Top 10 Most Successful K-Pop Albums by Idol Groups

Bruh.... The title made me think EXO was to be included.... But then I saw the list and was disappointed.... But then again, These albums have higher stats....

Also, First.

Mots 7 is IFPI's top 1 as well.

Mots 7 is that album. critical acclaim, sales and streams!

Fair list. Damn BTS's have massive sales

Korean digitals

World digitals

All around performance . Thats why their EAS grows so fast, because artists either have huge sales or huge streams. But not both of them

They are adding 15 million in every 9 months now to their career total

Their masters is worth in 100s of millions !

BTS as expected!! But I'm so happy to see BP and BB here! Their albums were truly iconic too!

This list is unbiased, as I always try to be. BP more than deserves their spot.

I know. You really go all out with statistics which is why I agree with the list.

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

DMUMT would be fighting with HYYH Young Forever for that 11th spot.

Oh wow. DMUMT is my personal favorite out of these. You know what? You should make your all time top 10 KPOP albums thread based on your personal opinion....

It would be interesting, I think.

Don't you think wings should be ranked above, as it was released in between digital and streaming era? And sold over 8 million downloads worldwide and then have huge amount of streams too. ( chartmasters reference )

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

I can try that later on. I do have a lot I enjoy.

Yeah. Looking forward to it.

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

MADE has millions of Chinese digital sales that have not been counted by IFPI, so MADE stays where it is.

Thnx for clairifying. I had no idea about Made. Even though pricing matters too. ( As ifpi downweighted 40 million chinese song this year to number 7 ) . Wings spotify and high physicals get that advantage. But it is matter of long debate

blackpink being the only girl group here, blackpink is the revolution :))

may bis basses dod so wile!!! They sold alt kjehe albums!

Biggest flex on the list:

You never walk alone was the repackage of Wings. The list didn't combine the stats of these 2 albums for placing them on the list Inspite of that both are on the list with their seperate stats.

How can it not be when Queen spring day is on You never walk alone & wings being the best album.

BTS domination, as expected. They do have both the critical acclaim and the commercial success.

What about Seo Taiji & The Boys and first gen? Seo Taiji sold over 2m per album. I think they should be somewhere on the list.

If youre combining MADE singles with album, you should also add Dynamite physicals sales to BE (40k vinyls + cassettes at minimum + Dynamite CD sales). I dont actually agree with combining at all, but well.
