Korean music ranking for week 4 of May 2008
Posted by Viet
Updated: Jun 30, 2008
For a while now, I’ve been thinking about posting some kinds of weekly music ranking for Korean music, similar to Oricon Ranking for J-music. The problem is to find a credible system, preferably an official one, which isn’t available. Soompi has a weekly unofficial ranking, which they created using the following formula:
ChartKorea - 15%
Air Monitor Chart - 15%
MNet M!Countdown + Fan Voting + Cable Airplay - 15%
Various Internet charts (Melon, Jukeon, Dosirak, MNet, Muz, Bugs, Ohdio, Soribada) - 15%
Hanteo and KMDIA Weekly Album Sales (2 weeks lag) - 10%
SBS - Inky Gayo Take 7 + Internet Chart + MP3 Download Chart + Music Video Chart - 10%
Hanteo Gayo Chart - 10% (1 week lag)
KBS Music Bank K-Chart - 5%
Gasoo appearance on gayo shows (MBC Show! Music Core,
SBS Inky Gayo, KBS Music Bank, KBS Yoon Do Hyun Love Letter, SBS Kim
Jung Eun Chocolate, MTV Top Choice, Pops In Seoul) -
5%
I thought it is the best I can get at the moment. Therefore, from now on, I’ll be posting the links to all of the songs/albums in this list. This will be roughly one every week. Let me know if you have any question/suggestion.

Wah, thank youu~!
I’m in love with Kim Jong Wook right now, lol
*melts*
U don’t have to post the songs & albums, bro. That’s my opinion becos u know ur tags r so easy to follow & the songs that drop dramatically from the chart aren’t too much
so I think it’s no need to do all ^^
Thank you so much bro 4 ur hard work, u’re 1 of 3 incredible ppl I’ve known so far ^^
*run far away*
re. video: you can watch the video for every song from the soompi link i provided.
Also 4. Nell are not bad. Nice voice.
You can see the video here:

Actually, they’re good.
Most of these artists have videos on youtube and/or Veoh.
BTW, at Veoh you can directly download high quality videos.
Best wishes everyone!
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Unfortunately … unless you’re the kind of pubescent maiden who kisses TV screens and swoons at the sight of shiny effeminate boy bands, I’d recommend only 13. Choi Jin Yi & 17. Davichi
Also As One, here:

[Diabetics should avoid their Christmas album though]
Anyong hi kay shipsio..
Epik high is awesome!
Thanks!
Liking the idea
Used to get melon charts but they were unreliable and not very frequent.Saves alot of time dl music shows just to listen to some of the new songs.
Thx, look forward to future releases.
