[TOP 15] Best Selling Kpop Album Each Year (2011-2019) | KGraph 

EXO STAYING ON TOP FOR HOW MANY YEARS OH MY GOD

Lanz Andrei yes because they're Kings After their company's attempts to reduce their fame, this was not achieved

can i ask why wings 2016 on top 2? because if we go to gaon chart wings is the best selling album of 2016

KGraph What about Blackpink??? Please!!!

I know right!!! Like nobodies to legends , the transition and them slowly topping is like a different feel

What did these companies say about them

@@silviaj4965 basically kpop companies (SM and YG mostly) looked down on them for being successful even though they were from a poor and unknown company when they were rookies. these companies would pay the media to ignore them and hide good articles about them, would make sure they weren’t invited to award shows, had them shut out of broadcasting, and they just treated bts horribly in general. and it still happens today. for example, bts got nominated for a grammy, but the naver articles about them got hidden (yg and naver have a contract). SM paid someone to try and get BTS in controversy recently, there was something involving China and BTS but it got resolved.

@@najaa6831 Lmao your assumptions are really funny

YG sent a reporter to ask them about "plagiarism during wings" in a MOTS PERSONA interview. This can be counted as shaming, because the interview was about Persona, like 3 years after whatever happened.

Yas💪🏻 Proud Once here💝😍

Im not even an once but I ws the whole time like TWICE MY GIRLS WHERE YOU AT I NEED YOU TO ADD SOME WOMEN FLAVOR COME IN

I mean, I'm not a fan but their songs are bop so that's why.

Queens indeed

Twice is a bg wbk

And now 5M ( mots 7 )

5.6 M 💜

And progress

hot 100 #1

BTS 'Dynamite' got #1 on BB HOT100 OMG. Good Job ARMY 👍💜

I like that

Bts dope and fire is the key of the succes if they dont realease that maybe bts still underrated, in kpop u need momentum to get recognetion(?)

@@muhammadlatif6682 Nah. It's is the hard works and talent that bring them here it's not based on 1-2 songs that brought here. Remember BTS comes from an unknown company, they almost thought they could never make it.

@@timahhj1020 i know bts from the first album, we are u when bts realease no more dream? And every musican in wolrd mostly kpop indursty do hardwork even from big Company, underground, no Company they all do hardwork but u need momentum to get Fame, a song that catch people outside fans

@@muhammadlatif6682 the key to BTS's success is not through the album wings and songs I need u?

YESSSS ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Pledis got diamonds and they trained them well.

Yess ..so proud of seventeen❤

We can appreciate Twice as well 😒

My guys😭

And Gfriend. All 3 groups started at almost nothing. Have maybe 200 fans to 1 thousand to 10 thousand to 100 thousand and to have over 1 million fans. (I’m not sure how many fans seventeen and Gfriend have, but still). And now their hard work is paying off. I’m a really really proud buddy/army/carat(carrot, not sure how you write it).

big bang also came from a small company , yg wasn't big at that time , they made yg big

@@Rabecca775 it was not bad , it was a normal company . Not a Small company

@@rashityagi8460 But they made YG one of the big 3 so...

@Tata the best They actually had to live in one apartment along with their manager and can afford only one meal per day ( sorry for late reply )

Why was EXO a mistake?

Ikrr- But I don't think that SM actually promotes EXO just like they are actually promoting and wasting money on SuperM. Ngl and no hate but SuperM turned out to be not good and NCT became more successful and EXO was a hit just like how NCT is now. But I just wish that they just promote EXO more like Love Shot is bop and yet I can't see any promotions of Love Shot or even Tempo

@@denkikaminari3453 When exo dubuted noone took their alien and superpowers theory seriously and they even got the tag of SM's worst mistake so..

@@haikyuuri I completely agree. Even though I am an army, I love exo songs but the way they are pouring all this money into SuperM and exo subunits is so unnecessary. I will buy exo albums in a heartbeat but these other groups? No way. I miss exo 🙄

@@aasthagoyal3975 sem dude sem

Why bcuz boys are physically stronger than girls ??? I don't think gender is matter for music

@Mult Stan standards there to be broken. No one will break them off for free right🤔 again i don't think music is depending on gender. In jyp ggs are more successful than bgrps so 🤷

@@Tharushi_Anthony yes indeed. If you look last year best selling album worldwide. No 1 is arashi, no 2 is taylor swift and 3 is BTS

@@aliffzamri9569 exactly i think kpop ggs should outgrow & break the sell of same bubblegum concepts there are much things to talk about as a women. My favorite gg so far in kpop is snsd. I don't know who is arashi btw.

