Gaon started tracking physical K-Pop album sales back in February 2010 when the company first launched. While this means that they don’t have the data for album sales before this date, they’re still a great resource to use to see which modern-day artists have been making the most sales over the last eleven years! Here’s a look back at the 10 best-selling K-Pop girl groups of each year since the end of 2012 until now.
