How the songs were selected:
We used various stats to decide which songs to add to the rate, including the results of past Top Ten Tuesdays, Reddit upvote numbers, Spotify streaming numbers, and etc. We also held a songlist feedback survey on /r/KpopRates to help decide the songlist!
Now, without further ado, let’s introduce the 45 songs (and 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered by each artist’s debut date:
.
Eric Nam
CL
Henry
Sunmi
Hyolyn
Heize
Crush
Suran
Stella Jang
Kyuhyun
BewhY
HA:TFELT
Taemin
Zico:
Bermuda Triangle (ft. Crush & DEAN)
Shannon:
Jonghyun:
Amber
Shake That Brass (ft. Taeyeon)
Jamie
Bonus Rate:
The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate, including some songs from artists that otherwise wouldn’t be highlighted.
.
Heize – You, Clouds, Rain (ft. Shin Yong Jae)
Jun Hyoseong – Good-night kiss
.
The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list. If you choose to do so, you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating.

Rules:
-
You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you’ll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores.
-
Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not.
-
You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively – they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0).
-
Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so:
Amber – Shake That Brass (ft. Taeyeon): 8 okay, i’ll get my brass ready, but no dents in the merchandise
-
This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 – This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program.
-
You can also comment on each artist, like so:
Artist: HA:TFELT: not only is she not wearing a hat it’s not even made of felt
- For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that’s a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average; once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.}
SUBMITTING A BALLOT
Ballot submission: Reddit // Ballot template (Google Docs) // Ballot template (Pastebin)
If this does not work, or your ballot exceeds the character limit, you can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates above, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/kpoprates_ghost. Make sure, if doing this, that your document has sharing permissions enabled. You may also dm the ballot to u/RBSun (@solsys), u/AmeZim (@ame_zim), and u/kauai6 (@kauai6) on Discord!
