EXO
“Let me in“, the pre-released song from Korean group EXO’s seventh full album “EXIST”, was ranked No. 1 among the “50 Best K-pop Songs of 2023” selected by the famous British magazine DAZED.
On December 15 (local time), Dazed ranked EXO’s “Let me in” at the top of the “2023 Best K-Pop Track 50” list published on its official website.
Dazed introduced the song saying, “Few could deliver effortless beauty on a song whose instrumental isn’t much more than a warm ambient bath, and where the protagonist has fallen in love so deeply that they exist isolated, starving for the touch of their lover and willing to wait at the bottom of sunless oceans for it.”
“But the challenges “Let Me In” presents are simply launchpads for EXO to take full flight, fully immersing you in vocals that glide from dreamily enveloping to powerfully longing.”, it said in a positive review.
“Let me in,” which EXO pre-released in June ahead of the release of its seventh full-length album, topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 37 regions around the world, topping the digital album sales chart China QQ Music and Cougou Music, topped the QQ Music Music Index and topped the music video rankings in the global and Korean categories.
Singer-songwriter BIBI’s “Hongdae R&B” came in second on the chart. Third place is “I don’t understand but I luv u“, a track from SVT’s 10th mini-album “FML”.
