List of Inkigayo Chart winners (2017)
The Inkigayo Chart is a music program record chart that gives an award to the best-performing single of the week in South Korea. The 2017 chart measured digital performance in domestic online music services, social media via YouTube views, advanced viewer votes, and album sales in its ranking methodology. The candidates for the number-one song of the week received additional points from live votes. Utilization of live votes was discontinued in February. Songs that spend three weeks at number one are awarded a Triple Crown and are removed from the chart and ineligible to win again. Twice member Jeongyeon, actress Gong Seung-yeon, and actor Kim Min-seok had hosted the show since July 2016 and continued to do so until January 22, 2017. Got7 member Park Jin-young, Blackpink member Jisoo, and NCT member Doyoung were announced as new hosts the following week.
In 2017, there were 30 singles that ranked number one on the chart and 22 music acts received award trophies for this feat. Eight songs collected trophies for three weeks and earned a Triple Crown: BigBang's "Fxxk It", IU's "Palette", Blackpink's "As If It's Your Last", Sunmi's "Gashina", BTS's "DNA", and Twice's "Knock Knock", "Signal", and "Likey". Five acts ranked more than one single at number one on the chart in 2017. Boy groups Exo and BTS achieved two singles at number one with "Ko Ko Bop" and "Power", and "Spring Day" and "DNA", respectively. BTS's "DNA" went on to achieve a triple crown in October.

Girl group Red Velvet ranked three number one singles on the chart in 2017: "Rookie", "Red Flavor", and "Peek-a-Boo". The only other girl group to rank more than one single at number one was Twice. They ranked four singles at number one on the chart throughout the year. Their singles "Knock Knock", "Signal", and "Likey" ranked number one for three weeks each and achieved triple crowns in 2017, while "Heart Shaker" went on to achieve a triple crown the following year.
