Music shows are weekly broadcasts that allow K-pop artists to promote their newly released songs. Music show wins are an integral part of these programs.
Each show has its own voting and scoring method based on which songs that are released during the same time are judged. Out of the three top songs with the highest scores, one is chosen as the winner.
The winning song is usually considered to be the current favourite of the South Korean public. Artists appear on music shows to promote their newly released songs so as to reach a wider audience and also interact with their fans during the taping of the shows.
Hanteo charts are used as one of the criteria to calculate music show points. Some of the most popular music shows are Inkigayo, Music Bank, The Show, Show Champion, M Countdown, and Show! Music Core.
