The year 2020 has gradually ended and most of the Kpop groups have released their last album of the year. In addition, the Gaon album chart has just updated the November data. This is considered the right time to look back at which artists have the highest total album sales in 2020.
This year Kpop girl groups have proven that they are as capable of selling albums as strong as boy groups with outstanding achievements. In particular, BLACKPINK, TWICE, and IZ * ONE is the only 3 groups with total album sales exceeding 1 million copies. The remaining female groups, although not outperforming, have also confirmed their influence by entering the top 10 of this chart.
Let’s take a look at the Top 10 Kpop girl groups with the highest total album sales in 2020.
Note:
– Data is as of the end of November 2020.
– Data of this chart only includes albums released in 2020 (both Japanese and Korean albums) and before December 2020.
– Data is calculated from the group’s total album sales on Gaon (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 calculates actual sales figures).
