The Original Sound Music Chart, referred to as the Original Sound Chart, was jointly established by the Chinese Musicians Association alongside dozens of media outlets including Feixun Music, NetEase Music, and Popular Radio. It is the most authoritative pop music chart in the country.
The Original Sound Chart is published every weekend, ranking the top 50 domestic pop songs of the moment based on a popularity index. This index is calculated using a fixed formula derived from data provided by major music platforms, including streams, downloads, on-demand plays, and purchases.
In the domestic pop music scene, the rankings of the Original Sound Chart largely represent current musical trends.
