Furthermore, Melon highlights Artist of the Month and Recommended New Tracks of the Month, ensuring that diverse and talented musicians receive the attention they deserve. The Artist of the Month is carefully selected from musicians who have recently released music in South Korea, while the Track Zero Recommended New Tracks are chosen from songs released within the past three to four months.
