[edit] History

The Music Trend debuted as SBS Popular Song in 1991 as a chart show, but was canceled in Autumn 1993. It was later revived in 1998 with its original title and format. In 2003, the chart format was removed and was replaced by Take 7, where seven of the most popular artists from the week are featured and the most popular artist receives the award for Mutizen[nb 1] Song.

In Spring 2007, the program changed from a recorded broadcast to a live broadcast in an effort to boost ratings, as well as changing the English name to The Music Trend. On November 2, 2008, the program moved from 3:20 PM to 4:10 PM Sunday afternoons, airing before Good Sunday, also to boost ratings. In Spring 2010, the program expanded to 70 minutes beginning at 3:50 PM every Sunday.

[edit] Segments

[edit] Super Rookie

Every week, a "rookie" artist or group performs live on stage. At the end of the month, a "Super Rookie" is chosen, through votes from The Music Trend homepage, and is featured that month.[2]

[edit] Digital Music Charts

Formerly known as Mobile Ranking, the Digital Music Charts takes into consideration the popularity of songs through downloads on mobile phones as well as downloads on music sites. Every week, it features 5 ranks with a special guest(s) to host the segment.

[edit] Take 7/Mutizen Song

Take 7 is the representative segment of The Music Trend. Every week, 7 of the most popular songs of that week are featured, where most artists will perform. At the end of the show, the Mutizen Song (뮤티즌송) which is the most popular song[nb 2] of the week receives the award.[4] This has replaced the regular countdown charts format seen in most music programs and eliminates the need to rank artists.

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ "Mutizen" is a portmanteau of "music" and "netizen".
  2. ^ One song can only receive the award a maximum of 3 times. The following week, it is removed from the Take 7 list (and replaced by its next feature song the week after).
  3. ^ Both Taecyeon and Wooyoung were on hiatus for 5 weeks due to the Jaebeom incident. Guests hosts took their place until they returned.
