Se7en need your help!

Hi everyone… it’s crazy to think that there are only a couple of days left til our dear boy makes a comeback onto the Korean music scene right? It’s been a long time, over 3 years in fact. During these 3 years, the kpop world has changed a great deal. Everything nowadays is about digital sales and online popularity. In the past to get a No 1 song, you just needed good album sales and lots of exposure. Now everything online counts ALOT. Dont think that just because you’re not in Korea, you cant do anything to help – YOU CAN.

Below is detailed info about the breakdown of the points system for the K Chart (KBS Music Bank) and SBS Mutizen Song (SBS Inkigayo). Following that I will outline step by step what you can do as an overseas lucky se7en to help our dongwookie get to that No 1! Let’s work together with the Korean fans to make it happen ok??? FIGHTING!!

Music Bank – K Chart

Online listening 60%, Album sales 10%, Broadcast exposure 20%, Viewers preference 10%
Online listening numbers are made up of stats from Dosirak, Melon, Bugs, Mnet and Soribada as well as the number of ringtone and caller ring downloads on SK Telecom and KTF. Album sales are based on Hanteo charts, Shinara media and Hottracks. Broadcast exposure is the total number of times the song is played on KBS radio and TV. Viewers preference is when viewers vote for their 3 favourite songs every week and the results are sent to the Broadcast Cultural Research Centre.

Inkigayo

Take 7 – Research 20%, Album sales 10%, Online listening 30%, Broadcast exposure 20%, Inkigayo homepage voting 10%
Online listening is also from Dosirak, Melon, Bugs, Mnet and Soribada as well as various tele companies in Korea.
