The Inkigayo Chart is a music program record chart on Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) that gives an award to the best-performing single of the week in South Korea. The chart measured digital performance in domestic online music services (5,500 points), social media via YouTube views (3,500 points), network on-air time (1,000 points), advanced viewer votes (500 points), and album sales (500 points) in its ranking methodology throughout January 2019.[1] Beginning on February 3, Inkigayo implemented modifications to its measurements of albums (up to 1,000 points) and social media (down to 3,000 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. Seventeen member Mingyu and DIA member Jung Chae-yeon had hosted the show together since November 11, 2018. Chae-yeon was replaced by actress Shin Eun-soo starting with the February 17 broadcast. Mingyu and Eun-soo continued to host the show together till October 6, when they were replaced by Monsta X member Lee Min-hyuk, NCT member Jaehyun and April member Lee Na-eun.

In 2019, 36 singles ranked number one on the chart and 28 music acts received award trophies for this feat. Four songs collected trophies for three weeks and earned a Triple Crown: Itzy's "Dalla Dalla", BTS's "Boy with Luv", IU's "Blueming", and Mamamoo's "Hip".[3][4][5][6] BTS accumulated a perfect score on the April 28 broadcast of Inkigayo with "Boy with Luv" when the song scored 11,000 points.[7] Eight artists ranked more than one single at number one in 2019.

Two other soloists had more than one number one single in 2019. Singer Taeyeon had two singles rank number one on the chart in 2019: "Four Seasons" in April and "Spark" in November. IU had two singles rank at number one achieved with "Love Poem" and "Blueming". The latter of these went on to attain a triple crown in December. Girl group Itzy had their first ever number one on the chart with their debut single "Dalla Dalla".[9] Their succeeding single "Icy" went on to rank number one for two weeks in August. Both singles spent a total of 5 weeks atop the chart, making Itzy the act with the most weeks at number one in 2019.
