Why include solos and units for group sales?

To inflate sales?

Twice and BTS though. Red Velvet made it into this top.

I didn't expect g.o.d to be so high up!

Removing the solos and subunits...

EXO sold 13M+ which is nothing short of exception. The "True Kings of KPOP"

Exo: 96 % Korean sales.

I wonder what would happen if they put out an English single now🤔😎

Putting out doesn't actually mean if you don't actively promote it....and it's highly unlikely they would do that since they are not targeting that market.

I know😊

But they could and then go on a world tour

There's currently 0% possibility for any type of english single, however Touring is 100% possibly once this pandemic ends

Those numbers are all kinda wrong.. bp are at 2,7 million.

Four JYP boy groups and one JYP girl group in the Top 25. I don't know why people tend to underplay the achievements of the male groups of the company. There's literally one from each generation up there. (1st - g.o.d., 2nd - 2PM, 3rd - GOT7, 4th - Stray Kids).

BTS are the only group with 7 members in top10 and the only one who have Kim Namjoon as their leader

BTS as always on the top. Coming for being the 7th Artist to achieve the "Diamond Award" to join the league of legendary Artists.

And Twice is incredible. A girl group sold 10Million albums.

I wasn't aware SHINee sold more than SJ. Are these numbers really accurate?

At no point in their career did SHINee sell more than SJ so this looks quite improbable to me.

It radiates the same energy of combining the sales of repackage albums to give it a name of achievement. IKR.

it includes solo sales, so they get a pretty big bump from Taemin and Jonghyun's solo releases

Probably I guess.

It makes more sense than considering solo and unit sales for group IMO.

Twice #5 without those extra solo and subunits' album sales is simply amazing.

Congrats, everyone!

I mean suju has had tons of solos too

SHINee has been a steady seller + bigger Japaneses fan base

congratz for all acts

bts numbers re amazing

Congratulation twice for 5th rank

And happy to see Kara in 14th

SM domination

I don’t think this list is an accurate representation of the rankings, because sub-units and solos are not counted together when it comes to official rankings.

Here is a more accurate list of top 100 best-selling K-Acts:

Quote from Serendipity2000

woah the difference is shocking

Yeah, that’s because they do not count solos nor sub-units with groups, plus they also leave out DVD/BD sales due to lack of info/credibility.

BTS are now at 35.1m after 'Butter'. I guess this was made before that update. Otherwise this is correct.

Yeah, it’s just a tad-bit outdated but other than that the rankings are correct. 😅

BangTwice let's get it!!!!

Quote from barnaby

Those numbers are all kinda wrong.. bp are at 2,7 million.

No, the 600k extra are from rosé

All of BP added make like 6 albums total

get your gg member solo to sell 600k, easy no?

Twice coming in the top 5 like the queens they are!!!!

Hopefully BP release a album soon and gets a good boost.

Their sales are pretty good considering how little they released.

exo only has like 13 million sales.

BTS, the group that dominates, periodt. No 'what ifs', no alternate worlds...

The True Legendary Kings!!
