What is ‘First-week sales’?

First-week sales are the number of albums sold in the first week after an album is released on Hanteo Chart. First-week sales are an important indicator of an album’s popularity and success

2. World Chart

The World Chart is a real-time chart based on global K-pop related data based on Hanteo Chart’s big data technology.

All of your posts, photos, and YouTube music video comments that you write about K-pop stars that you support online are reflected here!

3. Certification Chart

The Certification Chart is a chart that is compiled by purchasing an album with a “Hanteo Chart Certification Card” and then scanning the QR code on Whosfan (Hanteo Chart mobile app). It targets global users and has the advantage of being able to compile more accurately than any other chart.

4. Music Chart

6. Social Chart

The Social Chart is a chart that reflects real-time global SNS big data. The fan base size and popularity of the K-pop artist are comprehensively analyzed.

This chart is the most relevant answer to the question of whether this artist is gaining global popularity.

7. Star Chart

The Star Chart is a chart that compiles the activity points of fans on the Whosfan mobile app, regardless of the activities of K-pop artists.

Originally, it was a chart in the form of a recommended point where fans could vote for their favorite singers once a day on the website, but it has changed to a chart that compiles the activity points generated when fans view, comment on, or share content such as news articles, videos, photos, and articles on the Whosfan app on other SNS.

Today, I learned about the types of Hanteo Chart, the first real-time chart in Korea and the only real-time chart in the world.

I was impressed by the fact that Hanteo Chart is not just a chart that shows the sales of albums and songs, but is also developing several elements that are essential to K-pop culture, such as social media and artist activity scores. As the status of K-pop rises, I hope that Hanteo Chart will become a credible chart that is indispensable to the global music market, along with Billboard.
