The Inkigayo Chart is a music program record chart on Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) that gives an award to the best-performing single of the week in South Korea. The chart measures digital performance in domestic online music services (55%), social media via YouTube views (30%), album sales (10%), network on-air time (10%), and advanced viewer votes (5%) in its ranking methodology.[1] Beginning on January 24, Inkigayo implemented real-time voting via the Starpass mobile app accounting for an additional 5%.[2][3]
