APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars73rank/position
A fresh party anthem born from the fusion of Korean culture and global pop.
BLACKPINK’s Rosé and American artist Bruno Mars deliver a pop-rock number that captures the exhilarating rush of the night and a hint of romance, inspired by a Korean drinking game popular among young people.
The powerful vocals and catchy choral work weave an addictive melody line that leaves a strong impression.
Since its release in October 2024, it has topped the Billboard Global 200 for nine consecutive weeks and achieved remarkable sales across Asia.
As the lead single from Rosé’s first studio album, “rosie,” the track has also become a favorite on social media, especially in dance videos.
It’s a fun song guaranteed to light up any party scene.
Polaroid LoveENHYPEN74rank/position
ENHYPEN’s 2022 track “Polaroid Love” is a heartwarming love song that likens fleeting sparkles and butterflies-in-the-stomach moments to a Polaroid.
Its pop- and R&B-tinged melody is catchy, and ENHYPEN’s sweet vocals laid over it are utterly enchanting.
Included on the repackage album “DIMENSION : ANSWER,” the song made waves with the viral TikTok “#polaroidlove” hashtag challenge and even won a Gold Award at the Creator Awards.
Since it captures the thrill of falling in love, it’s sure to hit home.
It’s also a perfect song to listen to with someone special.
ButterBTS75rank/position
Released as a digital single in 2021, BTS’s “Butter” became a massive hit, and its dance was embraced by many people.
The choreography, set to an electronic sound perfect for dancing, also became popular in Japan.
You may have seen the chorus choreography frequently on social media.
Since the steps are the main focus and the hand movements layer on top, it’s best to practice the steps first.
After that, if you check which step timing the hands come in on, you’ll nail it! The verse and the later dance sections feature sharp choreography, so there are many things to keep in mind—steps, body usage, contrasts in speed, and more—but if you master them one by one, you’ll be able to dance it!
FANCYTwice76rank/position
The title track of the April 2019 mini-album “FANCY YOU,” where electropop and synthwave fuse to create a sophisticated, mature allure.
It’s a pivotal song marking TWICE’s significant evolution.

Passionately singing about powerful feelings of love, the song’s video also captivates with a chic, futuristic aesthetic.
It’s a track that resonates with the emotions of a growth phase—wanting to show a new side while still cherishing who you’ve been.
The Truth UntoldBTS77rank/position
これは、2018年のアルバム『LOVE YOURSELF 轉 ‘Tear’』に収録されたバラードです。
Produced by world-renowned DJ Steve Aoki, the track features a simple sound that lets the beautiful voices of vocal line members Jung Kook, Jin, V, and Jimin resonate deeply.
With a title meaning “unspoken truth,” it portrays bittersweet emotions in a dreamy, dramatic way.
I find myself thinking how incredible it would be to have someone you could share feelings like this with, but it might be best not to overthink it and simply feel.
Beyond their vocal skill, the song’s expressive power draws you right in—an absolutely wonderful track.
