MUSIC RANK ASIA'S HOT 40 CHART (FAQ)

How do you calculate the monthly streams and views?
    Spotify monthly streams and YouTube views first calculation start at 5th or 10th day of the month depending on MUSIC RANK Team work schedule, because of the limited work hours. The final calculation will began at the 25th day of the month. 
*The calculation will not be based on the total views/stream shown on the said platform. 

Example: 
1st count of streams = 1M
25th day count of streams =  5M
(1M-5M = 4M Monthly streams result ) *It also apply on YouTube views


What if the artist song exceeds  monthly streams, mv views and online votes?
    -The song will have additional points and automatically get the #1 spot, but if another song have the same points we will implement chart rule #3.


Do you consider music artist don't have Spotify?
     -We consider them if they are official artist on YouTube Music platform. For now only Spotify & YouTube Music are the only platform we allowed. 

What if the artist song is available on both Spotify & YouTube Music?
    - In terms of counting the monthly stream Spotify is the standard for MRAHot40Chart. YouTube Music is another source of counting the stream if the song is not available on Spotify. 


What if the song exceed 5M or more monthly streams? 
    -The equivalent points will be the same because additional points will be determine if the three portion of the criteria exceed on "Four Ranking Classifications".

Is online voting has time limit?
    -Yes it has! The time limit for voting is 12:00AM - 6:00PM (Korean Standard Time)


What is the highest points to reach the #1 spot?
    -10,000 points (100%) but not all the time it could be 100% it will depend on the total amount of points that the song accumulated. 


How will you solve if two or more song have tied points?
    -The MUSIC RANK Team will implement chart rule #3 "Songs that have the same total points in the chart will rank by their monthly streams."

Example:
Artist A (10,000 points) "Artist A Monthly Stream = 1.1M streams"  
Artist B (10,000 points) " Artist B Monthly Stream = 1M streams"
(So Artist A will get the higher position on the chart because Artist A get 100K more streams than Artist B)
