Quote from blackjackdirecti

not just male idols, but all idols?

seems like Taeyeon sold 225k copies of her My voice album but this is a ranking for 3rd gen, and taeyeon is in 2nd gen.

LOL had to edit because I had to double check

Quote from daniel-cruz

Also, Kudos to EXO-Ls for not bragging about this

By saying

"He sold more than 2-5 combined"

Stay like this. Don't be arrogant. Be humble.

Also, I think Suho sold around 290K+, have you counted Kihno?

Gaon is really finicky with what they count. I don’t think kihno’s get counted

Quote from daniel-cruz

Time to update it, Kireta

Ooh thanks I’ll update it tomorrow (my time)

I think baekhyun’s Bambi is the only new entry?

New entries as of May 2021

Bambi - Baekhyun [#1]

R - Rose [#4]

Yellow - Kang Daniel [#8]

Quote from daniel-cruz

Should Single albums be counted?

It does come with a physical album and its counted on gaon so I would say it counts.

Quote from BlinkNation

Awesome! Baekhyun's music in particular is excellent. Excited to see Rosé on the list too

lisa's debut is happening soon as well i think she will an be on the list next update

[NEW] still counting*

D.O. Empathy 1st Solo Mini Album

Quote from novemberrain

Quote from novemberrain

yea I didn't count kit sales since gaon chart doesn't count it I think. Suho was top 10 but D.O. placed #9 so he got bumped out

Quote from novemberrain

oh okay could you make a top 15 list if it is possible when you have free time

I think I might. Imma see if I can do an overall list too.

novemberrain i updated the list with the top 15! I went through all of GAON for every month, year to make sure I counted all the sales

Quote from Minazuki

EXO doesnt have a soloist that isnt successful

all 6/9 members who made a solo debut made it to the list. I'm so happy

waiting for Minseok, Sehun and Chanyeol's solo albums in the future

exo soloists combined album sales = 4,115,267 million copies. shettttt

bambi only needs 300+ more copies to dethrone delight

Quote from omnimorphism

Interesting, IU would've made the list at #6 and #15. But she's not an idol.

oh wow I just checked and she sold 380k with LILAC

Kyungsoo might climb to top 7 soon

Wonder what his next gain update will be
