Top Five K-POP Albums I'm Loving ATM

Goooood Afternoon my lovely readers! :) I just finished my Psychology A-Level Exam today and I'm sooooo relieved & happpy you have no idea! Weeeeeee~ now I have only one more exam for Chemistry and then I'm a free bird! Woohooooo! x) Okayokay I'm getting sidetracked and just rambling on now, Sorry!

Today's post is going to be on my top 5 kpop albums I've been listening to recently. (Just a side note I really do recommend SeoulFM online as it keeps me updated on the latest new songs & because it's a radio, it plays tunes all day e'erday. (Y) It's especially great when you're revising or just browsing online and you need something to accompany you. #foreveralone)

For this list, I haven't included any singles, just music albums and some songs in it that I'd recommend you guys to listen. To be honest if it were a combination of both singles and albums, the list would go on foreverrrrr, & let's be honest here.. you guys don't have the time to read pages of kpop songs and I'd be here forever listing down everysinglesongilove.  IT'S A CYCLE THAT WILL NEVER EVER END!
I exaggerate but you get my drift. 

Now onto the list, ;) 'finally.' :

#1. EXO-K/EXO-M - XOXO (Kiss&Hug)
Congratulations EXO for getting #1! Hahaha, I make it sound like I'm going to give them a prize or something xD (*here is an imaginary trophy & badges for all members... and here, you might as well take my heart too* LMAO xD)

Interesting cover choice EXO!
Very loveydovey <3 
AHHHHHHH! I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SONG in the album and trust me, it's rare to like every single song in an album.. but this one is seriously BOMB! & for that reason solely is why they are #1 in my Top 5. I like how they made a Korean and a Chinese version of the album, it makes me a very proud Chinese fellow for some reason. :D

Each song in the album is unique and no doubt very catchy too, I guess that's SM Entertainment for you mate! My top favorites are: the title track, Wolf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAal8xHfV0c Track 5 Let the Beast Out & Track 6 365 .. basically the whole album. I feel like there's a good range of songs in there and you'll definitely find at least one song worth repeating over & over again. I've been listening to this album 24/7 & I truly believe I'm actually fluent in Korean now, it's that addictive, like Candy Crush for all you sweet players. ;P

~It's getting hot in here.. so take off all
your clothes, literally. Jyp...
#2. 2PM - Grown
*Applause* Well done 2PM for getting 2nd place!! To be honest, it wasn't that hard for six hot guys to get into my list really... ahem, I mean their voices are like the epitome of angels and that is why they're on my list. :D But damnnn this album is SIK! (so sick that there's no 'c' in sick apparently... it's that hot people, believe me, the songs plus the guys ;P) If I were judging from singles only, Track 4 The First Date would of definitely been #1 but because I'm judging by albums as a whole, the song alone was not enough to grab the #1 spot. Although the whole album is really really good, I'm not in love with all the songs in it; then again, I do have to say that the songs in the album really highlights the voices of each member allowing them to ***shine bright like a diamond ***
I love Track 1 A.D.T.O.Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFnV7Y6iwrA which is the title track of this album & Track 4 The First Date. You guys should definitely check out the live performances of A.D.T.O.Y, it's HOTHOTHOT! My bais, Wooyoung, sure does know how to shake that butt. WOOOO~

#3. SHINEE - Chapter 2. 'Why So Serious -The Misconceptions Of Me' 
I've been loving Shinee's recent
album covers, they're really
creative and snazzy looking (Y)
No one can doubt SHINEE's ah-mazing singing skills and head bopping tunes, which is why they are in my top 5 landing them in 3rd place! I've always enjoyed SHINEE's music but this album... my friend, it's worth every second spent listening to it. You definitely will not be disappointed by it. Each song is packed with energy and just makes you wanna boogie it down... and yes, I am a poor victim of this serious crime. I'm listening to this album as I'm writing this and I'm telling you it's taking me 100x longer to write this post because I got the SHINEE FEVER!!

So unless you haven't been paying attention to what I have written so far, I adore this album and no doubt you can sense my undying love for it. Please! You guys have to check out this album, especially Track 4 Orgel & Track 5 Dangerous (Medusa II)... but if you do have the time to kill, check out the whole album! (Y)

#4. SISTAR- Give It To Me
Three seem to be awake just fine,
 but the one at the bottom left
 seems a bit sleepy to me :|
Fourth place goes to..... SISTAR! My days, if I were half as pretty as
them I'd be a happy bunny...

.... a girl can dream right?

Their title track 'Give it to me' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6XLNsJ9YrA has that moulin rouge-esque appeal that makes you feel glamorous and sexy, almost like you've been teleported back to the 1920's jazz era. 'Shimmy those shoulders gurll~ It makes you wanna pull out your highest heels and prance like a queen. I enjoy this track a lot especially when I'm having a solo rave in my room, but listening to this song really does make you question what it is that SISTAR are asking to be given... winkwink ;)

Another song I love from the album is Bad Boy, Track 4, although their pronunciation of 'bad boy' sounds more like 'ba bo.' Then again who can really complain... the song still sounds awesome either way!

#5. Chocolat - The Third Single Album
Meh.. the cover doesn't really appeal
to me.. it's too boring. Sorry Chocolat!
Finally we're down to 5th place! *wipes brow* I never thought we would make it here... but we're nearly done I promise! The fifth position goes to.... (not like you don't know already, you've read the sub title anyways) Chocolat!!! Although the album has only two tracks, they're both really good and catchy.The title track Black Tinkerbell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op8cDa0feXI is more mature and has a sexier and alluring feel to it compared to their past songs.The babies are growing up too fast! Whilst their second track All Night Long has a more hip hop vibe to it, both which are new concepts for Chocolat from their debut concept, the 'hey I'm cute' appeal. But hey, it's all about trying new things right?! I like it that they're experimenting with new concepts, it's going to help them build up a profile and gain new fans along the way (Y) Winnerwinnerchickendinner#

WE'RE DONE!! :) Well done you for getting this far, I'm very grateful you've taken the time to read all this. Hopefully it wasn't too boring & I know there are a bunch of you who are not interested in K-POP at all, but maybe through my recommendations you could develop an interest or maybe a sudden liking to the new genre? Thank you for reading. x
