Digital Guide
Korea side: voting schedule: starts Friday
Notice: we will only have 3 days of data recording (Fri-Sun) for the 1st week. Sat and Sun will normally have data recording delay plus no shipping. So it will be harder for music show wins, but it is not impossible if our 1st day sales are high.
Check out this thread for different ways to join Korea streaming: buy your streaming pass, get into streaming team (with free passes) etc.
stays pls consider streaming on kplatforms and get at least A DOWNLOAD PASS, on mucore we got 1,139 digital pts for MANIAC (3 days of tracking)and total of 3,677 pts while no.1 got 7,588 pts, mucore used GAON for digitals so DOWNLOADs can make a huge impact on digitals. pic.twitter.com/UordJCsFwd

This cb is clearly targeting Billboard cause Bb starts tracking on Friday. Digital for Billboard below:
Overall the key point is to buy the track if you can. Stream with youtube premium/ free trial or other premium streaming/ free trial accounts (apple, spotify etc.). These count more than a normal stream.

Radio
This is an important area for Hot100, but Kpop overall has a hard time getting into. You can read the detail analysis here, so I would say not too much of guides going on.
The only thing that works previously is requesting the songs on iHeartRadio’s Saturday night live request hour, #MostRequestedLive, and any other radio that we can interact with.
One more note: It appears that Div1 will do something about radio this comeback, so we can expect some radio interviews. They are inexperienced with kpop in general, and the interview culture will be different. So I guess, we need to prepare to deal with some "questionable" interviews with grace!
