Welcome back to Fan Chant, a weekly column for K-pop fans, followers, and newbies. This week, our first Fan Chant reader survey is live! There has never been a better time to subscribe to my complimentary newsletter to get Fan Chant delivered straight to your inbox each week.
Has “Smoothie” stayed at the top of your playlist? Can't get rid of the “Deja Vu” or are you obsessed with making everything look “easy”?
No matter what fandoms you come from, I want to hear from you! He Mid-year fan chant survey is now officially live. This is the first time we've tried something like this, but I can't wait to see what readers are excited about and maybe add some new favorites to my own playlists.
Here's the plan: Complete the survey and share it with all your friends. I'll compile the answers and post the results right here in the column in the coming weeks, and then share how the answers line up with my personal picks from 2024 so far.
There are a lot of fun things about K-pop (the spectacle, the timing), but one especially great feature is the frequency of releases. Fans rarely have to wait too long to hear new music. At the beginning of this year I was surprised by the fact that eternal sun It was Ariana Grande's first release in four years and she couldn't believe she used to live like this all the time. All this to say, there will already be a lot of good music in 2024, and I can't wait to highlight a lot of it right here.

I love Dean's voice, I love Gray's production, and I love the saxophone moment. I can't believe I've never heard this song before!
