The 25 K-Pop Songs With The Most Unique Listeners On Melon In The First Twenty-Four Hours

Melon, short for Melody On, is an online music store and streaming service in South Korea originally released in 2004. It’s actually the country’s biggest music subscription service, with over 28 million users that are able to stream and download music and music videos, as well as make ringtones.
