Instiz: Current Melon chart that makes this summer even hotter

- Ugh, this is some winter emotions

- Hate sajaegi

- I expected to see Chungha or Red Velvet

- It's because the machines are listening to the ballads

- Can people stop breaking up? It's hot enough already and the songs are so autumn.

- Seriously. This summer doesn't seem to have any refreshing song... The song titles make me sweat ㅋㅋㅋ

- Sistar used to take over the summer ㅠㅠ I miss them

Lee Hi and Jeon Somi chart high in the midst of YG's scandals

Pann: Are Somi and Lee Hi's ranks for real

1. [+152, -20] Melon has been unreliable for a while, though.

2. [+120, -3] I deleted all of YG's songs from my playlist.

3. [+107, -14] You still believe Melon chart?

4. [+34, -1] People seem to boycott YG only on Pann ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I go to a lot of community sites and none of them talks about boycotting YG except here. It's not like I'm boycotting them fiercely, I just skip their songs because it feels iffy. Even right now I just saw someone in the library who was listening to Winner's Ah Yeah.

5. [+31, -17] It's the machines, they're the agency of Shaun and Nilo~ They even manipulate Youtube views, it's nothing new.

6. [+31, -6] People aren't boycotting YG, it's not about Melon chart being unreliable ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even on the street, I hear so many YG songs.

7. [+19, -3] People around me who aren't YG stans are happy that Lee Hi is finally having a comeback and listen to her.

8. [+17, -8] No One is such a bad song, though. No lyrics, same repetitive song.

9. [+16, -3] YG must be desperate. They want people to think, "Oh, I thought people hated YG but seems like it's not true? The online and offline reactions are different, I'll just listen to them, then~" They must be pouring their souls into charting high right now. Of course, they're avoiding the #1 spot to make it look convincing~

10. [+13, -1] YG is going reckless now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ How can Jeon Somi chart high like that when she has neither a fandom or public popularity ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Pann: Music chart 10 years ago

1. [+168, -4] This is a legit chart. The music chart should be full of songs that the entire country knows. The current chart is a crazy result of idol fandoms and sajaegis.

2. [+120, -8] They say we're romanticizing the past but I think this was when the Korean music industry reached its peak. These days, the artists are setting new records but the quality keeps declining...

3. [+80, -3] That was when WonKaSo dominated the girl group scene. The rookies T-ara, f(x), and 2NE1 were rising fast.

4. [+40, -8] I want fandoms to stop lining up every b-side on the chart. I hate sajaegis and idol fandoms. What's the point of lining up every song when it's not even done by public popularity? Honestly, I can't tell the difference between idol fans streaming non-stop during school and sleep and sajaegis being streamed by machines.

5. [+27, -3] Gee managed to win #1 from all the songs... It's just daebak ㅋㅋ At that time, the entire country knew SNSD.

6. [+26, -0] Wow... Just by reading the name of the song, I can hear the chorus. I think that was the golden era of culture. The quality of the songs, the visuals, and the stages was the best. Because I experienced it, I don't feel as excited as that time.

7. [+20, -5] Idiots, that's an annual chart ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why would b-sides be on an annual chart?

8. [+19, -0] In the past, I used to go to Melon, play top 100, and listen until the end. But now, when I listen to top 100, I end up skipping every song.

Melon is unreliable with increasingly more sajaegi?

Pann: Melon chart these days

(Pann talks about Melon chart being unreliable due to sajaegis)

1. [+137, -1] The chart stays the same for months so it's boring for me.

2. [+131, -2] The problem is the public that knows a song is a sajaegi but doesn't bother to filter out the song. Idol stans are sensitive with the chart so they filter out sajaegis and call out artists like Shaun and Nilo all the time but the public listens to sajaegis without paying attention and thinks they're listening to underrated indie artists.

3. [+83, -2] They say you're a fool if you don't do sajaegi. My friend does music and he was contacted by a broker to get him charted higher by marketing. The broker named a few artists and said the artists got popular this way. The broke said you're a fool if you don't do it and that even big idol fandoms contact him for it. He said rookie artists these days must do it if you want to compete against them. A rookie artist or an indie artist's song is climbing back on the chart? It's 100% sajaegi.

4. [+44, -0] Honestly, since one day, there started to be so many nugus on the chart. Why are there so many songs that climb back on the chart now?

5. [+43, -0] Agreed. Is the #1 song right now also a sajaegi? It's such a nugu but it's #1.

6. [+28, -15] But people only use Melon.

7. [+26, -0] The sajaegi artists are shamelessly denying their obvious cheating and they gain a lot of listeners. Now it seems like any artist is jumping to doing sajaegi ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So frustrating

8. [+23, -0] Who even listens to the #1 song on Melon right now? I've never seen anyone who listens to the song.

9. [+22, -0] Lee Hi is #1 right now. People talk about filtering out YG but seems like they still listen to YG.

10. [+19, -0] I stream my bias all the time but it doesn't chart any higher whereas other nugus chart so much easier.

11. [+15, -0] I don't want to see YG songs, either.

12. [+15, -0] Sajaegi + YG... No wonder why they take the public for fools.

Kim Gura's son MC Gree charts high with his debut single

MC Gree's 'Nineteen' charting at #1

-

Pann: MC Gree's entry rank is #1

1. [+43, -5] He improved a lot... and the song sounded sad

2. [+42, -7] It's a good song

3. [+38, -5] The song was good

4. [+23, -0] I don't understand why people are calling him a golden spoon. Since he was young, he appeared on broadcast with his dad and lived in one room. They had a tough life and they also lost all of the money they earned... We shouldn't talk about other people's families but he's definitely not a golden spoon.

5. [+12, -1] It was my first time of crying after listening to a song... I might sound dramatic but I've never heard a song that's as sincere as this. His life was so different from mine and I couldn't relate at all but I could fully relate to his sincerity... He also raps well ㅠㅠ I became a fan with the song. MC Gree hwaiting!!

6. [+11, -0] #1 wasn't his entry rank, he was #1 on the actual chart.

7. [+10, -0] I honestly wouldn't say he's good at rapping. After listening to hardcore raps that diss and brag about money, his song sounded bland like an egg without salt. But after a few listens, I felt the bitter taste in it. I could relate a lot. I can't say he's talented but he's better than tryhards and dissers. Some people call him a golden spoon and yes he got some benefits. But to reach #1, that's not enough. I hope there would be more raps like his. Autobiographic raps and cheering raps. Why do all raps have to be with thick makeup, disses, and bragging? It's a prejudice. This is why I only like Yoon Mirae and Epik High. I still have to keep an eye on him but I think I'll like him.

8. [+9, -0] He hit the roof, he'll last long. Kim Gura's power is amazing.

9. [+8, -2] He's currently #2 ㅋㅋ Twice is an unbeatable wall.
