With so many comebacks, the music charts are becoming more competitive. Despite the large fandom, it all comes down to which music is more appealing to hear without the age gap. Due to kpop being popular among all age groups, songs with high quality and catchy rhythms seem to win the battle. The recent successful comebacks include:
IU
IU has recently released her 4th album ‘Palette.’ This album not only comes with great quality of songs, but it also gained some extra attention when fans heard about the collaboration between Big Bang’s G-Dragon, and Hyuk Oh. As soon as the album was released, she “killed” the entire music charts with all her songs. It is very rare for a solo female artist to gain such success with their comeback, but because IU is known for her composing skills, people take a listen without hesitation.
- Dlwlrma
- Palette- ft. G-Dragon
- Ending scene
- Can’t love you anymore- with Hyuk Oh
- Jam Jam
- Black out
- Full stop
- Through the night
- Love alone
- Dear name
BTOB
The title song ‘Movie’ is composed by one of the BTOB’s members, Ilhoon. This song consist of a unique and funky style that is not often used in kpop. Not too many are familiar with this group due to their label not giving them enough push in the industry, but this album really contains one of the best kpop songs. 10th mini album ‘Feel’eM’ features 5 songs:
- Movie
- Someday
- Just tell me
- About time
- Rock N Hiphop
Red Velvet
Although two months has passed since their comeback, the song itself is so addictive that it is still standing high on the charts. This was their 4th mini album called ‘Rookie.’ After finishing off their last successful ‘Russian Roulette’ album, the Rookie album received even more love. It is one of those songs that once you listen to it once, you cannot get it out of your head.
- Rookie
- Little little
- Happily ever after
- Talk to me
- Body talk
- Last love
Taeyeon
After her first two mini-albums, Taeyeon is back with her 1st full-length album called ‘My Voice.’ In this album, you can really hear her vocal capabilities, as it contains various genres such as pop, R&B, ballad, etc. It takes a lot to become this successful as a solo artist outside SNSD, but she has proven that through her hit singles: I, Rain, Why, and several of her OST songs.
- Fine
- Cover up
- Feel so fine
- I got love
- I’m OK
- Time lapse
- Sweet love
- When I was young
- Lonely night
- Love in color
- Fire
- Eraser
Highlight
Former ‘Beast’ members created their own label after leaving their previous company, Cube Entertainment. Because their group name is owned by Cube, the members came up with a new name, Highlight. This album is very special to the Highlight members because they have “re-debuted” with a new name. The ‘Can You Feel It’ mini album contains 5 songs:
- Plz don’t be sad
- It’s still beautiful
- The beginning
- Dangerous
- CAN YOU FEEL IT?
Also be sure to check out upcoming comebacks including: PSY, Twice, Lee Hyori, Roy Kim, KARD (although they have not “officially” debuted), and many more.
