These Were The Top 17 Best-Selling K-Pop Albums In January
The Gaon Album Chart is a weekly, monthly, and yearly national chart in South Korea that calculates the best-selling albums in the country based on data provided by the Korea Music Content Industry Association. Now that January is over, they’ve just posted their list of the best-selling albums from the month!
Many of the albums that made it onto the chart are, understandably, ones that were released in January, since albums tend to sell the most copies close to their release date, but several on the list were released a month or two ago! Here are the top 17 best-selling Korean music albums in January.
