With K-pop's skyrocketing popularity, the albums released by our favorite artists have also made each of their marks on music charts.

Since K-pop is continuously reaching out towards more audiences, records will always be broken, determined through the consistent dynamic of a content's quality, a fanbase's power, and the complimenting chemistry of both parties.

Luminate has released their latest chart, containing data that lists out the best-selling albums in the United States within 2023's first half. Amid the top 10 artists who got included on the rankings, the list is dominated by numerous K-pop groups.
