[4TH PICK]
*These shops carry very low chances of ranking reflection.
-Synnara Offline stores except for those stated above
-Small-scale Hanteo chart stores

[TIP] Where it never helps to buy:
1. CD departments of super markets (E-Mart, Lotte Mart, Homeplus)
2. Large-scale online open market (G-Market, Auction, 11st)
3. Stores owned by large-scale online open markets or malls (Like stated above)
4. Interpark malls owned by private holders

[TIP II] How to kill two charts with one purchase
-KBS Music Bank K-Chart calculates their ranking as a total score of Hanteo Chart + Synnara Chart + Hottracks Chart. That means purchases in Synnara and Hottracks can be reflected twice in the K-Chart.

-Only purchases in online and selected offline Synnara stores can be reflected in Synnara Chart and Hanteo Chart.

-Purchases in Kyobo Hottracks Offline stores are reflected in Hottracks Charts + Hanteo Chart. However purchases in online Kyobo stores will not be calculated in Hottracks Charts.

[SUMMARY] Most of the Music Chart Calculations are made through purchases in:
-Selected Synnara Offline Stores
-Synnara Online (www.synnara.co.kr)
-Kyobo Hottracks Offline Stores
-Kyobo Hottracks Online (www.hottracks.co.kr)

[TIP III] When purchasing at offline stores
Make sure to take receipts as many as your purchases (One receipt per album).
*Purchasing 100 albums but taking one receipt means that the calculations will be taken as one album:'(
