I have no idea why the ranking is almost the same for both as of right now…the current online ranking is all based on votes but overall these awards will be based on number of times that song has been played (30%), downloaded (50%) and other usage (20%). Combination of those factors amount to 80% and the rest are decided by user poll which starts on December 10th. (Allkpop)
