These Were The Top 10 Best-Selling K-Pop Albums In July 2020

July is finally over, and the month was filled with all kinds of amazing comebacks and new album releases! There were so many album sales this summer month, and all 10 of the albums on this list, determined by Hanteo, sold over 40,000 copies in July. Some of them, however, were released in the second half of June, so only the sales within the month of July were counted, and in total, all of these albums actually have well over 90,000 total sales! K-pop just keeps getting more popular, and these 10 artists are greatly benefitting from it.

10. Equal by Woodz

The list kicks off with Woodz, AKA Cho Seungyoun of UNIQ. The album Equal with title track “Love Me Harder” was released on June 29, so it had its best sales within the month of June, for a total of 102k copies sold in total. In July, however, it sold just 41.8k of those sales, putting it in 10th place on this list!

9. Vivid by AB6IX
