What is your relationship with music programs?

 

Korean music programs are basically scored based on ``sound source performance,'' ``record performance,'' ``number of YouTube views,'' ``fan votes,'' and ``broadcast score.''

“Sound source score” and “record score” have a large percentage of the score, and in order for K-POP idols to take first place on music programs, they need to improve these two scores!

In particular, since music performance accounts for 35-60% of the score, fan streaming is very important.

The week of the comeback is the most likely to improve performance, so calls for streaming and purchasing the album are the most active.🔥

⚠︎The week of the comeback is still being counted, so it won't be listed as a candidate for first place.

The 5 sound source charts and 2 disc charts have different counting methods and characteristics for each chart, and the charts used to tally scores vary depending on the music program!

In order to get first place, the key is to understand the charts used and the characteristics of each chart!

First, let's take a look at the circle chart!

Many people may be more familiar with its former name, Gaon Chart. ^^

Circle charts include not only vinyl charts, but also digital, streaming, and download charts.

One of them, the circle chart record chart, is “Shipping base” is being counted!

In other words, “Quantity shipped from wholesaler to store - Quantity returned” are tallied and ranked.

Since this is the number shipped from the wholesaler to the store, overseas sales are also counted!

 

The important point to keep in mind when using the circle chart is that it basically collects the number of "reservations + in-store + inventory" ordered by retailers, so it is not the actual number of sales!

Also, since the returned items are deducted later, the number may be less than the original quantity.

hunt chart

On the other hand, Hunt Chart is a system that aggregates the actual number of tickets sold at participating stores.sales base” music chart!

If you want to contribute to ``first day sales'' and ``initial sales,'' which are often used to measure a group's popularity, be sure to purchase from a Hunt Chart member store!

The Hunt Chart is a chart that shows how much sales have been made, but since only member stores are counted, overseas sales are often not fully reflected.

Summary
