Top Three K-Pop Songs of March 2016

At the end of each month, I’ll look back at my three favorite title tracks by k-pop artists. Unlike my end-of-year countdowns, jpop and Japanese releases by kpop artists are ineligible, though I will give the great ones a spotlight. For my top three tracks, I’ll take my own ratings into account, but there is a bit of wiggle room. Most important of all, I want to give my readers a chance to vote on their favorites!

March 2016 Overall Thoughts

Overall, March was… disappointing. It feels like it’s always a transition month, and as far as kpop goes, there’s usually a hodgepodge of styles and concepts. There weren’t a lot of big comebacks, and those that did happen ended up being slightly underwhelming. Luckily, rookie groups gave us a welcome ray of hope.

Month Cumulative Rating: 6.8
