Random Kpop Song Generator: Number Ones and Award Winners

How this list was compiled: Every song is on the list for a fact that can be looked up, not for anyone's taste. The facts were read on 2026-10-01 from English Wikipedia, and each row was compared with the fetched text again by script after this file was written. Three rules: (1) the song was number one on South Korea's national weekly digital chart, the Gaon Digital Chart, called the Circle Digital Chart since 2022 (the seventeen yearly pages from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gaon_Digital_Chart_number_ones_of_2010 to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Circle_Digital_Chart_number_ones_of_2026; the 2026 page was read part-way through the year); (2) it won Song of the Year at the MAMA Awards (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAMA_Award_for_Song_of_the_Year, 2006 to 2025) or at the Melon Music Awards (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melon_Music_Award_for_Song_of_the_Year, 2005 to 2025); winners only, no nominees; (3) it is in the Billboard Hot 100 table of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_K-pop_songs_on_the_Billboard_charts. A song is listed only if it has its own Wikipedia article and that article's infobox credits an act whose own article calls it South Korean, so number ones by foreign acts and songs with no article are left out, and so are the songs of two animated film groups. The act name, its spelling and the release year are the ones in the song's infobox, each read through the Wikipedia API that day; the kind of act (girl group, boy group, soloist, duo or band) is read from the opening of the first South Korean act's article. The year after each fact is the year of the first chart week, the ceremony or the first Hot 100 week. Left out on purpose, because children use this site: 9 titles with a swear word (spelled out or masked), or a drink, drug, sex or violence word, and 5 more after a person read every title and act (explicit songs and acts we chose not to print). At most five songs stand under one act, kept in this order: Song of the Year winners, songs with both a Korean number one and a Hot 100 entry, then by year; that rule took out 69. A sub-unit and a member's solo record count as acts of their own. The list holds 205 songs: 143 chart number ones, 27 Song of the Year winners and 70 Hot 100 entries, and a song can carry more than one. No lyrics, no recordings and no links to players are given, no member of a group is named, and nothing is said about a soloist beyond the act name on the record. Circle Chart is run by the Korea Music Content Association; MAMA Awards is a mark of CJ ENM, Melon of Kakao Entertainment, Billboard and Hot 100 of Billboard; they are named as facts and this site is not affiliated with any of them. The earliest release on the list is from 2007 and the latest from 2026, counted from the dataset. Review interval 12 months. Licence: own work
