A comprehensive weekly chart will be created, listing the top 300 entries from those songs that ranked in either the Billboard JAPAN Hot 100's four metrics (radio airplay, CD sales, downloads, streaming, music video views, and karaoke) or the Top User Generated Songs chart.
Then, the year will be divided into six 2-month periods. For each period, the above-mentioned comprehensive weekly charts will be used to determine the top 2000 songs for each individual period.
Finally, the selected 2000 songs from below six periods will be arranged in order of points, and a year-end original chart will be created. For those songs that ranked in multiple periods, only the highest rank will be considered, the remaining duplicate entries will be removed. After removing the duplicates, all remaining songs on this year-end original chart that fall into the genre "International Hip Hop/Rap" will be considered entries.
