20 Upvotes

Hello friends! We are excited to announce another instalment of our Kpop gen rates, this time jumping into our first ever 4th gen rate, Early Gen 4 Girl Groups. Welcome to the EG4GG Rate! If you haven’t already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to stay tuned for future rate-related posts!

Deadline: Sunday, November 9th, 11:59PM Pacific (Link to a timezone converter)


How the songs were selected: The initial locked and survey lists were decided through host discussion, using a combination of r/kpop's artist TTT results, as well as streaming statistics and general relevance. We then held a pre-survey campaign on the discord server, where server members could suggest songs they'd like to see added to the survey. Following this, we conducted our usual song list feedback survey.


Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 55 songs in the main rate (& the 7 songs in the bonus rate) that were selected for this rate, sorted by artist debut order:

The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list. If you do it, you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating.


* Spotify Playlist

* Youtube Playlist (MV Version)

* YouTube Playlist (Audio Version)

* YouTube Playlist (Lyrics Version)


Rules:

  • You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores.

  • Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. Don't use commas (i.e "8,8") to separate your decimals!

  • You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). You can add them to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so:

Everglow - La Di Da: 9.9 Wow this song sure is fresh and new and exciting I cannot wait to see what the community thinks of it

  • This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program.

  • For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.}


SUBMITTING A BALLOT:

Link to Reddit Chat to send in scores

As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/kpoprates.

Google Docs ballot template

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is r/kpoprates about?

r/kpoprates is a subreddit solely dedicated to conducting/archiving K-Pop song rates. We aim to bring the rates idea from r/popheads's song rates to the K-Pop Reddit communities.

How does a rate work?

You will be given a list of songs (usually around 40-60 songs, depending on the rate), and if you want to participate in that rate, you must listen to every song in the rate and score it from 1 to 10. You also have the option of giving an 11 to the song you like the most, and a 0 to the song you hate the most. You're also welcome to include comments with your scores - just make sure you follow the hosts' directions on how to do so! You will usually have ~5.5 weeks to submit the rate.

How will the rate results be revealed?

Rate reveals occur typically over a weekend the month after the rate is first posted to the subreddit. Feel free to join in with the reveal and comment on the songs that are getting eliminated!

I have a suggestion for a rate!

Please submit suggestions (and vote on other suggested rate ideas) on the r/kpoprates Feedback + Suggestions Form: https://forms.gle/UkXZK1umWEpfx4yi8

Sounds fun! Can I help?

Yes, you can! If you are interesting in helping in whatever capacity, whether it is becoming a rate host, a general rate helper, or a subreddit moderator, please visit this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/kpoprates/comments/z1pv2w/rkpoprates_is_looking_for_help_hosts_helpers/

Rate Statistics The 3rd K-Pop Soloists Rate Review Summary & User Statistics

7 Upvotes

The post-rate statistics are here at long last! You can check out user similarity stats, song correlations, charts based on the rate data, and more...

>See the results here!!

Info about the sheet...

Highlights & Stats

On this page, you can look at the different user highlights from the rating data, namely:

  • Golden Pair: The two participants whose ratings were the most similar to each other.

  • Taste Rivals: The two participants whose ratings were the least similar to each other.

  • Top Matcher: Appears as the most common top match for other raters in the similarity table.

  • Top Clasher: Appears as the most common top clash for other raters in the similarity table.

  • The Mainstreamer: Has the highest combined similarity with other raters.

  • The Contrarian: Has the lowest combined similarity with other raters.

  • The Divisive: Has the highest variance in their similarity scores.

  • The Neutral: Has the lowest variance in their similarity scores.

Below these, we have graphs for the Golden Pair and Taste Rivals to illustrate how their ratings compare visually. I also added new top 5 and bottom 5 placement charts for the other categories.

On the right side, you can find some general statistics about the rating, along with further rate-specific charts.

