The Music Bank Chart is a record chart established in 1998 on the South Korean KBS television music program Music Bank. Every week during its live broadcast, the show gives an award for the best-performing single on the South Korean chart. The chart includes digital performance on domestic online music services (65%), album sales (5%), number of times the single was broadcast on KBS TV (20%), and viewers' choice (10%) in its ranking methodology. [1] [2] The score for domestic online music services is calculated using data from Melon, Bugs, Genie Music and Soribada. [3] Actor and singer Park Bo-gum and Red Velvet member Irene, who had been the hosts of the show since May 2015, continued to do so until June 24, 2016.

[5] Kang Min-hyuk left the show on November 4, and the following week Lee Seo-won was announced as the new host along with Ahn Sol-bin. [6]

[7] "Cheer Up" and "TT" by Twice spent five weeks at number one, making both singles the most awarded songs of the year.
