The 25 K-Pop Songs With The Most Unique Listeners On Melon In The First Twenty-Four Hours

Melon, short for Melody On, is an online music store and streaming service in South Korea originally released in 2004. It’s actually the country’s biggest music subscription service, with over 28 million users that are able to stream and download music and music videos, as well as make ringtones.

They keep track of the data collected from the streaming and downloading services as well, which can show what kinds of trends are popular and performing well in the music industry. One of the things they can look at is the number of “unique listeners” for a song, which is simply how many individuals have listened to a song rather than the total streams a song has.

Since this is a much better indicator of how many people are actually listening to certain songs, looking at how many unique listeners a song has can make it more obvious which ones have caught people’s attention! Here are the 25 K-Pop songs that had the most unique listeners in the 24 hours after their initial release.
