Our charts are based on the number of tracks played by all Paid Members on any KKBOX platform, including our Web Player.

The results cannot be purchased or otherwise influenced by any individual. They're also used for royalty calculations, to show popular songs to KKBOX users, to determine KKBOX Music Award winners, and for various digital music-related research and other purposes.

The following is a breakdown of how we determine our various charts.

1. Daily Mix
This chart shows the top trending songs of the moment.

We compile this list by determining how many Paid Member have listened to a track in the past hour. For example, if 350,000 Paid Member have used KKBOX in the past hour, and 70,000 of them have listened to a song, that track's coverage rate is 20%. The Daily Mix chart is automatically updated every hour.

2. Daily and weekly charts
These charts are based on the number of times songs are played by Paid Member on any KKBOX platform, including our Web Player. We only count instances when a song is listened to in full, and will count up to 10 listens every day by a user from the same device or account (though this limit does not affect royalty calculations).

3. Annual chart
The annual chart is calculated by accumulating daily play counts for songs that meet the "Initial Release Date Range" and "Play Count Calculation Range" criteria. As such, the annual chart is a cumulative compilation of daily chart. The latest charts are updated and published daily.
　*Initial Release Date Range: December 1 of the previous year to December 31 of the current year
　*Play Count Calculation Range: January 1 to December 31 of the current year

Calculations close on December 31 each year, and the final annual cumulative chart results for each language are announced the following day, January 1, as the “Annual Top 100.”
(The above rules are implemented starting January 1, 2026.)

4. Daily chart categories
Our daily charts are divided into two types, new singles and singles, which are subdivided into various genres such as Mandarin, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

5. Weekly chart categories
Our weekly charts are divided into three categories, new singles, singles, and albums, which are subdivided into genres such as Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean, electronic, and hip-hop.

Reminder:
The data presented in our charts is for reference only. The actual number of times songs are played is stored on an online server and may differ from those presented. If a user listens to a song offline, this will be recorded and sent back to the server the next time they log on.
