Gaon just released the list of the most popular K-pop songs on its charts in March 2021. Unlike other popular international music charts such as Billboard, the tally only includes tracks that are performing very well in South Korea.
What is Gaon Music Chart?
For starters, the Gaon Music Chart tabulates the most listened to songs on a weekly basis. Similar to the Oricon Charts in Japan and the Billboard Charts in the U.S., the Korea Music Content Association and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism produce the list, which started in 2010.
