The Inkigayo Chart is a music program record chart that gives an award to the best-performing single of the week in South Korea. Up until February 1, 2015, the chart measured digital performance in domestic online music services (6,000 points), social media via YouTube views (3,500 points), and advanced viewer votes (500 points) in its ranking methodology. The candidates for the number-one song of the week received additional points from live votes (1,000 points). [ 1 ] Beginning on February 8, Inkigayo implemented modifications for its measurements of digital performance (down to 5,500 points) and added album sales (500 points). [ 2 ] Songs that spend three weeks at number one are awarded a Triple Crown and are removed from the chart and ineligible to win again. The show was hosted by five different people across the whole year. Hwang Kwang-hee , Kim Yoo-jung and Hong Jong-hyun had hosted the show together since December 28, 2014.
