The Music Bank Chart is a record chart established in 1998 on the South Korean KBS television music program Music Bank. Every week during its live broadcast, the show gives an award for the best-performing single on the South Korean chart. The chart includes digital performances on domestic online music services (65%), album sales (5%), number of times the single was broadcast on KBS TV (20%), and viewers' choice from online surveys (10%), a methodology that has been used since November 2020. On February 25, 2022, KBS changed the methodology to include social media score (5%), calculated using YouTube and TikTok data gathered from the Gaon charts. They also reduced the percentage from domestic online music services to 60%. The score for domestic online music services is calculated using data from Melon, Bugs, Genie Music, Naver Vibe and Flo. Ive member Jang Won-young and Enhypen member Park Sung-hoon, had been hosting the show since October 8, 2021. Sung-hoon continued to host the show till September 2, 2022. He was later replaced by actor Lee Chae-min starting September 30.
