1. GOT7's Jackson Wang - 'Blue'

'Blue' is a dreamy, meditative masterpiece that shines the spotlight on Jackson's brilliant musicality. The primary motif of the music video is falling endlessly, but rather than anxiety, it evokes calmness, and so does the song. This is Jackson Wang in his element, and needless to say, 'Blue' deserves the top spot.

2. Kim JaeJoong - ‘Nobody Like You’

Kim JaeJoong is back, and September could not be any better. 'Nobody Like You' reminds us once again that there is nobody like JaeJoong. Bright, energetic, and brimming with passion, this song is the ultimate bop. Besides, JaeJoong's cute quotient is off the charts.

3. Hwang MinHyun - ‘Again’

Hwang MinHyun comes in strong with 'Again' and we have to say, his vocal prowess is immaculate! Each word in the lyrics is imbued with such meaning that it is bound to strike a chord, even with the coldest heart. 'Again' has us missing a lover we haven't even met. Now, that's power.

4. Sorn -’Nirvana Girl’ (ft. YeEun & SeungYeon)

Sorn, YeEun, and SeungYeon make for an iconic trio that we can never get enough of. It isn't a surprise, therefore, that their collaboration in 'Nirvana Girl' is absolutely mesmerizing. From the vocals to the rap, everything about this song is what dreams are made of.
