So, is the ranking in the charts really all that?
Cause, I saw a lot of fans whether they're a kpop fans or not see rankings as the 'gospel' of the Bible when it's not.
IMO, ranking indicates the songs 'popularity' which heavily depends on the chart competition in that same time period. Big releases from huge artists & virality of the songs also impact the charts obviously.
Whereas the stats like streams or uls indicates the individual song's popularity itself.
