Flashback Friday

[waves_of_light]

It’s Friday! Every week I go through 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, we are going back to see what was on top for the 4th week of May, 2013.

#3 Shinhwa “This Love”
I still and will probably always love this tbh. I think this works

"this is our 15th anniversary album and we are grown men now and we will do what we want and what we want is to pose and vogue and serve for 3 minutes and 44 seconds”

100%! Absolutely love that song, and I love that they're mature men still doing what they want and showing the little boys how it's done lol

Very accurate!

And I miss 4minute.

Bad girls was a MOMENT! This is my favorite performance, which coincidentally is from May 26th and has been slightly overrun with comments about Shownu who was a dancer for her in this pre-debut:

I loved that album so, so much TBQH

4Minute had this and then came back super quick with 'Is it Poppin?' IIRC?

And then there's YooHoo. Fun fact, I was actually such a Secret stan back in the day that I posted both this and the album together in a post but hated this song SO MUCH that to this day the only time I've ever listened to it in any capacity was when posting it then.

yeah, is it poppin'? came out about 2 months after what's your name? did.

Does Shinhwa still promote on music shows? (When they have something new.)

[dantethetaco]

I believe they've done it for all their comebacks. The last they had was Kiss Me Like That and they did do music shows. But I dont think they'll have another one, at leat not anytime soon.

[annoyedannushka]

That's good to hear. I've mainly only seen younger groups on shows. I was wondering what happened to the older ones.

[dantethetaco]

Oh well, there's not many older idol groups left. Shinhwa is the only one that has been together and consistenly released music since their debut. g.o.d and SECHSKIES got together in recent years after disbanding at the start of the 00s, but they've not done that much in music terms. I know SECHSKIES did music shows for their reunion year, but I don't thinik they've released anything else after that. After them the oldest groups are Super Junior, TVXQ, Big Bang and FT Island. They never stopped promoting/releasing music but some of them are either serving or just did their military service in recent years.

Unfortunately is not an industry that favors longevity :(

I didn't mind Secrets cute phase concepts mostly bc the members are really cute and Jieuns voice is so lovely that she sounds good even in cute songs
