Sooo 2014 is half over, so I decided to document the top 50 songs of the first half of 2014! I started doing charts in February, so this doesn't include anything from January, unfortunately, but I still think it's kind of cool to compare songs across different months and see how well they did. This is all based on previous charts, which are based on my opinion each week.

Out of the 144 songs included on my top 20s since I started, these are the top 50. I decided this based on a point system; each song gets one point for every week it is on the chart, and points for its rank each week. If it's #1, it gets 20 points, 2 gets 19....all the way down to #20 on the chart which receives 1 point. After spending quite a while counting the totals, these were the results. I don't necessarily agree with them at this point in time but this is a measure of what songs I have liked these past 5 or 6 months, not what I like right now!

In January I will do 2014 Part 2 and then also do a 2014 altogether total so it will definitely be interesting to see what makes it to both of those! I'm looking forward to the future.

Notes: It should come at no surprise that Why I'm Not is first. What was surprising to me, however, was the fact that Yes or No wasn't higher than it is. Last Romeo made it to the top unexpectedly, and I was slightly shocked that Overdose was so high, because if I were to compare the top 5 songs I wouldn't necessarily put them in that order. But this seems to be for the most part pretty accurate, and it was fun to make, although extremely time consuming.

So this week was kind of an interesting one for me and I listened to alot of American music and sort of neglected the Kpop. However, I did listen to the new songs that came out and fell in love with Hyomin's song; I love the lyrics and the dance and just the whole song. I put Taeyang's version of Eyes, Nose, Lips back up because I've been appreciating it more this week than the English version. A is still catchy and I'm wondering how long it'll take to get annoying. I also really like Bigflo's song Delilah, which I didn't like at first but I think I just wasn't in the mood for it at the time. Davichi's song is amazing and I love it! Still listening to it a lot. Lately I've been in love with girl group songs so that's why there are a lot on the chart. Also, more girl groups are promoting recently as well which might be a contributing factor.

Sorry this is a couple days late.

I like keeping up with the Kara Project because it includes a lot of "reality" TV about kpop trainee life, which fans don't really get to see often..even if we do see 'reality' TV about our favorite groups it's usually not a lot of them practicing or being criticized for their work. You don't really get to see how most groups form and rarely get to see the process of what it takes to learn a song and dance and techniques for performing so it's interesting to see the advice Baby Kara are given with their practices, such as where to hold the mic and what kind of energy is needed on stage and such.

Here's round two of my album songs posts, featuring songs from ZE:A's First Homme, Taeyang's Rise, VIXX's single Eternity, U-Kiss's Mono Scandal, and Boyfriend's Obsession.

I like to work out, but doing cardio is hard for me just because I get soo bored. I tried to watch TV but then the ads come on and I lose all motivation. So I started to listen to music while I run which really gets me pumped when I choose the right songs! I thought I'd just share some of my favorite workout songs, and also a couple recent ones I've been using as well and just a little note about why they motivate me.
