The Circle Digital Chart, previously known as the Gaon Digital Chart, is the music industry standard record chart ranking the 200 most popular singles in South Korea. It provides rankings on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis, which is based on an aggregate of streaming, downloads and background music from major South Korean music platforms,[1] as well as video ringback tone sales from the V Coloring app.[2] It is a part of the Circle Chart, previously known as the Gaon Chart.
The Gaon Digital Chart was launched as a part of the Gaon Chart in February 2010, by Korea Music Content Association and South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.[3] It started with compiling data from six major South Korean music platforms Melon, Dosirak, Mnet.com, Bugs, Cyworld, and Soribada.[4]
Spotify Korea was included from chart starting December 2021.[5] Apple Music Korea was included from chart starting July 2022.[6] In July 2022, Gaon Chart was rebranded as the Circle Chart.[7] It currently compiles data from Apple Music, Spotify, Melon, Bugs, Vibe, Genie, Flo, Samsung Music, and V Coloring.[8]
In August 2023, the Korea Music Content Association announced that Circle Chart will no longer include muted music streams, which accounted for over 7% of weekly domestic streaming, in their chart data.[9]
