A Korean version of the U.S. Billboard charts will be unveiled later this month.

The Korea Music Content Industry Association announced Thursday that it will launch the “Gaon Chart” on February 23rd.

The chart will tabulate the relative weekly popularity of songs or albums in the nation. “Gaon” is a Korean word that means “middle.”

Six online music services, including Melon, will take part in tabulating online sales of music, while leading record distribution companies, including Sony Music and Mnet Media, will participate in calculating overall album sales.
