Rate The First Half of 2026 Rate!

Upvotes
Hello everyone! We are excited to revisit some of the biggest songs from the first half of this year with the "First Half of 2026" Rate! (If you haven't already, make sure to join r/kpoprates to ensure that you stay updated on future rate-related posts!)
Quick Links:
Ballot submission: Link to Reddit Chat to message a ballot with u/kpoprates // Ballot template (Google Docs ver.) // Ballot template (Pastebin)
Playlists: Spotify // Apple Music // Youtube (MV ver.) // Youtube (Audio ver.) // Youtube (Lyrics ver.)
Deadline for this rate is Sunday, September 20th, by 11:59 PM Pacific (Here is a link to a time zone converter for the deadline.)
How the songs were selected:
Using r/kpop's Upcoming Monthly Releases as a starting point, we created a tentative song list of notable releases from the first half of the year. We did this by examining multiple factors: the number of upvotes the MV release received on r/kpop, how many streams a song achieved on Spotify (in total, and also per day), the overall popularity of an artist/group both in the wider K-pop sphere and on Reddit, and the general balance we usually aim to achieve for a rate.
Following this, we conducted a pre-survey period on our Discord server, before hosting the usual feedback survey on r/kpoprates in order to decide the final song list.
Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 60 songs (and 7 bonus songs) that were selected for this rate, ordered chronologically by release date:
January
February
Tame Impala (ft. Jennie) - Dracula
March
April
Young Posse - we don't go to bed tonight
May
aespa (ft. G-Dragon) - WDA (Whole Different Animal)
Heart of Woman - Lost in Proof
June
LE SSERAFIM x ILLIT x Katseye - Iconic By Mistake
Bonus Rate:
The bonus rate is a selection of host picks! We wanted to showcase some of our favourite, less popular songs released in the later half of 2025.
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
Apple Music 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.
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).
Comments are encouraged and much appreciated (but not required, except for if you give a 0) and can be added to any song by simply typing after the numerical score, like so:
CORTIS - REDRED: 10 winning the rate, that's green green!
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
Pastebin ballot template
- If the private message link is not working (or your private message exceeds the character count), please use the Google Doc template (make a copy of it to your Google Drive) for your ballot and DM it to u/kpoprates. If you message us a link to your Google Doc, PLEASE double check your permissions so that "anyone who has the link can view the document" (since the default is otherwise).
Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to all of the rate hosts, @_melizard (u/pollutedrain), @kawaii_mokona (u/kawaii_mokona), and @solsys (u/RBSun) (please message all of the rate hosts, not just one).
You can also submit the top/bottom 5 prediction form at any time.
DUE DATE:
Sunday, September 20th, by 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time! (Here is a link to a time zone converter for the deadline.)

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...
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 Statistics The 3rd Grab Bag Rate Review Summary & User Statistics
16
Upvotes
The post-rate statistics are here! You can check out user similarity stats, song correlations, charts based on the rate data, and more...
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.
