Changes

2020-05-28: digital cut to 45 %, global fan vote and social weights raised.
2022-04-14: digital back to 50 %, social down to 10 %.
2024-01: current 50 / 20 / 15 / 10 / 10 formula; Circle Global K-pop Chart and TikTok added.

Formula since: January 2024
Perfect score: 11,000 points
Voting: Mnet Plus app: a global pre-vote during the week and a live vote between the first-place nominees during the broadcast.
Win limit: Triple crown: a song can win three times, then leaves the chart.
Not confirmed: Whether the 11,000 cap still applies after the January 2024 revision. The split of the 15 % vote share between the global pre-vote and the live vote (sources disagree).
