Hi everybody! It's that time of the year...AGAIN! So many bubblegum songs have been released this year, and thanks to new technologies and new friends, we've been introduced to so many Asian bubblegum artists this year! This list does not contain every bubblegum song (my collection went slightly over 250 for 2008), nor does it necessarily reflect your personal tastes. Please feel free to comment, but I ask you share your list of 2007/08 favorites as well!
