What a year it's been

It's here! It's finally here! Listen to Stan Ontology crown the Taemin Of The Year, the peaks and nadirs of NCT, celebrate the output of some special soloists, revisit the Summer of Disco, and finish with a warm hug and a staggering, wild-eyed prophetic track about the vibe of this bizarre year, covering all of our favourite stuff in K-pop along the way.

You can listen to all of the tracks that we discuss a listen via this end-of-year playlist - we've picked our favourite performances of these songs, but as always, there's a wealth of choreo vids and alternate versions we leave for you to find, dear listener.
