K-pop stans, time to assemble! That’s because our fave groups like Stray Kids, SEVENTEEN, and IVE can’t stop setting the Japan charts on fire. This time, we’re spilling the tea on the top 10 biggest albums by K-pop artists today, including mostly Korean-language albums as well as some Japanese-language projects. Let’s dive in:
The tally only takes into consideration K-pop acts, so it is not representative of all the Japanese albums on the Oricon Album Charts. For that reason, their real positions are written in square brackets. For example, while Stray Kids’ “ATE” is the No. 1 album among K-pop acts, it is actually the third one when all other releases in Japan are considered.
