The end goal of melon is not to have a supposedly unbiased chart but to have the most users on the platform

  • You all do know that melon is a steaming platform right?


    It’s purpose is not to have an unbiased chart. Sure that can be contributing but it’s not the be all end all.


    Do you guys know why EXO won at Melon Music Award over and over and over again?


    Because EXOL obsessively used Melon. Every single year they had the most streams on that useless platform. EXOL were obsessed with that platform.


    These were Melon’s PAYING customers.


    Whether you want to admit it or not fangirls who stream (regardless of whether you think it’s ‘fake mass steaming’ or not) are valuable customers to the platform.


    WE ALREADY HAVE A DIGITAL CHART. THE GAON DIGITAL CHART.


    This is the OFFICIAL CHART.


    Melon owes no one their top100 other than their most loyal users.

    No shit Sherlock. They tried that. And you know what happened? Melon user base dropped by half. Songs with 300k-400k ULs are now #1


    You can say Tic correlation is not causation other platforms just became more popular.


    Sure I’ll buy that but clearly Melon thinks fandom streamers and their money matters. So really either way y’all need to LET THIS GO.


    If melon truly wants more users they should have playlisting. There is nothing more useful than Spotify’s playlists for me at least. But anyway melon prolly doesn’t have the resources. Who knows.


    Anyway tic has spoken. This is the end.

  • what kpop fans think Melon wants: chart integrity

    what Melon actually wants: subscription juseyo 2

  • WE ALREADY HAVE A DIGITAL CHART. THE GAON DIGITAL CHART.

    I literally made a thread about this I have no clue why everyone is so obsessed with the fking fruit chart or how it is suppose to represent whatever nonsense people want it to represent

    For real, charting is for losers. I'm glad i dont waste time with that stuff. winonaryder.gif

  • Honestly jokes aside... I'm sure YouTube Music took a portion of their subscribers and now Spotify is coming up... I can only speak for my fandoms, but I know there's less of an effort toward streaming on Melon and more toward Bugs, Genie, and Flo. Fans are going to go where they feel they can benefit their group. People make not like it, but it's business.

    I HAVE BEEN SAYING.


    In fact melon doesn’t even owe us this useless top100 or whatever chart.


    Ppl think being on the top 100 chart will make their favs more “visible” poor GGs and soloists used to be nugu before and this chart helped them get more listeners.


    EXCEPT IT DIDNT


    Their subscription dropped by almost HALF.


    Anyway ppl on kpop forums will argue about anything and everything.

    Yes melon is losing market share. No doubt about it.


    And I don’t think changing the top 100 will bring in more customers. But MELON thinks that I’m assuming. Lol.

  • There are 2 reasons why people check charts. One is to celebrate their faves achievements. Everyone does this no problem with that.


    The other, is to use their faves success for bragging rights and to rub it into other people faces. Oh look my faves reached XXXX and your faves can't even break top 100 flops hahas lawl lolll lul lelelelel hheheeee

  • Exactly, Melon is desperately looking for a way to gain more listeners and fans think this is about what is correct or not. No one cares, corporations only want money no what clowns that don’t even live in SK think.

  • interesting after all melon is a business and the purpose of a business is to make money...

    businesses who don't make money don't stay around long enough to be called a business
