Peak and number of weeks charting of K-pop acts' highest selling albums on European Markets

The site doesn't providence information from all European Markets, just SOME of them (Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Portugal), but It's still interesting to bring up, out of curiousity.

Also, I brought up stats only from million sellers with European distribution, to be fair. Some acts can only chart in all markets with digital/streaming, so obviously some will have advantage. But to be honest, these are most of the biggest acts currently, so I think It was well covered.

Quote from Kitty_Saurus

Its been 4 years since MoTS7 was released...

Hoping for an album in 2026...

I was sad when I had to search for 7 numbers, cause It just occurred to me since 2020 they don't have a proper album release, while everyone else's album is newer

Quote from Icaro_Ribeiro

Really great numbers for Get Up

Second biggest for a GG in both peaks and longevity

Hopefully a full length album will help eith streams and provide longer charting

Also Seventeen numbers lol. Anyone who denies they have a pretty big international fandom is judt delulu at this point

'Get Up' was NewJeans' first album with actual distribution on Europe and they were able to chart so good. Curious to see what their next album can do.

Quote from Elliah

Good job putting this together.

Stray Kids seems to definitely be the biggest in Europe after BTS and Blackpink, and also only the 3rd group to chart in my country

And I didn't know Seventeen charted like this!

I also noticed your country kind of rejects K-pop and only 3 groups charted. There isn't many K-pop fans where you live?

Quote from Elliah

Most people know what kpop is, but it's not very popular. There's barely any fans. In bigger cities you can find some fans of popular groups, but still nothing compared to other places. The market is really small already and people here still listen to our own artists a lot. It's rare that kpop songs gain traction (Cupid is popular though, but most don't know/think of it as kpop so..)

But it seems to be growing. And I've started to see more people selling + buying albums online, and even a lot of photocard trading which surprised me.

This is interesting. Here in my country, despite not being a small market, the population also values local artists the most. Even english speaking acts don't gain too much traction on our charts in comparison to local artists.

Quote from Chocolate-cheeks

This is really interesting data, do you know if any of these artists have certifications in these countries (other than BTS and BP)? I'd expect a few to have album certifications at least, if not song certifications.

Only Stray Kids, so far, with the certifications Elliah previously mentioned to you.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

My country doesn't have a chart, there's no way to know how many people listen to kpop. Everything can only be anecdotal

It means you can say LIMELIGHT is the biggest K-pop act in your country and no one will be questioning you

Quote from butterbutterfly

it's actually BILLLIE and I have proof

Both your home country and the country you live currently have charts so you won't be cheating, darling
