K-POP Popularity Rankings [2026] (21–30)
You are not aloneSEVENTEEN21rank/position

SEVENTEEN’s “Not Alone” is a song that can gently connect with many hearts.
It carries a warm message about the presence of someone who supports you, even when you face hardship or loneliness.
Released on April 21, 2021 as their third single in Japan, the track was produced by member Woozi.
This song gives you the courage to look ahead and move forward step by step, and I especially recommend it to those standing at a turning point in life or feeling lonely.
It will surely give you a gentle push forward.
It’s a wonderful song that will stay close to your life.
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!
Best Of MeBTS23rank/position

It’s a bright electronic dance music track for which RM mainly devised the lyrical direction.
RM highly praised Jimin’s high notes, and it’s said to be an important song that broadened BTS’s musical range at the time.
There are many English lyrics as well, but it shouldn’t be difficult if you simply follow along with the words.
Also, since the song itself is a bright, refreshing love song, lifting your facial muscles as you sing will make your vocal tone brighter and help you produce high notes and falsetto more easily.
Try adjusting your vibe to match the song as you sing.
Feel SpecialTwice24rank/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!
DynamiteBTS25rank/position

If there’s one song that sent the world into a frenzy and changed the course of K-pop, it’s this one.
Its breezy, ’70s disco-inspired sound and irresistibly funky rhythm will get your body moving the moment you hear it.
The fully English lyrics carry a positive message that lifts up countless listeners.
Released as a single in August 2020, it achieved a global milestone, topping the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100 for a total of three weeks.
It was also featured in a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE commercial, making its catchy melody widely familiar.
When you’re feeling down or need a boost, put it on and your worries will melt away.
Experience the ultimate burst of energy from BTS for yourself!