@@aliffzamri9569 this is basically for conformation~ so i got to know IFPI data is not accurate according to gaon chart data & IFPI data there is 1.2 mn gap bcuz bighit handover only their home country volume , & only bighit knows why, anw according to that then 2019 biggest album in the world is map of the soul persona

Do u know, how many copies of mots 7 were sold ?

Oh..nvm.. I googled.. And it said.. FKNkng 2.65M copies in FIRST 6 HOURS!!! WTF

Not only in album's in everything they maintain social distance 🤣🤣

Love it

This is how sm works 🤷. It's shit I know you just need to see the other groups under SM. Now SM is focused on Nct

yg and sm don't deserve to be in the big three anymore tbh they've lost all their good qualities

@@charleorio142 SM lost for its strategy, it was fixed in remaining in the first place that did not know how to play its cards well. All the SM artists had a prominent period and then as soon as he made another group debut he forgot about the previous ones. in addition to Girls generetion, female groups do not have the desired success (leaving the various scandals alone). for the male groups instead they have been successful up to the suju, the SHINee have had a hit after just debuting, however in the long run SM has engaged in something else. as far as exos are concerned, they have had a clear path because let's face it, SM knows how to advertise itself, but they have been seen as a bad copy of the super juniors. after the 3 Chinese members left, it was a misstep for their career. as for the NCTs, the initial idea was not bad but then they started to dilute it too much by talking only about them. there was a comeback of the super juniors and not all the fans knew it therefore more than the NCTs who flopped I say that the SM strategy

@@charleorio142 I didn't want to talk about the last group because I didn't want to end up in fanwars, SM like the others of big3 are losing power, also thanks to the success that Bts have, making fans realize that no matter the companies are not known or they suck , the important thing is how fans can keep them going. just think of seventeen with a company like pledis that really sucks not only has it managed to continue despite the imminent bankruptcy but they have also managed to be attractive to the market. same thing for mamamoo, or monstax. now the Kpop system has changed and will change even more in the future and companies must either simply accept it and get smart

@@charleorio142 I know 🥰

Dang can't wait for their new upcoming ALBUM

@@Nathan_091 Yaah! & it will be self made Album 😍😍😘

@@ian7be wait when??

@Mult Stan aaaaahhh! this is why i love bighit so muchh! OMG CAN'T WAITTTT!! also have u heard of 'D-7?'

@Mult Stan maybe its the JK mixtape!??

They are solid group. I mean I already see that their talent and especially bond are solid but the thing is they are not from Big3, so back in the day I was kinda sad and anxious because I saw a lot of very talented and potential groups disband, not to mention they were kinda mis treated too in the industry, but now, oh how the table turned. Whenever I come back to their old videos and live stages, and read old comments, I feel very bitter sweet nostalgic. They really paved the way.

Same as Seventeen. The VP of pledis sold his house just to debut seventeen

@@aubreysong yeah, you're 100% right, they really paved the way, and did it alone, without the help of the company like groups from big 3,they worked hard to get to where they are now, and I couldn't be prouder seeing them break records every day, they are LEGENDS💜

Illuminati boy band 🙏

@@xryazall so with all the success they are having, that's the thing you're using against them while we all know they have nothing to do with illuminaty, WOW haters are delusional, so please go focus on yourself, and leave bts and their success alone, cause as far as I know, no one asked for your opinion 😁, so please keep silent and leave quietly, thank you 😄

I did. And look at their last album "time slip". It's still doing good among all of those younger groups 😭

Super Junior The Last Man Standing 💙💙

I did of course 😘

Yes! Proud of crazy boys. Still one of the best boy groups out there.

I hope too

Yeah.. i love to see their growth. I can see that they're getting bigger now. Not too fast but sure. Hope everyone will notice them more cause they have such a great taste of music💎

Facts!!

fr

New kpop fans forget what God is EXO. Now there are only three groups, although EXO is still active. I think it's not fair because SM promotes now more NCT than EXO. EXO is still king, despite the fact that I'm not Exo-l i believe that they still dominate the kpop together with BTS. When I joined the kpop, it was then that EXO AND BTS were at the same level when it comes to fans

@@betxengi5388 true! Exo was so large back then.. even i was not a kpop fan then but I heard it everywhere from my school. Its sad that sm not focuses mostly on NCT if only they can give some of their songs to EXO and promote them well and regularly they could have been as large as BTS today

Also don't forget about TVXQ! (The Gods of album sales way before EXO)

Me 2🥺🙌💎

That too not getting promoted in Western But still they're dominating the chart

Hahaha what an excuse ??? They have always the biggest platform to promote ..

