MUSIC RANK EXTRA AWARDS 2021 New Criteria System and Selection of Nominees

 MUSIC RANK EXTRA AWARDS 2021 | Criteria System and Selection of Nominees

    The New Criteria System for choosing the winners for MUSIC RANK EXTRA AWARDS | #MREAwards2021 will no longer based on 100% fan-driven (fan votes) award. This change will determine the right winner for each category. For about 3 years of MUSIC RANK Team running this Online Music Award we learn that every winner each year became more predictable and biased to one or two Asian Artist, it is because of our one criteria system which is "fan-voting".
