[Park Joy]

Break Out is still #5! Baby we keep the faith eternally!

 

 

[AquaBlue]

TVXQ is a wall. Mad respect! 

 

BTS will most likely be the second best selling artist by the end of next year (~1M sales with 2 Korean albums + Japanese single) or Twice. 

 

TWICE just debuted last year  Congratulations ~~~~ 

[Feraligatr]

SNSD and Kara  

[田馥甄]

bts' growth is insane. I keep thinking their sales will plateau somewhere but they keep increasing 100K every release. 

[*Justin Seagull*]

bts' growth is insane. I keep thinking their sales will plateau somewhere but they keep increasing 100K every release. 

 

Their next album might reach 500K in the first week and their next single abum might reach 650K  first week.

Their upward fan growth trajectory is unheard of

[IChaeng]

if im not wrong one more time have 263k

[Idol Killer]

TVXQ is dominating.

[U R Messy AF]

TVXQ, KARA and SNSD really were the holy trinity of K-Pop groups in Japan. At their peak, they were pretty much unrivalled, and even now TVXQ still does exceptionally well there (KARA and SNSD would too, if KARA hadn't disbanded and SNSD released another Japanese album). Now Twice and BTS have taken up that mantle.

[Buttered Sone]

I miss Nippon Queens

 

[DramaticTaeyeon"]

SNSD are those queens. Not only do they have the stats but the quality.

Also TVXQ and Kara

[Acer]

BTS coming to top..

[AquaBlue]

 

Their next album might reach 500K in the first week and their next single abum might reach 650K  first week.

Their upward fan growth trajectory is unheard of

 

I was shook when LY: Answer sold 221K+ sales in Oricon because...

Young Forever = 26K+ sales

WINGS= 82K sales

LY: HER = ~120K sales

LY: TEAR = ~196K sales

 

Their Korean albums are selling more than 97% of other Korean group's Japanese singles/albums. 

It's amazing how their sales are increasing in a steady rate 

I predict that their upcoming Korean album will sell ~250K. 

[Luluu]

TWXQ THOUGH! WOWWWW! 

 

Legends   

[Jejungie]

TVXQ is insane. Too bad they split up.

At least 6M of 9,685,916 is from their OT5 days. I remember they made +$85M in 2010 only with physical sales.

Still they make a lot of money from DVDs. (DVDs in Japan is +$85)

[Jejungie]

By the way I should mention something. BoA is ranked 2nd with 8,2M sales but this list is for groups

[HRH Ayyu]

5.TVXQ Break Out 299,412

6.TVXQ Why? 285,051

8.TVXQ Stand By U 233,057

10.TVXQ Toki Wo Tomete 229,332

 

 

Such master pieces.

[Angel~♡]

Didn't OMT sell like 260k+ though? Why is it not on the top 10 best selling singles? 

 

Edit: I just realized the source is Allkpop, everything makes sense now. 

[IChaeng]

Didn't OMT sell like 260k+ though? Why is it not on the top 10 best selling singles? 

Yes OMT sold  263,496 k

[Barnaby]

BDZ has sold over 274K. That would place them #10 on the album list

 

.

[*Justin Seagull*]

Yes OMT sold  263,496 k

 

I guess I'll correct the source lol

[Iceprince]

By the way I should mention something. BoA is ranked 2nd with 8,2M sales but this list is for groups

BoA was a monster in japan. 3 albums over 1 million sales

[IChaeng]

 

I guess I'll correct the source

[Namie-Knowles]

Twice might end up being second depending. They will be just behind BTS until they start military service and then probably surpass.

[Louise4th]

TVXQ!, KARA & SNSD are the Holy Trinity of Kpop. During their heyday, they were able to run with the top of Japanese acts. Hell, TVXQ! is literally 2nd only to Arashi (a freaking wall!!!)

 

Too bad DB5K/KARA5/SN9D split and half of their growth/potential were cut in half.

 

Break Out is still #5! Baby we keep the faith eternally!

 

 

The lyrics are poetic and meaningful!

$130 Million USD (from CD sales alone) to be exact, which is something unheard of in Kpop to this date
