Taehyung's Side Piece 2,625 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Now if they actually choose best song of the year by quality... I don't get some of ya'll. Like do you think someone held a gun to korea's head and forced them to download and stream TT and Cheer Up? Twice may have a big fandom when it comes to gg, but it's not big enough to influence the digital domination that they had this year, which means TT and Cheer Up must have been songs the GP enjoyed. The fact that you're sitting here pressed and upset bc a song you don't like is getting accolades , well, that's part of the reason kpop isn't fun anymore. And trust me, even if they did it based on 'quality' your oppas and unnies still probably wouldn't be there, so get off ur high horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel. 363 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 This shit is so bias. lol they chose winners based on sales and fanbase no one is ever gonna tell me "Cheer Up" was the best song this year when they were plenty releases that were better...musically, lyrically and sonically TWICE won because they're TWICE.
