This is a list of the best-selling albums of recorded music in South Korea. To appear on the list, the figure must have been published by a reliable source and the album must have sold at least 1 million copies. As of March 2021, Map of the Soul: 7 by South Korean boy band BTS is the best-selling album of all time in the country. [3] [ needs update ] Kim Gun-mo's 1995 studio album Wrongful Meeting previously held the record as the best-selling South Korean album for 24 years, with an estimated 3.3 million copies sold—this includes figures based on illegal sales [4] —until it was surpassed by BTS' Map of the Soul: Persona in 2019. [5] [6]
The Korea Video & Record Distributors Association (KVRDA) published the first South Korean sales charts, tallying album sales figures for the month of August and the March–August semester, on September 10, 1998. [7] Between 1999 and 2007, the Music Industry Association of Korea (MIAK) published monthly charts, with fifty chart positions and detailed sales for each album. [8] Following the sharp decline of domestic music sales in the 21st century, [9] the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) introduced the Gaon Album Chart in February 2010, which included a detailed breakdown of online chart data. [10] The KMCA began awarding sales certifications for albums in April 2018—only albums released after January 1, 2018 are eligible. [10] Certifications are not included in this list, because the Gaon Music Chart publishes detailed album sales.
All albums that have sold over one million copies in South Korea are by Korean artists, with the exception of Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard (1992) and Mariah Carey's Music Box (1993). BTS is the act with the most million-selling albums, having twelve, followed by Seventeen, with eleven. In 2017, BTS' Love Yourself: Her became the first album released since 2001 to sell over 1 million copies, [11] [12] while in 2018 the band's Love Yourself: Answer became the first to sell over 2 million copies since 2000. [13] In 2019, the band's Map of the Soul: Persona became the first album to sell over 3 million copies since 1997. This was followed by Map of the Soul: 7, which became the first album in chart history to surpass 4 and 5 million sales, in 2020 and 2022 respectively. [14] [15] Seventeen's FML became the first album to sell over 6 million copies, in 2023. [16] In 2013, the combined sales of Exo's XOXO and its repackage exceeded 1 million copies, [17] while in 2019 BTS became the first act to sell 1 million copies of both an album and its repackage, when Wings and You Never Walk Alone each surpassed 1 million sales that year.
As of 2023, according to Circle Chart, [A] BTS is the best-selling artist in South Korean history, having sold more than 40 million albums. [19]
