With idols having taken over the music market today, it seems as if boy groups reign over the girl groups. Although girl groups have been appearing more on broadcasts, the results have been attracting interest over whether it would be reflected in the rankings.
With a week left in the first half of the year, major album sales research site Hanteo Charts revealed that there were nine idol groups that were included in the top 10 chart.
Although there are five male idol groups, there are only two female idol groups, showing that male idol groups have better album sales than the females.
The only two girl groups in the top 10 are SNSD and Kara.
TN: Information will be translated in list style (as opposed to paragraph style in Korean) with relevant information included per rank.
