Regular campaigners, who fell down the pecking order, have returned to contest for top honours. With just five debutants taking the field, there is plenty to play for.
How the OH!Chart system works:
The chart is divided into three different categories: Gaon Streaming and Downloads (55%), Hanteo Physical Sales (25%), and OH User Voting (20%). OH users are allowed to vote and have a say in the overall chart ranks of certain songs each week. OH users can vote for more than one nominee but cannot vote for the same nominee more than once. Every week, data from the three categories will be gathered and weighted accordingly. The artists with the 10 highest scores will make it onto the chart. If an artist wins a triple crown, their results will not be recorded in future charts.
Results:
Arguably the trendiest boy group at the moment, Wanna One easily clinched back-to-back OH!Chart trophies for “Energetic”. The project group recorded a total of 25.84 points. Veteran singer and producer Yoon Jong Shin’s latest single “Like It” came runner-up on début, with 14.76 points.
