When it comes to the queens of K-pop albums, you really need to ask TWICE, NewJeans, and IVE how they do it! On October 19, the South Korean Circle Charts spilled the tea on their best-selling albums by girl groups, and the numbers speak for themselves! TWICE remains the reigning champ with a jaw-dropping 12.8 million album sales, being by far the queens in the tally.
Close on their heels, IVE keeps the pressure high with nearly 8.9 million copies sold. NewJeans and aespa hold their ground with impressive sales of over 8 million and 7.5 million, respectively. Rounding up the top 5, BLACKPINK flexes 6,5 million copies. With a mix of third, fourth, and fifth-generation girl groups, this last surely has something for the taste of every fan.
