Inkigayo

Inkigayo (; English title: The Music Trend, previously Popular Song) is a South Korean music program broadcast by SBS. It airs live every Sunday. The show features some of the latest and most popular artists who perform on stage. It is broadcast from the SBS Open Hall in Deungchon-dong, Gangseo District, Seoul.

History

Inkigayo debuted as SBS Popular Song in 1991 as a chart show, but was canceled in fall 1993 because it was replaced by TV Gayo 20 (TV 가요20). It was later revived in 1998 with its original title and format. In 2003, the chart format was removed and was replaced by Take 7, where seven of the most popular artists from the week are featured and the most popular artist receives the award for Mutizen Song.

In spring 2007, the program changed from a recorded broadcast to a live broadcast in an effort to boost ratings, as well as changing the English name to The Music Trend. On November 2, 2008, the program moved from 3:20 pm to 4:10 pm Sunday afternoons, airing before Good Sunday, also to boost ratings. In spring 2010, the program expanded to 70 minutes, beginning at 3:50 pm every Sunday.

On July 10, 2012, SBS announced it was revamping the show and removing the Take 7 system and Mutizen Song award, explaining that "we believe that rather than the ranking system, the most important thing is the genre K-Pop being recognized worldwide. Therefore, we have decided to abolish the system after much discussion. There's really no meaning behind a ranking system. We have decided to undergo this change in hopes that viewers can just enjoy the music. There are a lot of K-Pop stars in the music industry that have talent. We wanted to break free from the repetitive system, in which artists release new songs and perform, so we plan on redesigning our system by having the concept of more special stages. For viewers to enjoy the music, we will have more collaboration stages and much more." The revamped show, without Take 7 and Mutizen Song award, began on July 15, 2012.

On March 3, 2013, the program announced the revival of the chart system with Inkigayo Chart. The new chart is a collaboration with the Music Industry Association of Korea's Gaon Chart, and began March 17, 2013.

Digital Music Charts

Formerly known as Mobile Ranking, the Digital Music Charts takes into consideration the popularity of songs through downloads on mobile phones as well as downloads on music sites. Every week, it features five ranks with a special guest(s) to host the segment. This segment was abandoned mid-2009.

Campaign Songs

Throughout each episode, various artists are featured in campaign songs that raise awareness for certain topics or issues. Such campaigns include: safe driving, drinking milk, piracy, and various local events.

Take 7

Take 7 is the representative segment of Inkigayo. Every week, seven of the most popular songs of that week are featured, where most artists will perform. At the end of the show, the Mutizen Song ("Mutizen" is a portmanteau of "music" and "netizen", symbolizing a song chosen by netizens) which is the most popular song of the week, receives the award. This has replaced the regular countdown charts format seen in most music programs and eliminates the need to rank artists. One song can receive the award a maximum of three times; the following week, it is removed from the Take 7 list. This system was abolished on July 10, 2012.

Inkigayo Q

Viewers can ask a designated artist of the week questions through SBS mobile app Soty. During this interview segment, selected questions are asked and those users receive prizes for their participation. This segment began on February 17, 2013.

Inkigayo Showcase

A new stage to showcase talented indie and new artists who are hard to see on television each week. This segment began along with Inkigayo Chart on March 17, 2013.

Inkigayo Chart

After abolishing Take 7 in July 2012, a new chart system was implemented on March 17, 2013. The revived chart features fifty songs for viewers to vote on (like the previous Take 7 chart) through SBS mobile app Soty, combined with the Digital Song Chart and Offline Album Chart in collaboration with the Music Industry Association of Korea's Gaon Chart to create the Inkigayo Chart.

The chart is tracked from Monday to Monday of the following week.

Every song that has not yet won 3 times (i.e. Triple Crown) is eligible from this chart, regardless of when a song was released; however, OSTs, songs released through audition programs, and those deemed unsuitable (at SBS's discretion) are not eligible.

Explanations for each chart criterion:

• Broadcast: Number of times that a song is played on SBS.
• Digital sales: Number of streaming and downloads based on Korean charting. Currently, this is tracked on Melon, Genie, and FLO; it formerly included Bugs.
• Live-vote: Voting during the show. Currently, this is via STARPASS; it was previously via text message. This is always for 1st place nominees only.
• Physical album: Number of physical copies sold, based on the Gaon album chart.
• Video views or SNS: YouTube views, counted from official MVs only.
• Pre-voting: Voting and netizen choices, which happens before the show starts. Currently, voting is done via Melon; previously, it was through the Inkigayo website. This is held from Monday to Saturday.
