K-Pop Flashback: Top Songs And Artists From April 2014

K-Pop moves ever forward and shows no signs of stopping. This is made evident through the success of newer groups like NMIXX, LE SSERAFIM, and TXT. These groups are constantly seen rising to the top of music charts and are considered as some of the new leaders of the current generation.

Although their success is clear for everyone to see, we cannot forget that the genre as a whole has seen a large number of successful artists pass through its doors. K-Pop has a storied history that would take weeks to properly sort through and cover. But here at Kpopmap, we're taking it one month at a time with our series, K-Pop Flashback.

Through this series, we open the gates of nostalgia at the end of every month and take a look at a specific time in K-Pop. We aim to look back no less than 7 years, the average contract length of your typical idol group. Our goals are to both reminisce and introduce newer K-Pop fans to older groups and trends that dominated the market all those years ago.

For the month of April, we are traveling back to the year 2014. Let's meet the artists that dominated the charts!
