Every week during its live broadcast, the show gives an award for the best-performing single on the South Korean chart.
The chart includes digital performance on domestic online music services (65%), album sales (5%), number of times the single was broadcast on KBS TV (20%), and viewers' choice (10%) in its ranking methodology.
[4][5] Actress Shin Ye-eun and Golden Child member Choi Bo-min were announced as new hosts the following week.
"Boy with Luv" by BTS and American singer-songwriter Halsey won for seven weeks and is the song with the most wins of the year.
Two other boy groups ranked more than one single at number one on the chart in 2019: Got7 with "Eclipse" and "You Calling My Name", and Seventeen with "Home" and "Fear".
