There is a playlist done by K-fans so you can arrange the order of the songs in the playlist so that they are played at least once every hour.

Q: Which period are music show wins based on?
The music shows wins are based on efforts from the previous week
Artistes usually start winning in 2nd week of promotion and the result is derived from album sales, voting, streaming etc. from 1st week.
Once the week ends, everything is reset and calculated from 0 for next week.
Results from Week 2 will determine music show win on Week 3 and so on.
Needless to say, as album sales, streams etc tend to be higher during 1st week, the group is more likely to win during Week 2 than subsequent weeks
