Circle Reveals Year-End Digital And Album Charts For 2023

Circle Chart (formerly known as Gaon Chart) has published its year-end charts for 2023!

On January 12, Gaon officially released its yearly digital and album charts for the past year.

Because the yearly charts are based on accumulated weekly data since the beginning of January 2023, songs and albums released earlier in the year have more weekly scores included in their results.
