PSA: Those who complain about 'chart obsession' are advised to ignore this thread
What do AKP's data crunchers think of this Melon analysis? Any surprises or insights?
I was surprised to see no other BGs, not even Bigbang or GGs in the top 10 songs.
Non-Kpop /Soloists dominate.
But I think in another 10 years, that would change. Kpop domination starts in S.Korea starts from 2017.

The most loved domestic artist in Melon users' playlists of all time was IU, and the most-played song was Paul Kim's 'Every Day, Every Moment'.
On the 24th, Melon, a music platform of Kakao Entertainment, analyzed the 'playlist' data in users' music drawers over the past 20 years through Data Lab, and the results were as follows. 'Music Drawer' is a music archive service where users can easily view service usage history such as 'Recently Listened ', 'Liked ', 'My Playlist ', 'Frequently Listened ', and 'Fan Made'. It provides users with a more meaningful experience by connecting to personal memories of the time they listened to music.
According to Melon Data Lab's analysis, a total of 102 million playlists were created by Melon users over the past 20 years, and a total of 12.84 million songs by approximately 1.13 million artists were included in these playlists. The cumulative number of times they were included was approximately 8.15 billion.
The artist with the most songs in 120 million playlists was IU. There were 16.97 million playlists with IU's songs, and she was included 91.85 million times. Since her debut in 2008, IU has established herself as a national star by creating numerous hit songs, and she ranked first in both the number of playlists and the number of times her songs were included. This is an overwhelming figure, accounting for 16.6% of all playlists.
BTS came in second, with 68.1 million songs included in 9.5 million playlists. Taeyeon was included 35.35 million times in 11.14 million playlists, recording the second-highest number of songs included in playlists after IU.
The foreign artists who received the most love in Korea were Maroon 5 and Justin Bieber.
Paul Kim's "Every Day, Every Moment" was recorded as the song that was included the most in playlists. It took the title of the most-included song, with 2.13 million Melon users adding it to 3,928,000 playlists. It is a song that has received consistent love, being named in the Melon Annual Chart TOP
100 for 7 consecutive years since 2018. The second most-included song is IU's "Through the Night " and the third is BTS's "Spring Day", which were added to a total of 3,071,000 playlists. This song also holds the meaningful record of being the song with the most streaming of all time on Melon and the song that stayed on the annual chart for the longest period of time (8 consecutive years). The top
10 domestic songs most-included in Melon's music drawer were mainly of the "ballad genre." Following Paul Kim, IU, and BTS, 4th place goes to AKMU 's "How can I love the heartbreak, you're the one I love ", 5th place goes to Paul Kim's "Meet You ", 6th place goes to Ailee 's "I Will Go to You Like the First Snow ", 7th place goes to Sung Si-kyung's "All of Your Moments ", 8th place goes to MeloMance's "Gift ", 9th place goes to Jannabi's "For Lovers Who Hesitate ", and 10th place goes to Heize 's "Rain ( Feat.
