The Gaon Digital Chart is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles in South Korea. Managed by the domestic Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST). Its data is compiled by the Korea Music Content Industry Association and published by the Gaon Music Chart. [1] [2] The ranking is based collectively on each single's weekly download sales, stream count, and background music usage.
