I was going to do a "Top 100 Kpop songs of 2011" ...but then I started.. -_____-

So I'm CHEATING! :P

And then cheating EVEN MORE. Eligible songs are ANY song with a music video or a performance on MuBank, MuCore, M Countdown or Inkigayo.. bwaahaa (Otherwise I'd end up trying to include pretty much every song from every album released this year.. -___- )

But I really wanted to include songs like Someday, You, On Rainy Days (etc).. There were quite a few songs w/o mvs that I would say were some of the top releases of 2011..or possibly even their greatest release everrrrr.. (U-KISS, I'm talking to you. So proud of them for Someday.. it is SUCH a gorgeous song.)

Just a note: I avoided Japanese remakes of Korean songs UNLESS..I felt the Japanese version somehow improved on the Korean version

TOP 3 Songs That I Hate to Love

1. Don't Spray Perfume - Teen Top *(July #5) 

Why: Because the music and the boys themselves look completely adorable and it gets SO STUCK IN MY HEAD.. But it's not so adorable once you find out what they're singing. What idiot thought it was a good idea to get a boyband singing about cheating on their girlfriend with an older woman (guilt free)?  -_____-
And then Chunji's stupid (adorable) smile at the end of the video just adds insult to injury.. 

2. Troublemaker - Troublemaker (*December #7)

Why:  I think the whistling in this song is so awesome. I ADORE Hyunseung. Some of Seung's choreo is really cool BUT.. I am soooooo not into watching Hyuna rub herself..or rub herself all over Seung.. Some of her choreo just looked like it was better suited for behind closed doors.

And I'm not going to lie, Hyuna's rapping/ singing just wasn't strong enough here to justify choosing her to duet with Seung on this song.. 

3. Bubble Pop - HyunA

Why: The song is actually really catchy. But the choreo doesn't fit the "playful" mood of the song... I think they could have done a LOT better..

And I didn't love her choreo for the stages.. This song sounds way too fun to be bending n squishing that much.. seriously.

(summary: it creeps me out knowing that ppl wank to this)
