Girl group IVE takes out top spot in Favorite weekly chart
IVE topped Favorite's weekly chart for the fourth week of May.
Favorite is a K-pop fan poll co-developed by the digital streaming service Bugs and the JoongAng Ilbo, an affiliate of the Korea JoongAng Daily.
Weekly chart rankings are calculated through a combination of fan votes and an artist's number of streams on Bugs.
IVE topped the Weekly Favorite Chart, receiving a score of 39.3 percent, accounting for 1,558,233 votes and 6.9 percent of Bugs' streaming data.
Trot singer Lim Young-woong landed second with a 33.5 percent score, accounting for 1,531,656 votes and 1.7 percent of the Bugs streaming score. Boy band ZeroBaseOne landed third with a score of 11.4 percent.
IVE will be awarded a celebratory in-app banner on the Bugs phone app from Friday to Sunday, while Lim’s celebratory banner will be featured in the chart categories of the app.
