# TME Wave Chart

Launched in November 2020, the TME Wave Chart is a monthly ranking of the top songs in China compiled based on scores and recommendations from more than 250 music industry professionals. The name, Wave (浪潮), symbolizes the new wave of music.

## Eligibility and ranking

Eligible songs include songs released by Chinese artists or songs in Chinese, with China as the main distribution region and regardless of which platform they are released on (different from the TME UNI Chart).
Ranking is determined in two stages: nomination and scoring.
* From the 1st of the previous month to the 7th of the current month, recommenders of the TME Wave Chart committee nominate and vote for the eligible songs released in the previous month. They then select 20 shortlisted songs based on the nomination votes.
* From the 8th to the 15th of the current month, recommenders of the TME Wave Chart committee conduct multi-dimensional evaluation and comprehensive scoring of the shortlisted songs. The songs are scored based on the following five categories, each worth ten points: lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, and vocals. The top 20 songs are then ranked based on the average of the five scoring categories.
The finalized ranking of songs is then released on the 20th of the current month.
