The Inkigayo Chart is a music program record chart on Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) that gives an award to the best-performing single of the week in South Korea. The show aired every Sunday at 3:20 p.m. KST and was broadcast from the SBS Open Hall in Deungchon-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul. [1] [2] Every week, the show awards the best-performing single on the chart in the country during its live broadcast. In 2024, the chart measured digital performance in domestic online music services (5,500 points), social media via YouTube views (3,000 points), album sales (1,000 points), network on-air time (1,000 points), advanced viewer votes (500 points), and live viewer votes (500 points). [3] Beginning on October 6, 2024, Inkigayo implemented changes to its ranking methodology. The weighting for domestic online music services was reduced from 5,500 points to 5,000 points, and points for social media views, were decreased from 3,000 to 2,000 points, while the other criteria remained unchanged. Songs that spend three weeks at number one are awarded a Triple Crown and are removed from the chart and ineligible to win again. Since July 3, 2023, Tomorrow X Together member Choi Yeon-jun, BoyNextDoor member Woonhak, and actress Park Ji-hu had been hosting the show and continued to do so till April 14, 2024. Actor Moon Seong-hyun, Zerobaseone's Han Yu-jin, and Ive's Leeseo were announced as new hosts of the show the following week. [4]
