Just another way to prove
I love you, when it's hard today
I'll lay back in my chair and find a way
And when you say that thing that you say
That makes me mad
I'll turn away, I'll turn away, I'll turn away

[PopReaper 2,122]

It's like, I just love a cowboy you know
I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad
But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a liTTLE FASTER????!!!

HyoYeon's solo track "Mystery" is a 'latin-style pop mix', will be promoted on music shows for two weeks. The song is also said to be an 'addictive rhythmic dance song'.

-

Some YG guy x Lisa from BLACKPINK thing (I think it's for clothes?)

-

MINX to re-debut early next year under Happy Face Entertainment with current 7 member lineup plus 2 additional members. The new group will be called "Dream Catchers".

-

AOA to have a Korean comeback in January, release their 1st full length Korean album.

I had such a weird kpop-related dream last night

You know how Cross Gene has this kind of "bad boy" concept going on? I dreamt they were actually these like kinda ugly, fat metalhead dudes with long hair but who still did the same music and choreography and everything. I watched them perform "Play With Me," then someone told me that "Noona You" (their only two songs I actually know  ) has a female artist featured on it. And I was like "wait... I don't remember that at all" but then it was actually a whole girl group named Sera (I think I got that from that song "Que Sera Sera") and they just sang along during the chorus. And then suddenly I was one of the members of that girl group, and we were asked to perform one of our own songs before performing with them. And the song we were about to perform was Tornado, by 4Ten  

But then I woke up before we got to do the collab.

Um... is someone else singing and she's just lip-synching?

Seriously though these rankings have become so stupid (and I guess always were) - something like 1/4 to 1/3 of the groups on the ranking didn't even promote this year. The top three basically did NOTHING. Like, I get that it's not just a ranking of the top-selling groups in any one year (those rankings already exist), but it doesn't react enough to actual developments in KPop.

They weren't in 2014's list? Rude. They had two singles.

I don't think TINT did either.

I don't really feel like checking 

And I just realized 4TEN isn't on this list - though yeah, I could see them being below groups like Brave Girls and Cosmic Girls. Maybe they'd make the top 50
