![]() I kinda sneakily link my playlist in relevant conversations here on reddit and IRL two or three times, in hopes of at least one person pressing that big heart to save it to their library. I get more conscious because 100 is one helluva number. I'm like, where did all the listeners come from? The number of likes on her playlists ain't going up. The number climbs up to 80, 85, and a few of my playlists with her songs in them get like 2 or 3 likes. It was also the phase where I spent hours in the uni library working lol You could even see "Munich, DE" in the artist description box lol. So days go by and the followers goes from 73 to 75. It's so small it's not even displayed, but I'd like to guess it's about, what, 50? 60? times I alone played it- yep. So with that, apart from the tracks that are included on one of those throwback compilation albums, Clumsy Farewell climbs up to her Top 3 most listened tracks. A ballad song that I had already loved, " Clumsy Farewell", became a sort of earworm, to the point where even my friend who doesn't stan 80s played it on repeat for two whole nights, saying "yeah this is the korean translation of pure depression. So I set around to add her songs from her english-language account into all the playlists I had added her songs to, and fully listened through her 3 albums in the process and found many bops (especially city pop bops!). (if y'alls faves have a "innocent", "fresh", "teenage" or "schoolgirl" concept, thank Lee Jiyeon and very specifically this song). So I just minded my own boring business making 10000s of 1st gen and 90s playlists,when I suddenly struck - wait, why don't I playlist myself? Maybe if I playlist cleverly, more people might get Jiyeon and " I Still Don't Know Love" in their recommends - something I'd love to see happen, for the iconic song it is. And due to her "Golden Hits" album that's uploaded on there includes, well, all her hits, and no one really listens to her b-sides, it's chill. ![]() Well, she does have slightly more - around 900 - on her korean page (under the name 이지연) that's not verified because there's only one album on there, and it has more monthly listeners because well, people that know her are 99.99% Korean and still search her up in korean. Just too bad that she only has 73 monthly listeners on her verified account despite having 3/4 of her discography on there. So I have a fave singer, a pop singer from the 80s named Lee Jiyeon, fantastic vocal magic and absolute bangers to that woman's name, as well as a long-lasting artistic legacy ("innocent concept", anyone? yep, thank this girl) and to top it off a (now) super succesful cooking/ restaurant business. Y'all remember when y'all were up in arms about this thing that Spotify calls playlisting, where the monthly listeners go up going by how many follow a specific playlist that they are in? And y'all were like "it's inorganic" that New Jeans have more monthly listeners than blackpink because that will increase their visibility in recommendations? Well I just sat there and sipped tea lol.
