Peak
Peak (abbreviated as PK) refers to the highest chart position a song or album has achieved on the King Warz Chart.
When a song has multiple variants (such as live versions, remixes, or acoustic versions), the peak position is shared across all variants. This means that even if a live version of a song reaches a new peak, the standard version will reflect that same peak, and vice versa. However, certifications and plays can be calculated individually for each variant, even though the peak position remains consistent.
Key Features of PK
- Highest Chart Position: PK indicates the top position a song has ever reached on the charts, regardless of how many times it has moved up or down since.
- Shared Across Variants: All versions of a song (standard, live, remix, etc.) share the same peak position, even if they chart separately at different times.
- Multiple Peak Occurrences: If a song reaches its peak position more than once, the number of times it has peaked can be shown (e.g., 1² for two times at #1).
