Kworb does not publish a full methodology for its “popularity” values and labels some of its figures as estimates. Wikipedia’s [[Wikipedia:Record charts#Websites to avoid|record‑charts guideline]] lists Kworb among websites that should not be treated as authoritative for sales and chart figures because its estimates are not based on official data. Editors are therefore discouraged from citing Kworb as a primary source for chart positions, although its data is commonly used to illustrate the popularity of certain songs or artists in secondary reporting.{{Efn|Attributed to mention of "Kworb" in articles by the [[BBC]],<ref name=BBC/> [[Loudwire]],<ref name=Loudwire/> [[Rolling Stone]],<ref name=RollingStone/> and [[Screen Rant]]<ref name=ScreenRant/>}} | Kworb does not publish a full methodology for its “popularity” values and labels some of its figures as estimates.
