MelOn selects songs that left outstanding records in 2023

Bluebeard supremacy

It’s weird that ive is excluded on this list tho. Isn’t i am still charting higher than all those songs listed above (aside from super shy) despite being released way earlier than them?

confused

Based on what?

Quote from girlgroupstan21

SEVENTEEN - Super

I see that Melon felt the need to include a token boy group song in the list.

the list is so random

I don't see a pattern at all

They should include I Am and Seven to be honest

Yep. Still in top 10 on daily last time i checked a few days ago. More ULs than Super Shy as well. It is very peculiar actually, it's not like Kakao would have been accused of being biased, I AM truly is the best performing song of 2023.

Did Starshit and Kakao have some huge blowup between them? I know Kakao wants to sell their controlling interest in Starshit to raise money for AI but now i'm wondering if there are other reasons for this move...combining the blatant exclusion of I AM with the complete lack of promo for Ive's upcoming comeback...

Where is seven and I am?

I feel like Spicy made no impact. It was popular for a week and immediately got surpassed by Queencard.

IVE should be here with both Kitsch and I Am

One day someone will type (G)I-DLE correctly and I'll be shocked beyond all comprehension.

The biggest missing entry is Ditto.

It released late December, but it broke basically every MelOn record in 2023 and will win SOTY at the MMAs guaranteed.

Strange

This list is just part of a campaign that melon is doing to celebrate it's 20 years anniversary. Wouldn't think too much of it. If you go to the website of the campaign you'll see that they mainly picked these songs because of their lyrics. The only useful thing is that the songs on the list will get displayed on billboards around Seoul

So a bunch of people sat down and decided "my boob and booty's hot" was worthy of being on this list.

You don't twerk on the runway?

Weird they didn’t add seven when it’s the first song by a male act this year to top melon daily and weekly

But if they are doing this list based on lyrics for their campaign, I guess I can see why.

It doesn’t have any Korean

Lol the people in charge aren't that fun sadly. Would be a sight to see tho how people in Seoul would react to seeing that on their billboards

What they actually did is that they counted how many times Queencard appears in the lyrics and then multiply that by the amount of streams the song has, coming to the conclusion that Melon listeners in total have heard the lyric "Queencard" 2 billion times. I know it's kinda lame...but to be expected from people obsessed with numbers

Could be because it was ranked #1 in top 100 the most.
