Does Youtube count towards CAK and PAK now?

Quote from bangmenah

And new thought: isnt CAK different from PAK because its realtime instead of a week???? So YouTube means you can ONLY get a PAK now???

There is the very unlikely scenario that a song can get #1 on all charts except the instiz weekly, which would be CAK, but yes, for practically purposes CAK is pretty much the same as PAK these days because they count youtube as a daily chart even tho its a weekly chart.

Instiz chart has never made much sense, but it doesnt have any real relevance in any case so.

Quote from Reclaimer

Tbh unless they can filter for just Korean views (even then, VPN can spoof), it seems dumb to put an international metric to a local performance indicator.

Like all the other charts require a Korean ID

Yes is only for South Korean views.

But as you say, using VPN can be a way to game it.

WHOT THERES A CHART!!?

Yeah. That's Official weekly YT chart. Kworb has both weekly and daily chart (but this one counts streams in the last 2 days): https://kworb.net/youtube/insights/kr_daily.html. It gives insight what song will be topping weekly chart. NewJeans will most likely take it next week, unfortunately, they will miss PAK regardless as BP will be going #1 straight on daily charts.

Quote from LovenRose

Yeah was added a few months ago. Remember that Still Life wasn’t able to achieve a PAK in the first week because it took forever for YT to update (only updates once a week and was like four days late)

It does suck if you miss it for a week, like newjeans just did.

The positive is that if you get #1 on YouTube, you have it for a whole week.

Quote from Kataphract

I wonder if we can pressure YT to do live updates.

People wanted YouTube in the charts, well there it is.

In theory it should not be hard to do.

Even if it is not YouTube, a 3rd party could figure out how to filter YouTube daily (or for 24 hours) then the I-chart could use that information for their chart.
