Shalom.
Welcome to the 11th edition of the K-Popjustice Charts!!!
Oh, and as of right now (as in, this exact moment), I can no longer relate to IU's ode to twenty-fifthdom.
Because I am now a twenty-six year old human
No but seriously, it feels good. It feels great. It feels... the same? Kii.
It's the first day of my twenty-sixth year in this universe. Please bear with me. I'm still adjusting.
Anyway, since it is my birthday (or birth month), Imma change some rules. Very minimal and temporary but some changes nonetheless.
FIRST CHANGE:
You can vote for a maximum of 11 songs and 6 albums this time.
Yes, you read it right. Because it's August and there are a shit ton of new awesome releases, I will let y'all vote for one more song and album. Your number 1 song will get 11 points while your number 1 album will get 6 points.
If you don't want to vote for 11 songs, that is cool! I will still accept your ballot but I can't promise I won't add NCT Dream's new single as your 11th choice. xoxo
SECOND CHANGE:
More songs and albums will make our chart.
This is pretty obvious. Since we'll be allowed to vote for more songs and albums, I think it's rational that more songs and albums should make our chart. I'm talking about the main chart here. Currently, our main chart consists of 20 songs and 10 albums. But for this month only, we may be able to see 30 songs and 15 albums on our main chart. Everything will depend on the number of songs and albums that will get voted by us.
THIRD CHANGE:
Uh, I think two changes is enough for now. Kii.
So here are our updated rules just for this month:
1. Send a chart ranked #1 to #11 for songs and #1 to #6 for albums to me via new conversation. (EDIT: Y'all can now just vote for a minimum of three albums instead of five.)
2. The albums can be full length, mini album, or single album.
3. The songs can be singles, album tracks, or anything you want.
4. The songs and albums can be released whenever.
5. The charts should be what you've been listening to in the past month.
6. Your #1 ranked song gets 11 points and your #1 ranked album gets 6.
7. The total points earned builds the chart.
8. Ties are broken by # of voters, then by quality of votes received, and are left as a tie if we still can't break parity.
9. You can have whatever commentary you'd like with your votes.
10. Your full ballot will be revealed individually as we build the chart.
Please read Number 2 rule again:
The albums can be full length, mini album, or single album.
Yes, you read it right, cystren. We'll be accepting single albums again BUT THESE ALBUMS SHOULD AT LEAST CONTAIN THREE SONGS. These three songs should not be intros, outros, instrumentals or remixes.
I decided to include single albums again because frankly, a lot of K-pop artists use this type of release and it would not be fully representative of K-pop if we don't count these releases. I mean, even the Gaon Charts include single albums in their charts. Hehe.
FRIENDLY REMINDER:
Because this is a chart for K-pop, only K-pop songs and albums are eligible. For a song or album to be classified as K-pop, it should be released by a Korean artist/group in whatever language. Exception: former foreign members releasing their own material (Meng Jia, Luhan, Kris, Tao). This also means that even Japanese releases are allowed to appear in our charts as long as they are sung by K-pop artists (f(x)'s Cowboy).
Now let's get to work.
Deadline is on September 2, 2017, Saturday, 00:00 KST.
PMs will be sent three days before the deadline to remind/threaten everyone to vote.
