Hello everyone! We, your hosts u/Zypker125, u/kawaii_mokona and u/kirakiranatsu are excited to start the sequel to the most chaotic, voted fan favorite, the 1st K-Pop Grab Bag Rate, this time aptly titled The 2nd K-Pop Grab Bag Rate! Quick Links: Ballot submission: Reddit Chat Link to message your ballot to // Ballot template: Google Docs & Pastebin Playlists: Spotify & Apple Music 2 SONGS MISSING // Youtube MV Ver. / Youtube Audio Ver. / Youtube Lyrics Ver. Deadline: July 28th (Monday), 11:59 Pacific (Link to a timezone converter) How the songs were selected: This rate was entirely user-submitted by the public! We had a public song submission form on r/kpoprates, and everyone who submitted the form were able to get at least one song of their choosing on the songlist! Since our raterbase has increased since last year, we have placed restrictions on who got the songs in. 2 slots have been allocated to the most active participants of r/kpoprates (hosts, people who have participated in most rates since last Grab Bag Rate, Top 5/Bottom 5 predictions as well as those who have participated in our Discord Spotlight of the Week activity). Now, without further ado, let's introduce the 60 songs that were selected for this rate! If you want to read the comments submitters left for their songs, you can read them here First, we'll go over the songs by "submitters who want to have their names revealed with their songs at the start", ordered reverse alphabetically by submitter's username and then reverse alphabetically by the artist's name: .

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: HDnG - 4Shadows: 10 this is the modern masterpiece that proves that small groups do not need big budgets to put out fantastic songs like this one! 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. DO NOT SABOTAGE! Hopefully this shouldn’t be a problem as we trust you guys (famous last words) but we reserve the right to reject your ballot + ask you to change your scores and/or leave comments, especially for scores on the low end. Ultimately, please just rate all of the songs truthfully – this will make the whole process a lot easier and more fun for everyone involved! If you want to change scores or add comments at any point, don't hesitate to message this Reddit account (u/KpopRates)! For this rate specifically, we have a ballot average minimum of 3.50. In addition, if your ballot average is between 3.50-4.50, 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.} For this rate, if you use a 0, you are required to leave a comment next to the song you gave a 0. Since a 0 is a powerful score/statement to give, we want to see why people gave songs 0s. 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. Alternatively, if you have Discord, you can message the link to your ballot to either of the rate hosts: @Zypker124, @kawaii_mokona or @kirakiranatsu. 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). Top/Bottom 5 Predictions Form Google spreadsheet template that you can use to calculate averages, record scores, and make predictions DUE DATE: Tuesday, July 28th, by 11:59 PM Pacific - This will be the FINAL deadline, no extensions will be given this time!
