The Best selling albums worldwide in pure albums sales of 2020 (NUMBERS INCLUDED)

BTS and kenshi. My favs.

5. Blackpink – The Album – 1.5 million

Congrats to everyone on the list

Never heard of King Gnu. Also didn't know Kenshi could sell in the millions, let alone selling 2.5 millions

I'm proud as hell of BLACKPINK, the 2nd best selling female album of the year in pure sales when like 5 of the main pop girls released albums in 2020. First girl group to even appear on this list since Destiny's Child in 2004. The power they hold.

Congrats to BTS as well for the domination.

BTS with 3 albums, its what global domination actually looks like

NCT and Seventeen?

Didn't they sell more than a mil?

I’m proud of BTS and Blackpink. Now we have both BG and GG Asian representatives on a global scale. It maybe nothing to some of you, but to me it’s huge.

And shout out to the boomer representative AC/DC too! Totally unexpected lol

Dunno about NCT but it's suspected on Goldenderby (music forum) Pledis didn't submit their numbers since they didn't show up last year either when their sales should definitely have gotten them in the top 10 in 2019 and this year as well + Pledis is definitely incompetent enough to do that

this only count physical copy sales?

didnt count digital sales?

I just checked Gaon, and SVT and NCT sold 1.38 million/1.12 million and 1.29 million, respectively. Thus, they should be included.

So this begs the question, if this ranking is dependent on companies submitting their own numbers, how can we even be sure that it's complete/accurate?

Did sm not report for nct? I thought they had over 1 million? Same with seventeen
