Everyone knows that K-POP has been booming more than 10 years ago, and there are still many classic groups that are common memories for everyone. Recently, some netizens compiled the top 30 album sales rankings of girl groups from 2010 to 2019. Let’s take a look. Let’s take a look at who is the most profitable girl group in the past 10 years of K-POP’s development! (Original article by 51 Korean Group)
TOP 9
IU
IU, always jokingly called the "one-person girl group", has indeed lived up to the high expectations on the list! Although IU seems to be focusing more on her career as an actor recently, don't forget that IU is also a regular member of the Sound Bandits!
TOP 8
GFRIEND
Although they debuted in 2015, GFRIEND's achievements are no less than those of other senior groups. Their image as a group dance and pure girl group has also allowed them to maintain a place in the Korean entertainment industry. This year, they are about to release their first Japanese regular album "Fallin'" Light", congratulations to GFRIEND!
TOP 7
IZONE
The album sales of IZONE, a monster newcomer who just debuted last year, cannot be underestimated. Because they debuted in Japan and South Korea at the same time, their popularity in both places is not low. They have sold nearly 1 million copies of their two albums so far. This result is really amazing!
TOP 5, 6
T-ara, Apink
T-ara and Apink, already considered senior girl groups, had the best album sales at the time. I didn’t expect that they would rank 5th or 6th this year. They are truly legendary girl groups. That’s right!
TOP 4
Red Velvet
Red Velvet, the most active girl group in SM at present, is an existence that will never be forgotten when talking about popular girl groups. In addition to being from the three major agencies, they have enjoyed a lot of attention since their debut. Every work has Red. Velvet’s unique taste is also the reason why their popularity is getting higher and higher!
TOP 3
KARA
KARA, which is now almost disbanded, is still ranked 3rd. It shows that KARA is really well-known in Japan! In addition to activities in Korea, KARA, which was also actively developing in Japan at that time, has indeed laid a strong foundation to attract money (?). KARA can really be regarded as the tears of the times!
TOP 2
Girls’ Generation
Although Girls’ Generation has gone through many member changes, Girls’ Generation’s status in the hearts of all Korean music fans has never wavered. Girls’ Generation has created many classic songs since their debut in 2007, and many subsequent girl groups have imitated them. Girls' Generation, which has a strong fan base at home and abroad, is indeed reflected in its album sales. The second place is truly deserved!
TOP 1
TWICE
Currently, TWICE, who is currently recuperating on Mina as an eight-member group, has been active for more than 3 years since their debut in 2015 and is approaching its 4th anniversary. In this short period of less than 4 years, TWICE has made frequent comebacks, although fans It's heartbreaking to watch, but it also allowed them to conquer the world of girl groups. I can only say that the hard work of the girls has not been in vain!
