Girl groups nowadays are doing well not only on digital charts but also in physical sales.
Netizens on the Korean forum Nate Pann recently shared a photo of the “Global Official Alum Charts Ranking of Korean Girl Group Albums & Current Album Sales in Circle Album Chart”.
The chart table shows the album sales of K-pop girl groups, including BLACKPINK (“Born Pink”), aespa (“MY WORLD”), TWICE (“Ready To Be”), IVE (“I’ve IVE”), LE SSERAFIM (“Unforgiven”), (G)I-DLE (“I Feel”), NMIXX (“Expérgo”), etc. Their rankings on various domestic and overseas album charts are also revealed.

Regarding the chart, other netizens commented:
- aespa and IVE fans have album receipts to prove that
- You really think one person only buys one album?
- Well, they’re famous groups anyway, and one person can buy dozens and hundreds of albumsㅋㅋ They’re doing well so I guess they are also selling lots of albums. Even boy groups are selling as many as 3-4 million albums, you know? Amid this heyday of girl groups, girl groups’ fandoms have also grown a lot. Girl group fans are also buying lots of albums, so this is not something very surprising.
- If you look at the album sales chart for boy groups, the situation wouldn’t be much different
- First, Jang Won Young and Karina are very famous in China and their Chinese fans always provide receipts for album purchases. BLACKPINK and TWICE are big 3rd-generation groups that are well-loved by both the public and fans so of course, their album sales would be that high. NewJeans is rising on Billboard and they’re also selling many albums
