News Melons upcoming changes (1 Viewer)

I'm for most of these changes as it makes sajaegi and fandom streaming harder and depending on how much the play all feature is used then it could help songs which barely chart be discovered more but the ranking change just seems tedious.

"Melon has announced big changes coming to its chart system.

The most major change will be made to the realtime chart. Currently, the realtime top 100 chart updates every hour based on the amount of hourly usage for each song. With the new change, the chart will still update every hour, but the chart will instead be calculated based on the number of unique users over the past 24 hours. The ranking numbers will also not be shown.

Another change will be made for those who use the “play all” feature with the top 100 chart. Previously, the “play all” feature would add the top 100 songs to the user’s playlist in the order that the songs are ranked on the chart, and a “shuffle all” option was recently added in early May. With the upcoming change, the songs will be shuffled by default when using the “play all” feature.”

Melon explained that these changes are being made to decrease focus on the competition and allow users to discover a more diverse range of trending music. The music site plans to continue seeking more ideas to improve its system.

The new chart system is expected to go into effect this summer."

It doesn't make sense for them to not show the ranking numbers in a top X list tho? They should rename it then, but I like what they are trying to do and as they said focus on discover new music rather than competition

It sounds like they changed it just to make it more tedious which it definitely will but only for the middle of the chart and if they swap it from 50 across 2 pages to displaying all 100 on 1 page then it'll be horrible to keep up with a song in the middle of the chart.

Pretty sure the ranking thing is related to the past hour. It makes no sense to remove the current ranking.

They're removing both the rank change and the rank itself so the only way to tell would be to count

That literally makes no sense, though. I guess we will see how it works.

I like the changes, except removing he rank numbers.... but overall my impression is positive!

I think they will regret those changes tbh

They might as Melon has been overrun by fandoms recently so hard to say how many of the public are actually on there but I think they kinda had to do it if they didn't want to be made irrelevant.
