MUSIC TWENTY NINETEEN

[theramble]

yooooo! after hours and hours of preparations i wish i was exaggerating lol, i finally bring my 2019 k-music list!!!!! a few thoughts first, of course...

• the video turned out unreasonably long :((( bc i started out with a smaller number and then didn't bother to change the sample length when i increased the number... so if you watch the whole thing (with some skipping around if needed? ;~;), you're a bro!
• DO all the samples have the exact same length? i don't think so bc the text time stamps were occasionally iffy when i was finalizing ajgdsabg BUT UH generally yes...
• ranking 55 songs is a fool's errand so don't take the order too seriously beyond like... the top 2 looool, those two i'd known would be up there for months, i'd had a very vague idea of what would be in the top 15, but even with number three i'm kinda like WHEN DID YOU GET HERE??
• one of the items on one of my lists last year didn't age well..... so hopefully this time the only thing that ages badly is the meme i'm using at one point...
• you know how last year i felt my b-side list was Obviously Biased? you probably don't but i'm reminding you AND ANYWAY this year!!!!!! i feel like there's minimal bias and it's rather unpredictable!!!!! so i'm pretty excited about that, ha!!!!!
• kpop as a fandom has made me sad a lot this year so i think my consumption's become more introverted, if that makes sense, and overall i've been drawn to music that makes me feeeeeel, and then also BOPS as always.
• i would actually like to talk about each song but editing Thoughts in would've been tiring both for me and anyone watching so i had an idea that if you're curious about my brief Thoughts on a song and/or you wanna indulge me lolol, you could note down a song number and drop the number(s) for me as a Thought prompt~~?
• (bonus game: spot the two* collapsedone tracks. (*that i know of. i never realize in advance and then i check the credits and i'm like OBVIOUSLY and DAMN HE GOT ME AGAIN lol.))
• my favorite albums will be pretty apparent once you watch the vid gsdajgs BUT if i had to say who the artist of the year for me is! it might sound unexpected bc they didn't end up featuring in the 55 much! but it would be [spoilerrr]wjsn. so many albums and all of them ON POINT.
• ALSO i compiled songs i dig beyond the top 55 into a playlist so you may check that out after if you want (in most cases i limited it to three songs per artist) (this is particularly relevant for some november/december realeases, bc as i always say, i need more tiiiiiime, sheesh) (basically with this playlist you can totally imagine any of these songs was, like, number 56 or something, lol) (i don't think it has everything i meant to put in bc i got overwhelmed at one point and started losing track of what i'd put in, but ah well)
• i genuinely thought this intro would be shorter.......................

no grand list for western songs bc my range isn't very wide..... BUT top three albums i love and have listened to a lot, in this order, and my top three songs from each:





adore you, golden, fine line /// saddest generation, mirror, you've got your whole life ahead of you baby /// handmade heaven, soft to be strong, superstar

yay?
