Top 5: Favourite K-Pop Boy Bands

I tried my hardest. The hardest I could. To order this from 1-5. But I couldn't. In the end, I had to do it alphabetical order and just promise that all five of these bands are absolutely spectacular.

1. B.A.P
One Shot
2. BIGBANG
Monster
3. BOYFRIEND
Janus
4. SHINee
Sherlock
5. U-KISS
Believe

Where do I start? All these bands are absolutely wonderfully spectacular. When I first heard One Shot by B.A.P I instantly fell in love. I'd heard other songs by them but those songs never sucked me in. One Shot is the song that made me fall in love with them. I'd listened to K-Pop in the past but what really hooked me into the genre overall is BIGBANG's Monster. That means I haven't been a fan for as long as other people but that doesn't mean I'm not a dedicated fan. BOYFRIEND is not as popular as the other bands but they're just so beautiful. Their dancing is so amazing. I could just watch the Janus music video over and over again and not get bored. Lots of people agree that Sherlock by SHINee isn't their best song but I've listened to their older songs and newer songs and I don't really like any of them as much as I like Sherlock. Lucifer is good it's just not my favourite. Last but not least is U-KISS. Believe is such an amazing song to me. Though I loved Stop Girl and songs from their latest album, Believe is definitely my favourite. U-KISS's dancing is also fantastic. BEAST and NU'EST almost made it onto my list, but at this point of time, they haven't impressed me as much as these five bands.

Music Of 2012!

This year has definitely been a massive year of pop! Society and pop culture has started the year with the amazingly catchy Call Me Maybe by the one and only Carly Rae Jepsen. In July, the world was introduced to none other than Gangnam Style that has taken over the world. Has anyone else felt like the song has been stalking you? To sum up my favourite pop songs of 2012, here is DJ Earworm's Mashup of the top 25 music hits in the U.S; Shine Brighter.

Aside from the top 25 on the end of year Hot 100 Songs list, I have to mention a few more songs that I've listens to hundreds of times this past year:

Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble

Justin Bieber - Beauty and a Beat

Carly Rae Jepsen - This Kiss

Adele - Skyfall

I can't forget my K-POP loves this year though! Looking through my iTunes most played songs, I've noticed that most of the songs that have been played heaps this year have been K-Pop. I like to keep my playlists balanced but the reason why K-Pop songs have so many more plays is simply because they stay on my playlist longer. So these are my favourite K-Pop songs this year starting with my number one:

BIGBANG - Monster

Boyfriend - Janus

U-KISS - Stop Girl

Xia (Xiah Junsu) - Uncommitted

Secret - Poison

J-Min - Stand Up

Epik High - Up

RaNia - Style

G-Dragon - That XX

Kara - Pandora

K.Will - Please Don't...

Finally, my biases:

T.O.P (BIGBANG)

Eli (U-KISS)

Hyunseong (Boyfriend)

- Notice the connection between the people I've been obsessed with and my favourite songs?

2012 has been a big year, let's hope for a bigger and better Gangnam Style for 2013. You never know, 2013 might be the year for 2 billion on YouTube.
