Here’s The Ranking For All SM Entertainment Artists’ Broadcast Points On “Music Bank” For The Entire Year
What are “broadcast points”? The “broadcast points” component of music shows are always a mystery for fans. Although different shows may have different standards, for Music Bank, singers can stack up broadcast points in different ways. Singers get more points if they promote their songs on shows, or appear in various broadcasts. Radio show song requests may also add points to this component, explaining why Korean fans always try to send in radio song dedications using their group’s title song.
