Is it safe to say that now charting on youtube music chart is more important than charting on melon

It is

But sucks they don't have real time charts

Dang I predicted giving YouTube six more month but they really said hold my beer

nvm but I was expecting this too happen I still think both are important

Although Melon reclaimed the lead with 2.21 million DAU on the following day, this marks the first instance of YouTube Music topping the DAU charts since its domestic service initiation in 2019. Earlier reports highlighted YouTube Music as the leading app in April based on the Monthly Active Users (MAU) metric from WiseApp, an app and statistical analysis firm. However, this marks the first occasion where YouTube Music has achieved the top position under the Mobile Index standard.

So it was measured to have more active users for one day, then the following day it was back to melon.

Problem is that this and most articles like it are based mobile app usage from a a small subset of users and then extrapolated. Its not an exact metric by any means and the article even mentions two different metrics with different results.

Youtube at its current trajectory might be ahead already or is very likely be in the near future, but fact is the top songs still get more streams on melon than they do on youtube. Going by the more serious study released back in august, youtube is dominant among college studens, but melon is still ahead in all other age groups

With the way how protective SK is of domestic corporations (South Korean auto market has been closed to foreign companies up until 2012, and even after it opened Hyundai and Kia maintain over 90%) how long before SK goverment goes after Youtube and deems Youtube Premium + Music as unfair advantage?

Yes. Youtube Music is the fastest growing platform in Korea.

Melon is the fastest dying. It's the MySpace of music platforms.

2M daily users for Melon! Having 10% of the daily users listening to the number 1 song is huge.

Whatever chart my favs chart on is the most important chart ever, when they don't chart? Charts are not important #adjust

The best thing is youtube music also has weekly top artists so we can see the most consumed artists overall and you can download all their info easily, so in some time when kpop stans put more attention to it we will have all kind of statistics.

Melon and genie need to die, they made so many errors and allowed so much shit so let's celebrate

You have that on melon and more tho if you know where to look, theres uls/streams for every single song top 200 going back years available from melon, down the demograpich age group and gender....hour by hour

How about we don't bother about insignificant Korean digital charts because

1. Kpop is global now. Globally successful groups get less than 2% of their revenue from Korea

2. The Korea charts have been sajaegi since 2014 and earlier

The charts that we should be looking at are Billboard global, Spotify global, Youtube global, Apple global etc.

Heh, interesting.

I hope this means Melon charting won't be regarded as the end-all-be-all truth of charting anymore, while all other charts are categorically being 'forgotten'

College kids are not the only demo that matters omg.

Us older folks deserve to have our preferences recognized. Melon is still the best indicator of GP appeal.
