Dikutip dari Soompi, Kamis, terdapat beberapa perubahan dalam menentukan pemenang penghargaan tahun ini, yakni vote dari penggemar tidak akan menjadi kriteria untuk penghargaan kategori Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, dan Album of the Year.

Pemenang kategori Artist of the Year dan Artsist Category Awards ditentukan berdasarkan 40 persen penilaian juri, 20 persen kinerja digital, 20 persen penjualan album fisik, 10 persen video musik, dan 10 persen platform musik global.
