On the finish of every month, I look again at my three favourite title tracks by Ok-pop artists. I take my very own scores into consideration, however there’s a little bit of wiggle room as sure songs are likely to develop or fade.
December 2025 General Ideas
Nicely… I hate to say it however there are not any “prime three songs of December” this yr.
That is the primary time this has ever occurred on The Bias Record. I imply, December is at all times a really weak time for brand new music and little or no will get launched, however I can normally cobble collectively a listing that doesn’t really feel utterly indefensible. Nevertheless, I’ve received nothing that I’ve listened to greater than a few instances this month.
So somewhat than fill a “prime three” with songs I don’t take pleasure in that a lot, I believed I’d do one thing totally different this time. As a substitute of the highest three songs of this month, I’ll submit my prime three title tracks launched throughout any December from 2008 to 2025. This nonetheless isn’t a really spectacular longlist, however not less than it provides us a killer prime three!
Surprisingly, December is normally fairly robust for J-pop. I’m undecided why that’s, however there are sometimes a variety of huge releases. Possibly they merely want fodder for their very own year-end music festivals? My prime three of the month all ended up in my countdown for the yr.
Often as we stay up for the brand new yr in Ok-pop, I attempt to reframe issues optimistically, and I do really feel that means concerning the yr usually. Nevertheless, January’s already regarding me. Only a few comeback bulletins have dropped and the teasers we’ve gotten up to now have been lower than thrilling. I hope the month flips round to turn into an sudden spotlight.
