K-POP Popularity Rankings [2026] (21–30)
DittoNewJeans22rank/position
NewJeans’ “Ditto” is one of their signature songs, released digitally in December 2022.
The choreography incorporates hip-hop elements and focuses on counts rather than lyrics, so maintaining rhythm that matches the song’s fast counts is crucial.
Every 1×8, movements using downs and isolations to keep the rhythm are repeated, making the choreography easy to memorize.
It’s a recommended track even for beginners, as you can work on it while learning the fundamentals!
Feel SpecialTwice23rank/position
TWICE is a nine-member group loved around the world.
Among their many hit songs, this title track from the mini album “Feel Special” is especially praised for its moving, heartfelt message.
Inspired by conversations with the members, J.Y.
Park wrote lyrics that portray the courage to stand up again thanks to someone’s presence, blending warmth and strength.
Released in September 2019, it topped the K-POP category in JOYSOUND’s 2020 annual rankings.
Its glittering yet lyrical melody is perfect for study breaks or when you want a boost of motivation.
Listening to this song—which makes you feel special—will surely give you the energy to push through just a little more!
Best Of MeBTS24rank/position
A song about love for someone special, included on the 2017 mini-album LOVE YOURSELF 承 ‘Her.’ Created in collaboration with world-renowned DJs The Chainsmokers, its dazzling EDM sound blends perfectly with the theme of love.
It’s danceable club music, yet the lyrics are catchy and easy to get into.
If your fave told you, “You’re the best,” you’d be completely disarmed.
The call-and-response that clicks with the audience is irresistible, too.
DynamiteBTS25rank/position
Released in 2020, a year marked by global challenges, this song by BTS is performed entirely in English.
Set to an upbeat disco-pop rhythm, it’s sprinkled with positive words.
Its memorable lines give you the courage to look forward no matter the circumstances.
The lyrics’ focus on cherishing small everyday joys is sure to resonate with listeners.
It’s a recommended track not only for Gen Z, but for anyone who wants a boost of energy.
Red FlavorRed Velvet26rank/position
Red Velvet’s lead track from their 2015 mini-album, “Red Flavor,” is a poppy, refreshing summer tune.
The choreography is also poppy and catchy, making it easy to imitate! It features rhythmic moves that ride the music, and dancing in a way that bursts with the beat suits the vibe of the song really well.
If you spread and rotate your arms broadly in time with the music, and pay attention all the way to your arms and fingertips to add dynamism, I think you’ll be able to dance in a way that comes close to the original!
ICYITZY27rank/position
ITZY is a girl group that enjoys high popularity in Japan as well.
One of their well-loved signature songs is “ICY.” The track centers on their passion for music, with powerful lyrics, sound, and choreography.
That said, many of the moves progress in sequence, making it a routine where it’s relatively easy to catch your breath between sections.
Another appeal is the inclusion of soft, feminine movements.
It’s recommended for those who can’t choose between cool and girly elements.
BANG BANG BANGBIGBANG28rank/position
A hyper dance tune by BIGBANG, whose pounding beat and insanely catchy hook pierce right through your ears.
Produced in June 2015 as part of the MADE project, the track features G-Dragon and T.O.P participating in both writing and composition.
Its polished sound—seamlessly fusing EDM and trap—shocked the K-pop scene at the time.
It clinched No.
1 on the Gaon year-end chart and also topped Billboard’s World Digital Songs.
The combination of a powerful beat and exhilarating melody makes it perfect for boosting your mood or accompanying a workout.
It’s a crowd-pleaser that will light up any party—a dangerously addictive must-listen for K-pop fans!
