Chart point system
Summarize
Perspective
In 2013, the show switched from a pre-recorded format to a live show format. New changes to the show started with the episode on January 30, 2013.[6] Since 2015 it also has a Triple Crown system used in Inkigayo and The Show, where the song is not eligible for top 3 anymore after winning three times.[citation needed]
Starting from July 14, 2021, Show Champion revealed the scores like every other show on their website, instead of just announcing winners. The tracking time is also revealed to be from Monday to Sunday.
Every song, as long as they are in the week's pre-vote list and have not yet had a triple-crown, is eligible for this chart. Though Show Champion is a cable music show, there's no requirement for artists to attend or promote. The time limit in the pre-vote list is unknown.
Criteria that is currently used and was used in Show Champion ranking system:
Based source and explanations for each criterion
- Broadcast: Artists should participate in MBC M Shows to get Broadcast Score
- Digital sales: Number of streaming and download based on Korean chart, Currently is Melon, Genie, FLO, Bugs. Former based source included Naver Music and Soribada.
- Physical album: Number of copies based on Hanteo album chart
- Professional judges or critics' choice: Score based on judgement by MBC Music's staff
- Video views or SNS: YouTube views, counted from official MV only.
- Voting and netizen ranking: Voting and netizen choices happens before show start. Currently via Idol Champ app. Previously app and website used include Genie (until 2020), Melon (until 2018). Current pre-voting times is from Friday to Monday (previously is Thursday to Sunday).
