Flashback Friday

[waves_of_light]

Happy Friday! Every week I go through the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, we are going back to the 3rd week in December, 2014.

#3 GD X Taeyang “Good Boy”
This was the debut song (and only) from the duo. I still don’t get this song. But I

The sheer amount of girl group SLAY this post has! LUV was the first Apink single to grab me so it will always be very special to me while AOA was REALLY in their bag with this string of singles. I even remember noting how the group moved up in the kpop world because they were also given time to do a dull secondary song - Time IIRC - and got to perform LAC in full.

Honestly, JUSTICE for HiSuhyun because this was a CUTE time and there's no reason why they shouldn't have had multiple comebacks or EVEN a full mini aside from how YGE hates women.

And then there's 'Good Boy'. I remember this cringey ass song and even worse video/styling as the turning point of Tae's worst hair. And WHY, all because people complained about his unchanging but iconic mohawk. BB always did a lot to lean on outdated versions of black rap culture and this was the peak of that, oof!

And I guess nothing to say about Kyuhyun if only because I never got enough into SJ to learn of him/most of the members. Umm....great gowns, beautiful gowns? LOL

I think LAC was when I noticed AOA for the first time. Their earlier releases (besides their debut) always flew under my radar.

I hate Luv and still don't understand why it was so huge.

GD & Taeyang... Welp we should be thankful that they didn't bother us with more releases from them

I still love Like A Cat. One of the best tacky Brave Bros bangers filled with his own voice or whoever that male voice is.

these videos made me miss how 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen really served as live vocals. There was still some backing track but you can still clearly hear them singing during live performances. So much more freedom for ad-libs. 4th Gen is all about exhausting choreo and lip-syncing and it's pretty to look at, but kinda disappointing when you go to a concert since they can't dance in that level back to back for over an hour.

I'm checkin and apparently, fantastic baby was from 2012, so ofc we got the perf in 2012. but why did they also perform that in '13??
