South Korea Songs

Weekly South Korean music chart by Billboard magazine

South Korea Songs was a music record chart in South Korea compiled by Billboard since May 7, 2022, and is a replacement for the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 chart that was discontinued one week prior. The chart was updated every Tuesday on Billboard's website. It was part of Billboard's Hits of the World chart collection, ranking the top 25 songs weekly in more than 40 countries around the globe.[1]

The first number-one song on the chart was "Still Life" by Big Bang on the issue dated May 7, 2022.[2]

The chart was removed from all of Billboard's digital properties after the chart dated January 18, 2025. No reason has been stated for the removal and it is not clear whether the decision has affected South Korean artists' song performance and data on international charts such as the Billboard Global 200 or the Billboard Global Excl. US.

## Methodology

[edit]

The chart tracked songs' performance from Friday to Thursday. Chart rankings are based on digital downloads from full-service digital music retailers (sales from direct-to-consumer sites such as an individual artist's store are excluded) and online streaming occurring in South Korea during the tracking period. All data are provided by Luminate Data, formerly MRC Data.[3]
