I’ve listed my “top tens” for many artists, but it’s time to rummage through entire discographies and rank every single from worst to best. This feature will primarily tackle groups who have disbanded or gone on indefinite hiatus. It’s a way for me to re-evaluate my initial thoughts on their singles run. Don’t be surprised if the order has changed from past countdowns. These things are always in flux!

16. It’s a Good Time (ft. Mickey) (2018)
I mean, do we even include this? It creepily reinterprets Mickey Mouse as a Korean idol rapper and prominently interpolates the Mickey Mouse Club theme. It doesn’t exactly feel like WJSN canon!
15. Let Me In (2021)
Definitely one of the better Universe App tracks, but still inessential. (full review)
14. Catch Me (2016)
Before the group had really nailed down their sound, they released this uncharacteristic hip-hop track. It’s catchy, though! (full review)
13. Kiss Me (2017)
A stomping pop-rock track. It lacks edge, but it’s fun enough.(full review)
12. Butterfly (2020)
Its brisk segments are better than its slower diversions. Overall, this feels more like IZ*ONE than WJSN. (full review)
11. Happy (2017)
A brief diversion into early-Twice peppy pop. It’s not bad, but doesn’t fit the group as well as their signature sound. (full review)
10. Unnatural (2021)
I love the driving energy of the chorus, but still think the pitch is too high to compliment the song’s sleek construction. (full review)
9. MoMoMo (2016)
They really nailed the celestial, spacey sound from their very first song. This has been a huge grower over the years. (full review)
8. La La Love (2019)
A little slow to get started, but once it blossoms this song is unstoppable. (full review)
7. Dreams Come True (2018)
Sleek, sci-fi pop with a great chorus. (full review)
6. I Wish (2017)
Its colorful, Lisa Frank-esque music video says it all. This is sunshine in a bottle. (full review)
5. Secret (2016)
One of those songs I criminally underrated early on in this blog. It’s such an iconic moment for them. (full review)
4. Save Me, Save You (2018)
Perhaps the most refined version of WJSN’s signature sound? The stomping hook is a discography highlight. (full review)
3. Last Sequence (2022)
A thumping dance track that crystallized the group’s sophisticated style. (full review)
2. Boogie Up (2019)
It may be a sidestep from their established sound, but this buoyant summer highlight has stood the test of time. An instant mood-lifter! (full review)
1. As You Wish (2019)
The most anthemic of the group’s title tracks, As You Wish bottled every aspect of their appeal into three minutes of heightened pop catharsis. (full review)
