List of Music Bank Chart winners (2017)



The Music Bank Chart is a record chart established in 1998 on the South Korean KBS television music program Music Bank. Every week during its live broadcast, the show gives an award for the best-performing single on the South Korean chart. The chart includes digital performance on domestic online music services (65%), album sales (5%), number of times the single was broadcast on KBS TV (20%), and viewers' choice (10%) in its ranking methodology. The score for domestic online music services is calculated using data from Melon, Bugs, Genie Music and Soribada. Laboum member Ahn Sol-bin and actor Lee Seo-won hosted the show in 2017. Ahn Sol-bin began hosting the show in July 2016 while Lee Seo-won began hosting in November 2016.
