Recently, Gaon Chart published aggregated data on album sales of Kpop artists over the past 10 years (from January 2011 to November 2021). This is considered one of Korea's prestigious country music charts, equivalent to Billboard in the US and Oricon in Japan.

Accordingly, BTS ranks first among the highest-grossing boy groups with 32.7 million albums sold in a decade. This number is more than double the group NCT at No.2, proving the popularity and influence of the 7 boys HYBE.
