Flashback Friday

[waves_of_light]

It’s Friday! Every week I check out the charts for this day in the past and share the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, let’s go back to see what we were listening to in the 3rd week of May, 2009.

#3 Super Junior “It’s You”
Personally, my favorite song from them. But I only really like

FIre.... Not my first Kpop song, but it was the track that made me a fan of the genre and catapulted me into the Kpop world. I like to think of this is my starting point of being a fan so happy 12th anniversary to me too! I know alot of people will say their discography has not aged well, but I think this is still a very fresh and vibrant song with the right kind of energy. They had such a fashion forward, risky styling too. Can we have a little of that flavour back....

It's You is still such a good song. I don't like to say this out loud but SJ's releases in 2009..... absolute QUALITY.

Agreed about SuJu. I haven't listened to most of their new releases because honestly, the quality is.....not good. Their first few (three) albums were good and then it just went downhill from there.

No matter how much i can't stand SJ, Its You is still such a good song

A&A is good! The amount of hair gel in their hair tho to keep it up. I really liked this era of kpop. We got great crossover

I missed 2nd gen groups covering each other's songs, and singing live!

Rookie groups will do dance covers a lot, but we really don't see groups from similar debut times cover each others song on stage anymore

They're was a big drop off in live singing, but I think it's coming back. At least for some groups & some music shows

I thankfully stopped being an SJ fan a long time ago, but It's you is still one of my fave songs from them. "Fire" and "Again and Again" brings me back to the fun/not so serious time in K-pop.

So many good songs 😭 Shake is still a bop and so many groups covered Again & Again.

will a boy group ever release another it's you.. now that's music

[sweetestbliss1]

I wish...it's a lot of noise now. I don't think SM can even release another It's You based on the quality of music they've been releasing lately....

[921227]

Esp for title tracks, but SM can definitely still produce a good b-side

[sweetestbliss1]

Yeah, title tracks have been a mess. Def not up to par. Guess they're going through a rut right now. In fact, I feel like K-pop in general is going through a rut right now. Releases in 2021 haven't really impressed me...even from those I looked most forward to