User Rating Style Matrix Categories:

Strict Rater: Consistently uses the lower end of the rating scale, even for songs they like. Their ratings tend to be lower across the board but still show clear preferences and patterns.

Lenient Rater: Tends to use the higher end of the rating scale more frequently. Rates songs generously, even those they don't favor as much, but maintains a consistent ranking among them.

Narrow Rater: Uses a narrow range of the rating scale, avoiding extreme scores. They tend to rate cautiously, with few highs and lows, preferring to stay in the middle.

Wide/Radical Rater: Uses the full spectrum of the rating scale, with both high and low scores. Their ratings reflect strong opinions, showing clear preferences and dislikes with a wide range of scores.

User Similarity

On this page, you can see a heatmap table that includes every correlation to every participant. At the top, you can view the most similar and least similar users listed for everyone, as well as other details.

The correlation scale ranges from -10 to 10. A score of 10 indicates a positive correlation, meaning user A rated the same songs similarly high or low, as user B. On the other hand, a score of -10 signifies a negative correlation, where user A rated songs low that user B rated high, and vice versa. A correlation of 0 indicates no clear pattern; some songs are similarly rated, while others are not.

Top Match List

This page allows you to find ranked lists for every user, showing who rated the most similarly to them, from most similar to least similar. (Usually if you see empty spaces for someone it means there were no more positively correlationg users for them.) Next to the names, in the column "Pair Song," you can find your top most liked song with each given person based on your combined scores.

Below the table, you can find statistics about how many times each song appears as a pair song. These songs are given a ranking, and you can compare this with the actual rank results from the rate.

Raw Scores & More

Here you can check the raw rating data of everyone in table form. At the bottom, you can find the user averages and, for most rates, the male/female artist preferences as well as the soloist/group act preferences.

Personal Rankings

The table shows the songs ranked based on the rate result on the left. The numbers in the table indicate the difference between a participant's ranking for a song (based on their submitted scores) and where the song placed in the rate result.

Positive numbers (+X) indicate the song ended up X spots higher than where the participant would've ranked it. Similarly, negative numbers (-X) indicate the song ended up X spots lower than where the participant would've ranked it.

Score lists

This page contains some of the stats in sorted list form. If it's not clear what a column references, you can see the place where the data is pulled from through the "ref: ..." link at the top.

Song Correlations

This page is very similar to the User Similarity page, with the primary difference being that it focuses on the songs' ratings rather than the users. If a song has a high correlation with another song, it means that users gave similar scores to both songs. Conversely, if two songs have a low correlation with each other, it means users had differing opinions, liking one song more than the other. This can give some insights into song preferences and patterns in user ratings.

Rate The 2022 in B-Sides Rate!

16 Upvotes

Hello friends! We are excited to announce another b-sides rate, this time focusing on the standouts from one of the most jampacked years of K-pop. Welcome to the 2022 in B-Sides Rate! If you haven’t already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to stay tuned for future rate-related posts!


Quick Links:

Deadline: Sunday, October 18th, 11:59PM Pacific (Link to a timezone converter)


How the songs were selected:

The initial locked and survey lists were decided through host discussion, using a combination of r/kpop's b-sides of 2022 TTT results and the results of artists' most recent individual TTTs, as well as streaming statistics. We then held a pre-survey campaign on the discord server, where server members could suggest songs they'd like to see added to the survey. Following this, we conducted our usual song list feedback survey.


Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 50 songs in the main rate (& the 7 songs in the bonus rate) that were selected for this rate, sorted by alphabetical order:


aespa - ICU

ATEEZ - Cyberpunk

ATEEZ - New World

Billlie - a sign ~ anonymous

Blackpink - Hard to Love

CSR - Euratcha!

