Chapter 90

At 8:00 PM on July 5, the rankings for the first week of July on the Chinese Original Music Chart were refreshed on time. The Chinese Original Music Chart, or Original Sound Chart for short, was jointly established by the Chinese Musicians Association along with dozens of media outlets including Feixun Music, NetEase, and Popular Radio. With its professional musical attitude, rigorous review system, and credible data collection, it had become a highly authoritative pop music chart in the country. The Original Sound Chart was published every weekend, ranking the top 50 current domestic pop songs based on their popularity index. This index was calculated using a fixed formula derived from data provided by major music media outlets, including streaming, downloads, on-demand plays, and purchases.
