How is a music show #1 decided?

Each broadcaster combines digital sales, physical sales, broadcast points, viewer votes and other components in its own published ratio to pick a weekly #1.

gayo.wiki treats the results as public record: it does not touch the formula, and recounts winners, artists and dates every morning from Wikipedia's per-show winner lists (CC BY-SA) — 2,590 wins across six shows since 2012.

So a gayo.wiki win count is exactly the number of #1s the broadcasters announced; no votes, streams or ads are added.

The figures come from 2,590 music show wins gayo.wiki has compiled since 2012 across six shows (The Show, Show Champion, M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, Inkigayo) and from Circle Chart, Apple Music, TJ, KY and official YouTube data recollected daily at 05:35 KST. Last refreshed 2026-09-26.

Commentary

A music show #1 is decided by each broadcaster. Digital sales, physical sales, broadcast points and viewer votes are combined in a ratio the broadcaster publishes, and one song is chosen each week. Because the components and ratios differ from show to show, different shows can name different winners in the same week.

gayo.wiki records those results as they are announced. It does not touch the formula; it recounts the winning song, artist and date every morning and has logged 2590 wins across the 6 shows since 2012. That is why a win count here equals the number the broadcasters announced.

To look up an artist or song, type the name in the search box for its win dates and shows; yearly lists for each show are on that show's page.
