Korean music ranking for week 4 of May 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.

Like any of the songs ? Buy the CD to support the artists and nhatkyviet.com
