It's hard to currently chart well on Melon - short explanation

Quote from bartkun

BTS has 4 songs in top 15

there are 6 solo/ost non kpop songs in top 15

Bieber oppa also has 2 songs in top 15

Ed Sheeran also is in top 15

only aespa and Taeyeon are now in top 15

even if we would expand it to top 25 then we will just add Somi, Red Velvet, and Brave Girls, each with one song, so we will need to add 7 non kpop songs again...

and if we want to expand it to top 50 then we will just add Oh My Girl, STAYC (2 songs), ITZY, BTS (2 songs), and all other songs are either from soloists/ost/trot... ah and there is Bieber oppa again!

Yes... I don't really understand about the chart reform, but as I know they're based on Uls not heavily on streaming anymore, cmiiw. The girls group performance is also drop and bg literally out of the chart except bts. This is actually because of the chart reform or korean just really turn the blind eyes to kpop including gg?

my boys

Melon should have keep the old old reform and do the 24h hits charts during zombie hours

And the uls dropped drastically now the #1 song can’t barely crack 500k uls

And lets not talk genie what’s going on

Nah its much easier then it was before this chart is way better for fandoms.

I came around to the old chart because at least it wasnt easy to manipluate like this one is.

ALl charts are pretty shitty lately.. Bugs and Genie are jokes.

Why it seems hard for groups to chart higher? I don't really understand tbh.

If you rely on the gp it’s hard to chart but if you have a solid fandom you will chart high for example NCT or Lim Young Woong

I know because BP charts high there so the user thinks its good.

The UL based chart is harder to chart.

What's going on with genie?

What's going on with genie?

Its become harder for songs to rise on genie. Some groups have tragic genie daily debuts. Flop songs chart worse over there than melon these days i think lol.

This make me more confused. A lot of soloist up there, so it means it is supposed to be gp driven more than fans driven.

How genie works?

So Where's the short explanation?

all I know is promotion does help GGs charting in melon.

a lot of soloists who used to chart high can’t reach the top 10

Actually i am confused about what happened to genie. Maybe they changed something regarding downloads? Some chart expert would know better.

Honestly 24hits on melon is/was the best setup, anything else it's really not that reliable

Oh I see, I thought Uls is based on Gp more because it is not based on streaming anymore like the second gen. I mean, more groups back then including bg chart better than now.
