This was... so difficult. Switched a few so many times. I'm honestly really bad at picking favorites. My favorites tend to just be whatever I'm into at the moment. But! These are all songs I've consistently been listening to since they came out and I love them all so much.
They are... slightly in order? First 5 definitely are.
1. Burn It - Golden Child 2. Beautiful Beautiful - ONF
3. Popping - ONF 4. Wave - CIX
5. Goosebumps - ONF 6. Thunderous - Stray Kids
7. Luna - Oneus 8. Ugly Dance - ONF
9. Hush - Kim Sungkyu 10. Rock With You - Seventeen
Burn It has DEFINITELY been my favorite comeback this year. I still can't get over watching that music video for the first time.. oh how I wish I could watch it for the first time over again.
I'm not usually into 'summer songs' but WOW Popping is just.. so good. I listen to it ALL the time. I'm in a bad mood? Popping! Having a great day? Popping! Popping is always the answer!!!
Really glad Oneus had Luna. Black Mirror was alright but not really my thing (although Connect with US from that album... SO good). No Diggity took a while to grow on me, but Luna.. LUNA. Amazing.
Honorable mentions: Adore You - B1A4 (not really a comeback so didn't want to include it.. granted Hush isn't really one either lol), Calm and Passion - Nam Woohyun, Inside Out - Nu'est, Cinema - CIX (this would be like... 11th...), After School - Weeekly, Savage - Aespa, Maverick - The Boyz, You Make Me - Day6, Tail - Sunmi, Scars - Stray Kids, and Scream - Dreamcatcher.
Random story time: Several of these are my first comebacks with the groups! Beautiful Beautiful was my first comeback of ONF (which I watched when it came out), although as a Fuse it would be Ugly Dance. Similar thing happened with Golden Child - Pump It Up was the first comeback I was there for but properly, it was Burn It. Thunderous was my first Stray Kids comeback (shout out to Kingdom. They were the only group I didn't know going into Kingdom - loved all the other groups; left Kingdom loving skz more than the others lol). I guess I kind of still haven't had my first comeback with CIX as a FIX... I had LOVED Jungle when it came out last year (literally one of my favorite comebacks last year), but never got into them. Watched Cinema when it came out.. loved it but still didn't get into them. Watched Wave when it came out and WOW I adored it and had to get into them. Been into Sunggyu, Oneus, and Seventeen for quite a while now, so definitely not my first comebacks.
Anyway... I'll stop now (although I'm not convinced anyone read all that lol).