@@arvindkharayat8522 Man why are you guys always so pressed. Tell me where was Exo promoted in the west mf?

@@asphyxia4135 yeah exactly... You know that dftf albums were sold out during the pre ordering period right? Sm really underestimated exo

@@asphyxia4135 most of them are just newbies so usually many of them don't even know their fav's debut song. Just ignore

they're nation girl groups of course they'll slay 💅👑❤️

Yessssss, finally a fan that doesn't hate either of them. I always see people on youtube saying twice will never be the nations gg or snsd is outdated and not important anymore. I personally like both, because snsd was a the first step of making kpop known worldwide, while Twice is currently making great music and also paving the way for their company's/kpop's success.

@@fairycupcakez anyways stan both ✨💅

Girls generation 2nd gen queens that rekted all groups and twice nation girl group that are queen of a ll time

finally i found some fans who doesn't bash both of themmmm. aaaaaaa sonce ♥♥♥♥

And SNSD too. The only girl group on top of all boy group in 2011

Mohamad Husaini i’m talking about the current generation, i love snsd too but please this is referring to twice :)

@@naelsworld alright, that's right, I just stating my opinion

Mohamad Husaini it’s okay :)

I think u should've been more specific if you were talking about girl groups from this generation tbh

I mean who does that right? Queens!

Yes indeed twice are queens👑👑-from an army

i'm army and i confirmed that Twice are queens 👑👑👑👑

Yup the real Queen❤ TWICE

@JRE Ibanez thank u blinkkk❣️

And 2021 suju still on the list in march with house party

*fact*

Preach!!!!!!

SuJu are always on top. Periodt.

15 years and still that relevant. SuJu is boygroup goals

Rinso Detergent they are legend

And they said that new boyband is a legend what a heck

the way you’re wording this makes it sound like new gen doesn’t deserve the praise. both new gen groups and suju do excellent on the charts.

fans really look forward to it lol

nobody cares at this time

nonaa We do care! You might not care but yeah all Exo-ls do care

nonaa more people care about the album than to care about you get lost

@@nona9954 Well damn you obviously do my dear co-fan, cuz if you don't then why did ya even place your unnecessary comment here? like don't get me wrong, I treat y'all as my own family but you are just so dumb like tf

Iol it's true 😂😂😂

Lol so true. They're breaking there own record.

4 albums are top BTS

Bts new album is coming

Bts gonna break bts record again in nov. They do frequently what they r good at- breaking records.

Imagine if SM didn't cancel OBSESSION albums and what if they actually made enough albums 😱 I need to read a book or something to learn how not to be pissed off at SM ent

Na ya fue exo aburren

Here to make a stop cuz I don't get what happened to the kpop scene. Before, fans were in harmony supporting each other. It genuinely makes me sad that one fandom can't support their faves without other fandoms getting pressed. It's funny cuz u see, your faves that you're arguing about are often seen communicating and intercating peacefully in music shows. Tha fans are really the ones creating commotion. I don't know what's making this huge misunderstanding between fans but I have huge faith and respect in old and multifandom supporters. I've notice how "SOME" new and single-group fans are the problematic ones. They be like "my faves are the best" "they're number 1, they just step on other groups". Like honey, no. You're probably a fan because of just how a group is popular/in trend. But don't go shitting on other groups you're not a fan of. I HOPE SOONER. we can all live peacefully like the kpop scene before. I hate fanwars seriously. Our faves livin out there being friends with each other. And here, some of us are being painfully stupid arguing who's the fucking best when BOTTOMLINE. they have their own shine, they are each a star of their own. The universe isn't made for a single star. Sure, there would be some star shining brightly than others but they are all made to be stared and admired at. We all look at the same stars every now and then.

