VOTING

Voting is an essential part of achieving recognition for CIX. As they performed on all six music shows, they will do so again so it's very important to know how to vote on all six.

Digital streams are counted on Naver, Bugs, Genie, and Melon.
SNS categories count YouTube MV views (stream!!!), Twitter (ex. using #씨아이엑스 or @CIX_official), and Weibo

Idol Champ has three different currencies, two of which are used for voting.
Ruby and blue chamsims are used primarily for voting and ads.
Ruby chamsims are gained through ads (two per ad) and blue chamsims are gained through quizzes (erased every 1st day of the month).
Quiz answers can be found on @onlyquizanswers on Twitter! The other form is the star chamsims, which are achieved the same way as ruby except one per ad watched and are used for ads (great for group promos!).
They are found in the top right corner shop icon.

WHERE TO BUY ALBUMS

Links to Websites that will count as Album sales on Shows

• ChoiceMusicLA
• SubK Shop
• Kpop Mart

There are way more websites that also count towards the charts but I highly recommend these, as they have good customer service and quality when it comes with handling your albums!
