Honorable Mentions

Songs 50-41

40. NMIXX – Sprint

There are a few huge risers on this 12 months’s record. Sprint‘s prickly sound didn’t hit me instantly however these tight harmonies and funky percussion received me over huge time in the long term. (full overview)

39. Dragon Pony – Pop Up

I really like an upstart rock band — particularly one who composes such energetic, life-affirming anthems. Pop Up was one of many 12 months’s largest surprises and bodes effectively for the group’s future. (full overview)

38. Waker – Atlantis

I’m unsure there are a lot of who keep in mind Waker. They debuted early within the 12 months and barely promoted, but Atlantis stands as certainly one of 2024’s greatest boy group choices. It’s shiny and ethereal and has a fantastic sense of carry. (full overview)

37. Vahn – Feeling (ft. BLKZEN)

NINE.i dominated final 12 months’s countdown, however and not using a group comeback in 2024 they’re unable to duplicate that success. Fortunately, member (and chief songwriter) Vahn graced us with this highly effective pop/rock anthem. (full overview)

36. from20 x Whats up Gloom – Your Love

There are many cool issues occurring inside Ok-pop’s indie scene, however none are fairly as gratifying as from20 and Whats up Gloom’s embrace of dance music. This duet encapsulates the upbeat, optimistic vitality that fuels every of their thrilling discographies. (full overview)

35. Taemin – Horizon

Taemin has topped this record earlier than and he continues to churn out reliably nice pop music. Horizon pulls him into the synthwave style together with his regular aptitude and untouchable charisma. (full overview)

34. xikers – Bittersweet

xikers are at their greatest when rock bombast matches the depth of their swagger, and Bittersweet bolsters its spiky vitality with a rollicking good glam rock beat and ultra-dramatic finale. (full overview)

33. Kiss Of Life – Midas Contact

Many 2024 songs echoed sounds popularized within the early 2000’s, however few did this in addition to Midas Contact. The manufacturing slaps and the ladies buoy it with loads of perspective. It’s enjoyable, recent and grows extra addictive with every pay attention. (full overview)

32. TWS – Oh Mymy: 7s

When this track first dropped on the very starting of the 12 months, I feared its chanted refrain would portend one other rookie group allergic to melody. How unsuitable I used to be! And the way splendidly Oh Mymy: 7s aged with time! The frantic ascent throughout the bridge is a specific spotlight. (full overview)

31. ZEROBASEONE – Sweat

I’m a sucker for summer season songs, even when they’re launched in the midst of… April. ZEROBASEONE missed the boat on scheduling, however Sweat‘s upbeat charms remained robust all through the season. (full overview)