GUYS, ESPECIALLY YOU, PLEASE, SUPPORT THEM ALL EQUALLY, NO NEED TO DRAG OTHER KPOP GROUP OR TO SAY SMTH THAT ISN'T NICE ABOUT THEM. TBH, ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT FRIENDS. ESPECIALLY BTS AND EXO, BUT BECAUSE OF THE FANWARS THAT ARE BEING CREATED BY SOME IMMATURE, TOXIC, AND FAKE FANS OF BOTH GROUPS,,, THEY BECAME AWKWARD TO EACH OTHER. BTS AND EXO BECAME KINDA AWKWARD TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF THAT FREAKING FANWAR. STOP IT! Y'ALL RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO KPOP GROUPS 😞 START TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER, PLEASE. OFC, THERE'S ALWAYS A DIFFERENCE, I MEAN, BTS IS DIFFERENT FROM EXO AND EXO IS ALSO DIFFERENT FROM BTS. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE STYLES, AND UNIQUE WAYS ON CREATING AWESOME MUSICS.

SM really hit the jackpot with EXO. All of them are incredibly talented and charismatic 💕

They were doing well cuz they come from a popular company...it's funny how they couldn't surpass BTS once they got popular and now they're done and over

@@ommayamaimoona554 It's funny you think that because they're from SM, that immediately explains why they get the attention or the sales they have 😂. No sis, SM never promoted EXO they way they should, nor in Korea or in western countries. What they have is a solid fan based built along the years and continue growing stronger, whatever the sales are. You say they're "done and over", but I see nine mega talented men, half of them doing their obligatory military service, and still getting the recognizition they deserve. So, whatever makes you sleep at night. And before someone else says anything, I'm multifandom (and yes, that includes BTS too, and you don't see me trying to bring down the success other groups have like a inmature little girl)

EXO-L, you know EXO members is KING OF SPOILER! I am not 100% sure but it is a big possibility! Looks like we will get an OT6 comeback but OT7 is also not impossible :) Even if only in mv like Tempo :) That is not impossible :) I worry about Chanyeol :( I also worry about Chen :( They both do not deserve to be hated :( Xiumin is back and D.O will be back on 25/1 later! Suho and Chen will be impossible comeback with EXO but I know they will be happy :) Impossible, EXO-L does not miss them ... But I will still wait for them :)I just hope Chanyeol's smile will not disappear :( He is my happy virus :( Let's hope together :)

Yup ... didn't have the company advantage..

They are INDEED dominating and on another level. They are too far from the industry omg wow I’m shocked

Wait where is Persona

Lost jam of Jimin's gosh I hate BH for that

Bts paved the way indeed

【stray kids】 of the third gen only bts has had enough impact to use the term pave the way. Other artists have also helped to pave the way but they are the real OGs from 2nd and 1st gen. Like bigbang, tvxq, etc. but as of the 3rd gen, there isn’t any group who had substantial impact on the K-POP industry except for bts. So technically yes they are paving the way. I mean twice said the same thing along with Sunmi and others

caratonce here

Seventeen and BTS? THE TASTE.

😭😭😭

I missthem😭

Selling 200k albums in their second year was really good considering they were from a small company. Better than a lot of groups from small companies sell at their peak. They really didn’t start at the bottom of the bottom like people seem to think

@@Anquitil ummm obviously they worked hard selling good doesn't mean they didn't start from bottom their struggles and the discrimination they faced because they belong to small company are the reason people admire them without any.support and constant criticism from different fandoms and companies attempts to downplay their success using their power proved them that they did start from bottom

美玲 did u know that they had literally 2 albums before Skool luv affair and one of them in 2014 right before Skool luv affair that didn’t even appear in this charts, I’m army since day one and they gain my full attention bacause their albums were too good to be ignored, they keep giving content nonstop, they had that THING, that sparkle I was looking for in kpop groups at the time and still they worked the hardest among all these groups in 2014 to be able to put at least Skool luv affair in the charts. So yeah, they work hard to achieve where they are now and that’s just facts

-さゆり-사유리 doesnt that go for every single group tho, theres probably small unknown groups right now struggling and desperately working hard and posting content right now. But lots of groups had a rough start and eventually got bigger, the “they came from nothing” narrative is mainly that they came from a small company. I love them just as much as any army, but perspective is everything, respect to other groups from where they started to how far they came now too.

