[Weekly KPOP Chart] Week 1 of July 2025

Welcome to the next edition of the Weekly KPOP Chart posts. This is for Week 1 of July 2025, which spans 29 June to 05 July 2025. Can you believe that this past week was the start of the second half of 2025?

You may have noticed that my ‘at a minimum’ plan for the blog didn’t come through this past week. That was because I was unwell throughout the week. I am all better now, so hopefully this is the week it starts and I can finally make a dent on my forever growing list of songs and albums to review.

ICYMI – Favourite songs from November 2024 to June 2025

Around 1 July of each year, I make two posts. The first lists (in no particular order) my favourite songs from the year thus far (plus a few additional songs), while the second lists the top songs from each Weekly KPOP Chart post over the past year. If you missed either of these posts, you can find them below!

• [Special] KPOPREVIEWED’s Personal Favourite Songs from the 1st Half of 2025 & more
• [Special] KPOPREVIEWED’s Weekly KPOP Charts – Top Songs from July 2024 to June 2025

What else am I listening to?

Each week, I spotlight a song not on the Weekly KPOP Charts that I’ve been listening to over the past week. I haven’t been doing this segment for the last couple of weeks because I haven’t had enough time to identify a track to feature. However, it is back now and I hope it stays for a long time.

This week’s song is a very recent song, but not one that I have included on the charts (as it is an K-Drama OST). It is HI-BOYZ’s When the Day Comes from the K-drama Resident Playbook.

Non-Korean Song of the Week

Each week, the top-ranked non-Korean Song on the Weekly KPOP Chart is spotlighted (as this is an area I haven’t been focusing on as much on my blog lately). The non-Korean song of the past week is Stray Kids’ Hollow.

The Chart

fromis_9’s LIKE YOU BETTER ranks in the top spot this past week once again! Congratulations to fromis_9!
