Music Show Wins:: Week of 11/19 -- 11/25

  Okay, first up. We got another Triple Crown, and this should be the last win for this song if my math is correct between the age of the song and the number of wins already. Y'all, I have had NMIXX tagged in here four out of the last five weeks. That's kind of impressive. Also, this was ITZY's first win in almost two years. Girl group power this week for the win, with three of the four slots taken by them. Nice. And I'd really like MCountdown to start doing shows again, but it's award season.

Okay. So, funny thing about the After School Club episode (episode 334) this time around. So, the group is 100%, a 2012 debut group (you know how I love 2012 groups and this was around their 6th anniversary), and currently sort of reformed as the group FAVE1 (who I just realized dropped a Christmas single last year, so I'm updating last year's Christmas Caroling post with it because that was adorable). The four of them were so much fun to watch and that album had a lot of breakup songs on it apparently. I'll need to take a listen. Not that I need the break-up songs emotionally right now. I just generally enjoy them. Also, this while while Seungmin of Stray Kids was one of the MCs. I had to giggle a little at the beginning. "As you can see, Seungmin's not here because he's Stray Kids and he's always busy." I thought that was the singularly most appropriate thing I could choose for this week considering they just had a comeback after two months. Okay, maybe three. Things haven't changed in the last seven years.

I decided at some point that I was going to drop a former The Show stage and a random non-winning stage from the week to help bolster the smaller groups a little. I decided to keep it in the Starship family to start this off. The Show's stage is Monsta X from back in 2021, which granted isn't a small or rookie group, even four years ago, but I really liked this one. The extra stage is from Music Bank this week, featuring the lovely Cravity. Again, not necessarily the smallest group I could have pulled, but we're easing into things.

As always, the links in the spreadsheet directly below this paragraph go to my reviews, and the link further down for ASC goes to the livestream. I'd give you the video here, but apparently Blogger gets a bit cranky with livestreams, so I went with the next easiest thing and am just giving you the link instead.
