend's songs tend to sound similar with one another, and it's the same case for this song, but the strategy works for the group so I'm not complaining.

~ No. 16 ~
Song: Stay
Group: Blackpink
From left: Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rose |
Another song from Blackpink that showcases their vocal prowess. This is actually the first time I've included four different songs from the same group in my yearly chart. They had released incredible songs so I can't help myself. Let's see if they will continue the momentum in 2017.

~ No. 15 ~
Song: Mirror
Group: Fiestar
Clockwise from top left: Cao Lu, Hyemi, Jei and Linzy Center: Yezi |
I love Mirror, it's a sad song with depressing lyrics but it's also sound kind of sexy and seductive. The concept for the music video definitely suited the song.

~ No. 14 ~
Song: Doo Doom Chit
Group: Crayon Pop
Far left: Choa Center from top: Ellin, Geummi and Soyul Far right: Way |
Crayon Pop is a group that has a special place in my heart. They always released songs with unique concept and Doo Doom Chit is no exception. It's catchy, fun but also a bit more matured than what they had previously released before.

~ No. 13 ~
Song: Someone Like U
Group: Dal Shabet
From left: Ah Young, Serri, Subin and Woohee |
While I do love some of Dal Shabet's songs before, I must admit that I'm really starting to dig their songs when they are down to 4 members (2 of their members left) and Someone Like U was their first song as a 4-member group. It's an addictive pop song and the rap part by Serri was amazing!

~ No. 12 ~
Song: I Like That
Group: Sistar
From top: Bora, Dasom, Hyorin and Soyou |
I much prefer I Like That than their previously released songs Touch My Body and Shake It but it seems that those two latter songs were much more popular than I Like That, which makes me sad quite frankly. Are their popularity declining? Personally I think I Like That is a stronger and more sophisticated song compared to those two songs.

~ No. 11 ~
Song: Shooting Love
Group: Laboum
From left: Haein, Solbin, Soyeon, Yujeong, Yulhee and ZN |
I honestly believe that Shooting Love is a well-constructed pop song so it's kind of sad to think that the song as well as the group are not as popular as I hope they would be. If you haven't listen to this song yet, you might want to check it out. It's really good.

So that's all for Part 2 of the chart. How do you like the songs so far? Music is universal so even though you're not a K-pop fan, I believe you can still at least enjoy some of them, which I think are quite catchy and entertaining for anyone to listen to.
We're almost at the top of the list. See you in Part 3 which is coming soon!
