Earlier today, we listed the 50 best-selling K-Pop singles in the first week on Oricon charts, which is a Japan-based music chart similar to Billboard and Gaon. Albums are charted through Oricon as well based on their sales in Japan, and with K-Pop starting to grow popular in the country as far back as the early 2000s, there’s a wide variety in the best-sellers! These are the 50 best-selling K-Pop albums in the first week based on Oricon’s charts.
