Flashback Friday

Every week I check 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 10 years, to the 2nd week of July, 2011.

#3 Secret “Starlight Moonlight”
This was the group’s follow up to “Shy Boy”, that was released earlier in the year. I wasn’t

I've never heard that Secret song before and WON'T look for it again lol

with Rainbow, before they start singing you can already see some of the rain so definitely real. Hot Summer is a song I first heard by its original artist Monrose and while f(x) is great they didn't do anything either interesting or better than the original. Midnight Circus was TRULY SH at their peak!! I'm so sad it this sound didn't get them the traction they needed/deserved and miss Jang as an oncamera performance with them.

Speaking of 'Hands Up' tho, while I wasn't personally there myself the OMTD post about it was PACKED with comments: https://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/6875739.html?page=1

I'm not sure what caused the decision for this to happen and for damn sure will NOT be going through 200+ pages but feel proud of OMONA all the same LOL

Holy shit 8888 comments for a single post. Crazy times. But still not as much as RDD, that song got 2 posts just for its mv release lol

it also was a party post that lasted a week

God, I don't think we've even gotten 8k comments total in the last 5 years

hands up is not very interesting so it’s funny to know it’s their highest selling song

hot summer is a bop though it’s not my favorite f(x) title track. they truly deserved better

hot summer is so iconic i love f(x). it's actually one of my least favorite singles by them but it bangs regardless

Midnight Circus is SO iconic!! I had no clue IU and Gain were in the teasers. It’s such a shame that they only had that image for a few comebacks before switching to 100% generic concepts. Loen really screwed them over, it’s such a shame.

So many iconic songs, I remember all of them! I dislike Starlight Moonlight and I'm sorry f(x) but Monrose's version of Hot Summer will always be the superior version.
Hands Up is still a great party jam, I remember the guys saying they were so happy they finally got to promote a song that they would also listen to in private.
