The TOP 50 Best-Selling Second Generation K-Pop Female Artist Albums Ever

A few days ago, we listed the 50 best-selling K-Pop albums from second-generation male artists, so of course we have to take a look at the girls too! The list includes groups and soloists that debuted from the early- to mid-2000s until the early 2010s, such as Girls’ Generation, 2NE1, f(x), IU, and many others! Though these numbers may seem small compared to today’s album sales, these talented ladies really paved the way for modern-day artists, and they were extremely successful at the time these albums were released!
