Chart point system

[edit]

In 2013, the show switched from a pre-recorded format to a live show format. New changes to the show started with the episode on January 30, 2013.[6] Since 2015 it also has a Triple Crown system used in Inkigayo and The Show, where the song is not eligible for top 3 anymore after winning three times.[citation needed]

Starting from July 14, 2021, Show Champion revealed the scores like every other show on their website, instead of just announcing winners. The tracking time is also revealed to be from Monday to Sunday.

Every song, as long as they are in the week's pre-vote list and have not yet had a triple-crown, is eligible for this chart. Though Show Champion is a cable music show, there's no requirement for artists to attend or promote. The time limit in the pre-vote list is unknown.

Criteria that is currently used and was used in Show Champion ranking system:

Period covered Chart system

2018 – February 12, 2020[8] 10% 30% 10% 40%
February 12, 2020 – July 7, 2021[9] 20% 50% (digital + physical) N/A 10% 20%
July 14, 2021 – present[10] 45% 15%
