can you make a list for most viewed kpop soloist 2022 maybe once a month?

[@huangmaobaimao]

i feel like people are getting tired of groups and started to pay attention to soloist more

[@줄리오-o9u]

BAP 정말 컨셉도 실력도 진짜 Artist !!! 정말 안타깝다......

[@FairyRay]

2012 was crazy. Ailee, B.A.P, BtoB, EXO, NU'EST and VIXX all made their debut in this year and left their mark in the Kpop world!

[@knowledge-girl]

"Fantastic Baby" was the song that got me hooked on K-pop.

[@KaworuNagisa]

I feel so happy watching this video, so many amazing and memorable songs that got released in 2012. And as a boyband stan, many of my faves made their debut in this year: BtoB, B.A.P, VIXX, EXO. I also feel very proud of Infinite and how often they come up in these videos - they deserve so much love and admiration for their catchy music and great performances. And a special shoutout to our ever-shining SHINee who I love so much.

[@KaworuNagisa]

Extra thanks to K-ville who added so many awesome songs towards the end who otherwise would have been missing from this video.

[@susan1134]

[@blondboybc8552]

2012 had so many epic songs by amazing groups: Infinite, EXO, PSY, Vixx, BigBang, Shinee, BAP, BTOB, Girl's Generation and so many more! Fave of that year: 4MINUTE -- Volume Up!

Addition for groups debuted in 2012: 1. Fiestar - Vista 2. 100% - Bad Boy 3. Spica - Painkiller 4. C-Clown - Solo / Far Away...Young Love 5. Crayon Pop - Saturday Night 6. A-JAX - One 4 U / 2MYX 7. EvoL - We Are A Bit Different 8. 24K - Palliwow 9. D-Unit - Love Me

[@張花花-h9x]

So sad…for 100% and Spica 😢

[@kojayeoja]

I've been in the Kpop game since like at least 2009 and somehow I missed C-Clown, but now I'm obsessed with DPR Ian, so 🤷 100%'s Bad Boy is amazing, flawless debut. EvoL's We Are A Bit Different hit, well, ~different.

[@acesrusselcloud5676]

Teen top is damn underrated. They are one of the groups that are in the top tier in dancing. All my favs. But my all-time fav groups are T-ARA, U-KISS, and BEAST. Their songs are still on my playlist.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

They started getting hugely popular around 2013 and it lasted until after 2015

This was the true color of KPOP No mainstream music. It was so unique and different. The GOLDEN ERA. Take me back. I still have B.A.P music on repeat. Second generation artists made Kpop a GLOBAL PHENOMENON 💅

[@gorgeousstunning3880]

I hope there's mainstream ofc back then

[@Imperial_Dynamics]

Many good songs in this video. My favorite ones: Russian Roulette by Spica News by 9Muses Ticket by 9Muses Lovey Dovey by T-ARA Flashback by After School Volume Up by 4Minute Day by Day by T-ARA

[@Anonymous-mo7jz]

Shinee's Sherlock still boils my insides with excitement!! Shinee discography aging like fine wine * chef's kiss * Edit: Also love how I would choose these songs over the current generation's songs! 2nd gen was a powerhouse and the 3rd gen debuts are the icing on the cake!

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

[@Steffenm700]

Oh my, i love these songs❤ one of my favorite years in music. My favorite 2012 K-pop song is probably Son Dam Bi - Tears Falling and Nu’est - Face. 2012 was fantastic, pretty much every song sounded good and energetic, not only k-pop. It was probably the peek for Dance-pop and the start of even more beaty (if that’s a word) EDM tracks to come in 2013-2014

[@LashanaKaos]

So many power singers around this time. Absolutely solid belters.

[@helenas7948]

One of the best years in kpop.

[@АлександрДолматов-с2э]

PSY - Gangnam Style This song is timeless. Ailee - I will show you There are women in Korea who are prettier than Ailee. There are women in Korea who sing better than Ailee. But in terms of the sum (vocal + beauty), few can compare with Ailee. KARA - Pandora 4MINUTE - Volume Up APink - Hush T-ARA - Sexy Love Orange Caramel - Lipstick These songs will be playing in my player for many years to come.

[@LongPham-yg1lc]

Most iconic year! And the year Psy introduced lots of new Kpop fans to this amazing Kpop world. Can't believe that it has been 10 years ago now. I was so blessed being able to withness all of it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@sakuralu9162]

El año 2012 siempre será recordado por haber tenido muchas canciones exitosas, debuts increibles y muchos momentos memorables en el kpop, a veces me gustaría regresar a ese año y volver a vivir la emoción por cada comeback y debut. Siempre recordaré a todos los grupos que ya están separados con mucho cariño y anhelando un reencuentro en el futuro.

[@Heart_Nattie]

I refuse to believe that Baby Good Night is 10 years old already.

[@02Yuzuha]

The quality of the kpop songs of that 2012 is really the best, so good and catchy, you could tell that each and every one of the producers and groups put their heart into it. For me the golden year of kpop.//La calidad de las canciones de kpop de ese 2012 es realmente la mejor, tan buenas y pegadizas, se notaba que todos y cada uno de los productores y grupos pusieron su corazón en ello. Para mi el año dorado del kpop.

[@amenikabtni1506]

Super Junior 👑 "Sexy Free & Single" is my anthem 🔥 I remember I was so obsessed with SPY too, it's such a fun song! But my favorite songs were the B-sides : "Day Dream" , "From U" , "Someday" , "A Goodbye" , "Only U" , "Bittersweet" , "Haru" 💙

[@whisperingbird1110]

BAP's No mercy deserved to be in the video! Just saying. I feel old af knowing these songs were released 10 years ago and I know and still listen to most of them 🥲

[@lohisnormalguy9355]

'Oppa Gangnam Style' is the most iconic Kpop song in 2012. It had made Kpop music become mainstream music in international level.

[@sakuralu9162]

Cuanta nostalgia me da la 2da y 3ra generación del kpop 😭😭😭😭😭😭, se que los años pasan por lo tanto las generaciones y la música tiene que avanzar pero es imposible no recordar todo lo que se vivió en el kpop de esos años. Esa emoción por conocer más de la música de cada grupo y verlos a ellos en cada comeback con nueva imagen es algo que ya no siento tanto con los grupos actuales, supongo que ya están muy niños y yo ya toy vieja jekkekekkeke. Eso sí cada generación se disfruta de manera diferente aún sigo en el kpop y son pocos los grupos que me gustan y eso que son buenos, pero es un placer y me genera alegría escuchar que alguien de la 2da y 3ra generación tendrá comeback. El kpop será para siempre una parte importante de todos los que tuvimos, tienen y tendrán la suerte de conocerlo.

Can't believe nobody chose Power. Glad you guys keep filling in any missed major releases from the year.

I definitely miss this generation!! Variety of concepts like cute, sexy, unique, quirky, party, powerful, revenge, growling, masculine, etc.. and the new generation is great, but most of the new groups are just teen crush or girl crush. Boy groups always have the same concept, no more colorful or fun concept.. Girl groups abandon cute concept.. companies try to attract more listeners so they run for the current trend.. p.s: been listening to Kpop since Wonder Girls here :( feel so old now..
