Please, just a bit more patience. There are some circumstances
which are preventing me from finishing my current project, I planned to end it
before November but I'll be happy if I could finish with it until January...
So please wait for my drawings a bit more, I miss drawing VIXX
faces so much too :(
But of course I'm not able to work endlessly, so I have to stop
sometimes for a break. And in these breaks I'm translating MyDol for Hungarian Starlights, who can't speak
neither English, nor Korean. And in addition, I'm making my top 40 K-Pop songs
list every month (I was thinking about to set a list twice in every month too,
but I don't know if I had that kind of time^^'). I have a break now again,
that's why I came here to talk a bit about this list. To be exact, I'll tell
you, how can a song get a spot on my list.
So let's get started :D
To get a spot on my top 40's list, there are some requirements
which has to be matched by every song.
1.) First of all - and that's the most important - I have to like
the song (how surprising :D)
2.) When I hear this song, I have to listen to and recognize it,
not only hearing. What am I saying with that? While travelling inside the city
I'm always listening to music, but I'm thinking deeply too. There are some
songs that I like, but I don't go along with their lyrics or rythm while
thinking, they're just background musics for my thoughts. To get on the top
40's list, a song have to pull me out a bit from the ocean of my thoughts, and
at least for a few seconds bring me back to the reality.
That's it! It seems to be easy isn't it? :D
Well, to make the exact ranking, I'm considering more than these
two requirements. Let's see how can a song make a spot in the range 40-21!
In this range there are songs that I generally like, and from now
on, the honorary favourite - my first K-Pop song -, SS501 - Love ya, will get
it's stable rank on at least 40th place. Of course If they wouldn't have place
in better ranks, VIXX's Voodoo Doll and Teen Top's Rocking would be there too.
What means I generally like?
Songs that I won't skip even if I have mood for another song or I
expected to get some other songs from my list.
Okay, so we made it into the lower half of the toplist with only
this small criteria. Let's take a look at the places 20-11th!
Here you can find my currently most listened songs. These are the
songs that I often replay after their end. It's not accidental that here are a
lot songs marked as "New on list", because I easily become a fan of a
new song on my playlist, since I'm really happy when I find a song that is good
enough to refresh my playlist a bit. New album releases from my favourite
groups always fills this range with songs.
But to get a spot here, a song have to show more than this. It's
not rare that I know some parts of the coreography of these songs, or some parts - or
even the whole - lyrics. So these are songs I'm singing and dancing along with.
We reached the top 10 :D Here are the songs I'm going
"crazy" while listening to them. It doesn't matter where am I, I'm
doing dance moves - but in moderated way of course -, singing along with the
lyrics - usually with closed mouth -, I often know the whole lyrics to them and
it's a must to know dance moves from at least the refrain.
Let me intrduce each of the places one by one.
10. It's a tough place... There can be a song slowly falling out
from the top 10, or a song which is climbing into it. It's rare to find a
"New on list" marked song here.
9. Similar to 10th place, but a bit more dangerous. I can kick out
a song from the 9th place easier than the 10th.
8. A place for usually climbing songs. It's common to jump here
from the 10-15th place.
7. It's a weird position. If a song falls out from the top 5, it
often ends the falling here. And there's an exact reason, why I put them here
instead of 6th place :D
6. A stable place. The song here is so strong, and my favourite
from that band, so it's hard to be kicked out from here. It has a disadvantage
too, since there's no escape from here. The song here is not able to climb
and too good to fall. A song which get this place will hold it for a long long
time...
5-4. The reason why I put them together is their similarity. Here
you can find the most fanned songs of the month. In each month I have a song
that I listened to sometimes for hours without stop. This song ends up on the
5th or the 4th place on my list, kicking out the one which was standing here.
It's the most dangerous place, since if a new song comes, the previous song
here is usually kicked from the whole list, and disappear from the top 40.
We are in the top 3! :D Along with the current (2014. Nov.) 4th
place, my ringtones are choosen from here.
In this range there's a plus requirement: a feeling.
I don't know if you had this kind of feelings like me, but believe
me, it's wonderful. When I'm listening to these songs - it doesn't matter how
many times I've heard them before - I suddenly got the feeling of inspiration,
and it's like... Like when a lot of kittens are running circles on your back
with their cold paws :3
3. The first 3 songs are hard to beat, they
are the ultimate favourite ones. The 3rd song changed the most during my lists. This song always cheers me up, and make me move a bit bouncing, it doesn't matter how disappointed or sad I am.
2. Deciding between the 1st and the 2nd was always a hard choice.
To be the second on my list is a hard thing, since I'm careful about these
places near the top. The song here is strong and nearly unbeatable. The feeling I get from this song is very strong, sometimes makes me freeze for a moment.
1. Finally the first place. The song here is THE favourite one.
This song gives me not only that feeling I was talking about a little above,
but strength too. Strength to move on and take the next step, strength to
endure and not to stop even if I wanna give up. Yeah, a song is able to do
things like this.
Well, there's something I want to point out. The requirement
"I'm going "crazy" while listening" is perfectly fit the On and on from VIXX. Then, why is it falling slowly on my list? It's now in the
range 40-21. It has a reason too. This list is a bit fake, because I'm trying
to make it from various artists, as much as I can. If I made my real top 40
list, then... Well, the places 20-1 would be filled with only VIXX, and then
the remaining 20 place would be B.A.P, Teen Top and BTS. So that's why did On
and on get this low place on the list, however, this is the song I know the
coreography the best - and let's not count Teen Top's Rocking, since I learned
the whole coreography to it, not only remembering from MVs and dance practice
videos.
I hope you liked this "short" article about my monthly top 40's list^^
If you're curious and haven't seen any of my top lists, here you can find them all (I'll upgrade with new lists):
July (This was my first one so sorry for the terrible editing, others are better and shorter. It also doesn't follow what I just wrote here)
See you later,
안녕히 계세요!^^
