The chart aggregates streaming and engagement data across key Asian markets.
It features data from Kakao's Melon in South Korea.
It includes Tencent Music's QQ Music and Kugou in China and Southeast Asia.
It incorporates Line Music in Japan.
The system combines insights from hundreds of millions of users to track global K-pop trends.
