Voting for Melon's Top 10 Artists category opened on the Melon Music website on November 11 and continued until November 20.

The longlist of nominees was selected based on a chart performance score (60% downloads and 40% streams) for each artist combined with weekly Melon Popularity Award votes achieved during the eligibility period.
