My Top Rated Kpop Albums of 2021 ~ Ash2theb

Hey Subbies,

I'm currently recovering from my first BTS concert. And also went to see Monsta X's The Dreaming which didn't have subtitles. On top of that artist are still releasing last minute ablums so I'm very overwhelmed lol. But I'm looking at Spotify and every year I feel a rush of anxiousness because I never liked to see my End of the Year Wrap-up list until winter break week but I did look at the new "Your artist revealed" playlist because I was curious what it was lol bc it's new feature. According to this new curated playlist Blackpink, Monsta X, A.C.E. (stop sleeping on them), and WOODZ (why wasn't he nominated this year for the End of the year Music Awards too?) made it to the top of the Annual List this year allegedly. I just don't want it's to be random this time since the wrap-ups stop counting from October to Till the New Year.

But now that I have been home a lot more and in the gym as well I have finally crafted my playlist hoping this year it will really reflect what I have been listening to. And I did not forget my favorite Title Tracks/ MVs of 2021 as well that I need also currently working on. Also, I found a really good website that keeps tracks of most international albums releases apply named AOTY. I'm still finding albums currently to review and my metric is about 7-8 songs or more based on the LP standard of 23 mins plus. And if anyone is wondering why albums with 7 or more songs get called "mini-albums" it is because it's based on the runtime not the quantity in some cases but k-pop companies use the number of songs as the qualifiers too so it can be a toss-up. I'm also thinking of adding a "mini-albums" post because there were a lot of good ones this year as well. Also, good luck trying to buy some of these albums because they are more likely sold out. Thankfully, you can order some exclusive ones since Sony aka UMG is distributing them to Target.
