Entry Specifications

In accordance with the Entry Works / Entry Artist selection methodology, the points of songs and albums extracted in each period are aggregated by artist. From this list, the top 50 girls idol culture artists (group / solo) are selected for each period.

After all seven periods have concluded, the artists extracted from each period are combined and ranked by points. Duplicate entries are removed by retaining only the highest point total for each artist, and the top 50 artists are designated as Entry Artists.

※The entry work eligibility criteria do not apply to this category. All songs are considered regardless of their digital or physical release dates.
※Points from collaboration songs involving multiple artists are credited to the main artist.
※Only songs by domestic artists are eligible.
