Downloads weigh more than streams in most platforms

If the song is being streamed a lot, downloads will make it chart even higher

Music platforms only count 1 stream an hour per ID

Gaon Digital Chart will count all streams, downloads, and background music

Charting in a weekly chart is required to get digitals in most music shows

International fans can stream on Genie and Bugs