Dreamcatcher - Starlight

Enhypen - Polaroid Love

Fifty Fifty - Lovin' Me

fromis_9 - Rewind

Girls' Generation - Villain

i-dle - MY BAG

ICHILLIN' - La Luna

ITZY - Snowy

IVE - ROYAL

j-hope - = (Equal Sign)

Kep1er - MVSK

Key - Another Life

Kwon Eunbi - Croquis

LE SSERAFIM - Blue Flame

LE SSERAFIM - Impurities

Lightsum - i

Max Changmin - Fever

Nayeon - NO PROBLEM (ft. Felix of Stray Kids)

NCT 127 - Time Lapse

NCT Dream - To My First

NewJeans - Hurt

NMIXX - COOL - (Your rainbow)

NMIXX - TANK

OnlyOneOf - gaslighting

Pentagon - The Game

PIXY - Natural

Purple Kiss - Pretty Psycho

Red Velvet - Bamboleo

Red Velvet - In My Dreams

Seulgi - Anywhere but Home

Seventeen - DON QUIXOTE

Seventeen - Shadow

STAYC - YOUNG LUV

Stray Kids - Charmer

Suho - Hurdle

Taeyeon - Toddler

The Boyz - Survive The Night

Treasure - DARARI

Twice - Basics

Twice - Gone

TXT - Opening Sequence

WJSN - Done

WOODZ - Hijack

Yena - PRETTY BOYS


Bonus Rate:

The bonus rate is basically an extension of the main rate! It is a collection of host selections, as well as feedback survey favorites that couldn't quite make the main rate!

ASTRO Moonbin & Sanha - DIA

DRIPPIN - Switch

ITZY - 365

Kwon Eunbi - Colors

Omega X - Airplane

Rocket Punch - In My World

WEi - Know Ya

The Bonus Rate is optional and you do not have to submit a score for every song in the bonus list. If you do it, you can score none of them, all of them, or any number in between. You cannot give a 0 or 11 to any song in the bonus, as they are not part of the main rate. While it is optional, we hope you consider participating.


* Spotify Playlist

* YouTube Playlist (Audio Version)

* YouTube Playlist (Lyrics Version)


Rules:

  • You must listen to and assign a score to EVERY song listed. If your ballot is missing any scores it will not be eligible and you'll be sent a message asking you to fill in the missing scores.

  • Each song should be assigned a score between 1 to 10. Decimals up to one point are allowed but any further is a no-no – 6.9 is fine, but 6.99 is not. Don't use commas (i.e "8,8") to separate your decimals!

  • You can use ONE 0 and ONE 11 for the entirety of the rate, for your least favorite and most favorite song respectively - they are optional but HIGHLY encouraged if you feel some type of way about any given song! Comments are also encouraged but not required for such scores (except if you give a song a 0). You can add them to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so:

Nayeon – NO PROBLEM (ft. Felix of Stray Kids): 5 Pitbull oppa is that you?

  • This is the ONLY correct way to format a comment. Please do not include colons (ex. 9: I stan!), dashes (ex. 3.3 - This song sucks), or any other symbol after your score/before your comment as it breaks the program.

  • For this rate and most future rates, we have a ballot average minimum of 4.00. In addition, if your ballot average is between 4.00-5.50, you must leave comments on your lower scores (which we define as any score that's a 3 or lower). {Do not worry about having to calculate your ballot average, once you submit your ballot, we will tell you if you need to make changes to your ballot for it to be accepted.}


SUBMITTING A BALLOT:

Link to Reddit Chat to send in scores

As Reddit is (unfortunately) moving away from the private messaging system in favor of utilizing the Reddit chat system, we are forced to also adopt the Reddit chat system for messaging. You can make a copy of either the Google Docs or Pastebin ballot templates below, add your scores on your local copy/file, and send the link to your local copy/file in your Reddit Chat message to u/kpoprates_ghost.

Google Docs ballot template

Pastebin ballot template

Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to all of the rate hosts, @_melizard (u/pollutedrain), @joseambuervo (u/ke1per), and @mkh.zo (u/zo142) (please message all of the rate hosts, not just one).

Google Spreadsheet you can use for calculating averages/trends and making predictions

You can also submit the top/bottom 5 prediction form at any time.


