There are different ways to measure the popularity of a K-Pop song. You can look at YouTube views and likes, or album sales, or, in this case, streaming of digital singles. Gaon keeps tally of the most popular K-Pop songs based on their digital streams, and interestingly, the results can be really different from what one would expect based on other data measured!
