Starting from the 19th, Music Bank changed the way broadcast points are scored, which make up 20% of a singer's final score. Before, every time a song was played on any program, including news, it counted as 1 point. They changed it so that news programs are excluded and so that songs can only count once even if they are played several times on the same show.

1. [+614, -33] Wouldn't expect anything less from Music Bank ㅋㅋ Psy will have a harder time winning #1 on Music Bank than on the Billboard

2. [+539, -82] I still can't forget the time they gave Soshi a trophy for 9 weeks... No matter their popularity, that was going too far

3. [+406, -22] From the perspective of the broadcast officials, I can see why they wouldn't want to have nobody on stage to receive a trophy for 16 weeks in a row ㅋㅋ Their intentions are obvious but it's understandable

4. [+361, -10] This is not that bad considering the amount of times Music Bank has manipulated the scores in the past

5. [+328, -10] Winning #1 on music programs like this only brings joy to the stupid fangirls. It has no effect on the actual digital charts at all ㅋㅋ Who would acknowledge a song as #1 on Music Bank when it's not even in the top 10 on digital charts?

6. [+251, -7] They're wrong, they should've gotten rid of broadcast points all together or lessen the percentage

7. [+239, -14] They need to take out Psy and other talented artists out of the idol charts, it's only dirtying their names ㅡㅡ Just stick all the talentless kids onto one chart and let them take turns winning #1 and #2

8. [+186, -6] Psy's on Billboard's level now, Manipulation Bank is beneath him

9. [+157, -12] Our country has a long way to go if we want to catch up with the Oricon chart tsk tsk.. Look at all the talented artists who can't even promote because they're hidden behind the idols. As if that isn't enough, idols are going around stealing other jobs as well. Idols were only great until the second generation... They're nothing but a cancer to the industry now.

10. [+140, -4] Music Bank is funny all around... Gangnam Style winning #1 for 16 weeks was funny, and Gentleman ranked in 4th this week was funny... Just get rid of the charts.

11. [+134, -8] That's great, you can give that trophy to an idol as planned then
