Scores are the figures on Circle Chart's yearly Digital Chart for 2025, which Soompi describes as weighted streaming numbers, download counts, background-music sales and V Coloring sales accumulated through 2025; a score is not a stream count.¹² Because the chart accumulates over the year, songs released earlier had longer to build a score, and Circle's chart can include older songs.² Ranks are Circle's own: rank 19, "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, is left out as a non-Korean act, so the table runs 1–18 and 20–26. Song titles are as Soompi gives them, with Hangul where Circle lists the artist or title in Korean; "Distributor" is the company Circle lists. Circle asks that its charts not be used for AI/ML training or text and data mining, so DabPop cites single published figures only.
