Why NMIXX Won: Music Bank Score Breakdown
The two nominees’ reported scores show that NMIXX led IVE in broadcast-frequency, fan-vote and album points, while IVE scored higher in digital music and social media. The figures below are the awarded component scores, not percentages.
| Component | NMIXX | IVE |
|---|---|---|
| Digital music | 490 | 821 |
| Broadcast frequency | 4,089 | 3,064 |
| K-pop fan vote | 1,563 | 873 |
| Physical album | 1,565 | 792 |
| Social media | 68 | 112 |
| TOTAL | 7,775 | 5,662 |
The reported K-Chart weighting uses digital music (60%), broadcast frequency (20%), fan voting (10%), physical albums (5%) and social media (5%). Those percentages describe the categories’ weighting and should not be confused with the scores awarded to each finalist. The exact scoring window for this broadcast still needs the official weekly KBS bulletin.