Sen nowadays? yes of course, but not like in 2014, I was pretty aware of ALOT of pretty small groups from small companies at that time who did struggles a lot indeed, but BTS manage to catch people’s attention working 10 times harder than anyone else in the game at that year and kpop fans from that time can recognize that cause it was visible, people even make fun of them for trying way too hard or putting too much effort on that, I’m not even kidding. They definitely deserve the success they are having now, they did what they have to do to survive in this industry, and as I said before they have that WOW factor too, you have to remind that there’s no VLive at that time and idols in social media was not really a thing back then so most of the groups lacked in communication with fans specially internationally and lacked with being relatable and genuine, BTS just stepped up the game posting daily vlogs, reviews, they had a Blog and the freedom to post wherever they want on it including recipes, tutorials and other things we were not used to see from a kpop idol and nowadays it’s more common

im so proud of them 😭😭

🥰🥰🥰

LIKE DUDE , I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY 😭😭

We are one forever ❤️ ❤️ EXO ARE KINGS FOREVER 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Yesss i agree. And even no promotion they're still on chart, well exo always lit af 😍

This is the Korean chart not western.

yeeees

Yes💅

Thank you for this 😭🙏

This is my opinion honestly so don't hate. Yea their fame did explode really quickly but they weren't even idols for a long time. They didn't know what it's like to not be famous or not be recognized because they've always been under the spotlight. Some of the groupsile twice and got7 handled the fame very well and I appreciate that. But bts was there since earlier and I agree it was only a year before got7 but they didn't get famous instantly. They stated getting fame in the second half of 2016 before which they even could have disbanded. They had been to the very depression of idol life and through many hardships most of these new idols cannot even imagine. That's why it's a given why bts is so popular right now and not just for some short instance but they have maintained and steadily increased their popularity. And this has come from experience and also many lessons they learnt throughout their life as a human and also as an below average earning idol group and a group coming from a small company.

@baeby78 it's always the same 😂

Gwangju adeul, J-hope I don’t really care what BTS did We are preaching other groups so if you don’t mind

@@Enstaar30 wtf. I didn't get your point really. I'm a huge army so I'm not hating on bts, but all the comments are talking about them and yes they deserve it. But why can't we recognize other groups that we love too? Why can't you praise them for all their hard work? And groups like MX, SVT, GOT7 are idols since 2014/2015, okay? they aren't rookies. And some of them came from small entertainments too. No one was denying BTS popularity and hard work here, so really, that comment was just 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ And I have to add: how can you say : "many hardships this "new" idols can even imagine". Do you even know what are you takink about? Others groups passed through hard times too, they know what is suffer too. Don't deny their hard work and difficulties. Don't talk like their debut was easy.

be nice only artist from a trash company like Pledis dominating the charts even when Pledis don’t promote them right. Seventeen world domination 💕💕💕

@@hanaan6901 I'm a baby carat, but Seventeen are kings!

Sofía Rodríguez heyy baby carat! I’m always so happy to see new ppl, I’m glad u chose seventeen🥺🥺and yess they really are 👑💘💎

I will break your Nico Nico knee caps 8 comments out of like 2.2K....it’s not about people not talking bout them, there’s just not a lot. Most are about bts, exo, or twice.

Honestly bruh everybody is just focusing on bts 😭☑️

🥰

+1 ;D

Thats lie... do proper research. Exo became a million seller after repackage whereasB*Sdid it with not repack album

@@lalalisamano6770 that's not a lie... she didn't mention that they did it without repackage. We did it first still and not to mention exo has an album that is over an million sales without repackage.

@@lalalisamano6770 EXO "The War" Say Hi. 🙂

You know BTS? I get were you're coming from. us army's just seem to rub off as "show offs" when we're really not 😂✊🏼

joons moon yes literally. I was just looking for A.R.M.Ys comments and what I saw was just "can we appreciate, can we take a moment " 😂😂

We stan a dedicated fanbase and our kings, legends.

@@maxling1672 true hun

I mean debuting at a big company is a really good promotion itself

@@loafof i know right.

@@loafof that's unfair though. Yes they are from SM, but it's undeniable that they sold that many albums because their music is phenomenal. If a group doesn't do well, regardless of the company, then (as we have seen with other groups in SM) they just stop promoting.

@@breyermcjoey that doesnt change the fact they had a huge advantage with SM, debuting under a big company automatically will make u famous and more ppl will buy ur album. and more ppl will see their mvs bc sm has a big following on every platform

@@loafof I get that and I'm not saying it doesn't help, but to say that it's the only basis of a group's success is hugely unfair

I wanna see Million Seller Seventeen❤️😊

Samuel Otoo iKR. Seventeen dominating charts while coming from a trash company like Pledis. It makes me proud to have them as my ults :)

I hope next time we will be able to hit one million🥺

hi i am natali we’ll do it!! I believe in carats. We got seventeen on these lists even tho our fandom is much smaller than many others. We can do anything if we want :)