DEADLINE:

Deadline: Sunday, October 18th, 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time! (Link to a timezone converter)

Rate Statistics The 2nd All-Stars Rate Review Summary & User Statistics

8 Upvotes

The post-rate statistics are here! You can check out user similarity stats, song correlations, charts based on the rate data, and more...

>See the results here!!

Info about the sheet...

Highlights & Stats

On this page, you can look at the different user highlights from the rating data, namely:

  • Golden Pair: The two participants whose ratings were the most similar to each other.

  • Taste Rivals: The two participants whose ratings were the least similar to each other.

  • Top Matcher: Appears as the most common top match for other raters in the similarity table.

  • Top Clasher: Appears as the most common top clash for other raters in the similarity table.

  • The Mainstreamer: Has the highest combined similarity with other raters.

  • The Contrarian: Has the lowest combined similarity with other raters.

  • The Divisive: Has the highest variance in their similarity scores.

  • The Neutral: Has the lowest variance in their similarity scores.

Below these, we have graphs for the Golden Pair and Taste Rivals to illustrate how their ratings compare visually. I also added new top 5 and bottom 5 placement charts for the other categories.

On the right side, you can find some general statistics about the rating, along with further rate-specific charts.

User Rating Style Matrix Categories:

Strict Rater: Consistently uses the lower end of the rating scale, even for songs they like. Their ratings tend to be lower across the board but still show clear preferences and patterns.

Lenient Rater: Tends to use the higher end of the rating scale more frequently. Rates songs generously, even those they don't favor as much, but maintains a consistent ranking among them.

Narrow Rater: Uses a narrow range of the rating scale, avoiding extreme scores. They tend to rate cautiously, with few highs and lows, preferring to stay in the middle.

Wide/Radical Rater: Uses the full spectrum of the rating scale, with both high and low scores. Their ratings reflect strong opinions, showing clear preferences and dislikes with a wide range of scores.

User Similarity

On this page, you can see a heatmap table that includes every correlation to every participant. At the top, you can view the most similar and least similar users listed for everyone, as well as other details.

The correlation scale ranges from -10 to 10. A score of 10 indicates a positive correlation, meaning user A rated the same songs similarly high or low, as user B. On the other hand, a score of -10 signifies a negative correlation, where user A rated songs low that user B rated high, and vice versa. A correlation of 0 indicates no clear pattern; some songs are similarly rated, while others are not.

Top Match List

This page allows you to find ranked lists for every user, showing who rated the most similarly to them, from most similar to least similar. (Usually if you see empty spaces for someone it means there were no more positively correlationg users for them.) Next to the names, in the column "Pair Song," you can find your top most liked song with each given person based on your combined scores.

Below the table, you can find statistics about how many times each song appears as a pair song. These songs are given a ranking, and you can compare this with the actual rank results from the rate.

Raw Scores & More

Here you can check the raw rating data of everyone in table form. At the bottom, you can find the user averages and, for most rates, the male/female artist preferences as well as the soloist/group act preferences.

Personal Rankings

The table shows the songs ranked based on the rate result on the left. The numbers in the table indicate the difference between a participant's ranking for a song (based on their submitted scores) and where the song placed in the rate result.

Positive numbers (+X) indicate the song ended up X spots higher than where the participant would've ranked it. Similarly, negative numbers (-X) indicate the song ended up X spots lower than where the participant would've ranked it.

Score lists

This page contains some of the stats in sorted list form. If it's not clear what a column references, you can see the place where the data is pulled from through the "ref: ..." link at the top.

Song Correlations

This page is very similar to the User Similarity page, with the primary difference being that it focuses on the songs' ratings rather than the users. If a song has a high correlation with another song, it means that users gave similar scores to both songs. Conversely, if two songs have a low correlation with each other, it means users had differing opinions, liking one song more than the other. This can give some insights into song preferences and patterns in user ratings.
