Here are the numbers for the K-Pop idol groups best selling albums.

While numbers are not that important when it comes to which idol group sold better, it is always nice to see how well a certain group is doing.

When looking at the top selling albums around the world, it seems that the idol groups that have been around longer will most likely be on the list rather than rookie groups.

This list was based on an online community board that was created by an online user.
