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 measures digital performance in domestic online music services (5,500 points), social media via YouTube views (3,000 points), album sales (1,000 points), network on-air time (1,000 points), and advanced viewer votes (500 points) in its ranking methodology.[1] A methodology used since February 3, 2019. Songs that spend three weeks at number one are awarded a Triple Crown and are removed from the chart and ineligible to win again. In 2020, the show was hosted by Monsta X member Lee Min-hyuk, NCT member Jaehyun and April member Lee Na-eun. They had been hosting the show together since October 20, 2019.
