A popular R’n’B soloist took home his first OH!Chart crown. Other nominees, including a host of ballad singers, were battling for podium spots.
How the OH!Chart system works:
The chart is divided into three different categories: Gaon Streaming and Downloads (60%), Hanteo Physical Sales (15%), and OH User Voting (25%). 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.
*The release of week #34 results was delayed, in light of the passing of late SHINee member, Kim Jonghyun.
