The Inkigayo Chart is a music program record chart that gives an award to the best-performing single of the week in South Korea. The 2017 chart measured digital performance in domestic online music services (5,500 points), social media via YouTube views (3,500 points), advanced viewer votes (500 points), and album sales (500 points) in its ranking methodology. The candidates for the number-one song of the week received additional points from live votes (1,000 points). [1] Utilization of live votes was discontinued in February. [2] Songs that spend three weeks at number one are awarded a Triple Crown and are removed from the chart and ineligible to win again. Twice member Jeongyeon, actress Gong Seung-yeon, and actor Kim Min-seok had hosted the show since July 2016 and continued to do so until January 22, 2017.
