10 K-Pop Girl Groups With The Highest Total Album Sales In 2020: BLACKPINK, IZ*ONE, TWICE And More
We are less than a month from the new year 2021, and most of the K-Pop groups have released their last album of 2020. The Gaon album chart has just updated its data for November, so this is the right time to look back on this not-so-happy year to see which artists managed to overcome the pandemic and have the highest total album sales.
This year, K-Pop girl groups have proven that they also have the power to sell as much as boy groups. In particular, BLACKPINK, TWICE and IZ*ONE are the 3 groups with total album sales exceeding 1 million copies. Meanwhile, other girl groups, although not reaching that milestone, managed to prove their influence with respectable sales.
Let's take a look at the Top 10 K-Pop girl groups with the highest total album sales in 2020.
Note:
- Data is as of the end of November 2020.
- This chart only takes into account albums released in 2020 (both Japanese and Korean albums) and before December 2020.
- The groups' total album sales are calculated from data from Gaon (South Korea) and Oricon (Japan).
- Gaon is a physical album chart based on the total number of albums shipped from record labels / distributors (unlike Hanteo, which only counts actual sales).
