[@Neroli66]

That transition from #2 to #1 was perfect!!

[@ducchung_0990]

One of the best years of K-Pop. There are many many good songs.

[@jholetroblesvergara]

This might be the only year that everybody know who's gonna be #1 😅

[@jotambor6360]

Yes 😂

[@SAMBLlNK]

Also 2018

[@nwjnstwice721]

2013 is pretty obvious too

[@henrykoch-bf6yp]

Gangnam Styleeee

[@rokitgaylilgayne5033]

2018 is so obvious also

[@HoshisBoyfriend]

Please don't by K.Will is such a special moment in Kpop history

[@jeprendsmaplume4608]

The best year : B1A4, BAP, Block B, UKISS, Infinite, ... I miss it

[@kaylynw3442]

2012 the year I got into kpop. I was there for Vixx, B.A.P, Btob, jj project, and EXOs debuts. I went in and never looked back.

[@Nuulth]

2012 = Gangnam Style era

[@dejanivandic6785]

They all said lets not make a bad song this year Shinee, TTS, Psy, Boa, Aliee, Bigbang, SNSD, Exo, 2ne1, Fx, Bap, T-ara.... so many good songs

[@hOneylemOn97]

Teentop really made lots of songs in that year

[@mila-.-]

what a great year in music 👏👏

[@dimmmeli6998]

The best year in the K-pop

[@noctivagantlibertine]

Sigh now I'm reminded of the pain of half or more of VIXX's views being erased when their second channel deleted the MVs 😭So many of the songs had more views on that channel than the Jelpi channel

[@Myrawa]

My favorite year! B.A.P I miss you very much 🤍

[@JiJi-sr9rv]

T-ara🎉🎉🎉

[@DebZava]

Not admin reminiscenting the beginning of this channel with the transition from Hyuna to gangnam style lol

[@spectral__]

Baby VIXX

[@javodd]

Please don’t by kwill is a must watch mv , trust me u won’t regret 😁

[@SpikeZOM]

Well who doesn't like GANGNAM STYLE to this day? FANTASTIC BABY is also still played to this day at clubs, plus my favorite LOVEY-DOVEY by T-ARA -- Truly a great year for K-POP, let's enjoy it for many years to come. :)

[@VIXXN6]

Wow even from the 100th list, the song is considered popular and well known, unlike today's list where people start recognising songs only from top 20th/10th list. This just proves view is not everything back then, this could be literally top 100th most listened kpop songs in 2012. It's amazing that good songs is in every top 100,90,80,70,60,50,40,30,20, and 10th list in this video🎉

[@Mar315.]

Face by nu’est is the most iconic debut song fr !!!

[@annasilviatv7914]

You know they hella popular when they reach 10M

[@vanessaw95]

this is war has just 10 million views??? This song is a MASTERPIECE

[@slivercoat6678]

Vixx Boyfriend infinite teen top bap Ukiss mblaq 🔛🔝

[@sfmk5962]

officially missing you, too is one of my fav song

[@estoyconjam]

2012 El año que el KPOP hizo historia. 2012 El año que el KPOP dió un giro de 180° 2012 El año que la 2da generación cambió toda su estética. 2012 El año de la MADUREZ de la 2da Generación. 2012 El año que la 2da generación estableció las bases de la 3ra, 4ta y futuras 2012 El reinado y triste "final" de T-ara 2012 KPOP MUNDIAL 2012 HIZO HISTORIA!

[@susan1134]

Y con muchos debuts increíbles. El de NU'EST, VIXX, AOA, EXID, EXO, BTOB, etc.

[@grace.1123]

cannot believe I had to start off the video seeing VIXX in #98... Superhero deserved so better. like wtf lol

[@monochromemoses8894]

[@reylergutierrez5668]

FX su mejor momento MBLAQ mandaba BIG BANG arrasaba T-ARA Sus últimos grandes exitos antes de la debacle EXO en sus inicios la mejor unit de todos los tiempos ORANGE CARAMEL Y PSY su canción fue el último Ladrillo en el Imperio llamado KPOP lo consolido definitivamente

[@Sweety_zelly]

t-ara

[@KpopRoundUp]

Bigbang

[@Estefanya__0404]

Mucha nostalgia 🥺🥺 🎶✨💃🎶♥️🌸♥️🌸

[@eyamg]

The best year in the kpop history. This video brought back so many memories 😭 thank you

[@yooojoo]

this is filled with my 2nd and 3rd gen faves huhu

[@jeshlow666]

Uno de los mejores años de K-Pop 🖤🖤🥹👏👏✨✨

[@persephonefairchild1059]

It's amazing how the charts from this year are so drastically different from the updated charts from over a DECADE ago. The #100 song on the 2023 list has MILLIONS more views than #100 on this list and that's a CRIME! All the baby kpop stans need to go back and listen to some of these BOPS!!!

[@persephonefairchild1059]

also Sherlock (Clue+Note) by SHINee was the best song of the year and it still goes so hard

[@DebZava]

SM biggest MV of 2012 is from f(x) and the company still treated them like trash. So dumb

[@ВладимирШпаков-п7л]

There are so many iconic songs, a third of them appeared in my playlist before this genre became really popular.

[@slivercoat6678]

Janus ☝️🔛🔝 boyfriend

[@calripplebear1293]

This is the year my eyes were opened to the amazing world of K-pop. Thanks Psy!

[@sareku8491]

Estas canciones me causan demasiada nostalgia este fue el año que inicié a escuchar kpop, soy fan de kpop por muchas de estas canciones

[@susan1134]

[@kumbawolf]

The seamless transition been 2 and 1 is chef's kiss! Unexpected but a no brainer at the same time.

[@solismoyaedgardo]

nice transition from #2 to #1 lol

[@Ougagagoubou]

Thought I'd recognize most songs, but I find I had bias already at the time to mostly notice girl group releases. Knew all of them immediately but probably "only" recognized like 60 songs overall.

[@SoGood-u5l]

thanks 2012

[@mohamadhos1218]

3 hit songs just in one year (fantastic baby , oppa is just my style , gangnam style). There is no year has that many hit songs like that year (2012)

[@ivebptwicetheholetrinity3466]

Dynamite hylt i cant stop me wannabe etc in 2020?

[@mohamadhos1218]

@@ivebptwicetheholetrinity3466 After 2016, being a trend has become easier. At that time (1990-2012), it was difficult to find people who knew kpop.

[@takefive656]

Iconic iconic iconic... man back then so many good songs got views not just groups with big fanbases that the general public and casual kpop listeners never heard of... Teen Top was BUSY in 2012!

Probably one of my favorite earlier years in kpop for me. Can't believe it's been 15 years for me now.
