Gaon Chart reveals that Girls' Generation, 2NE1, and A 담홍색, 핑크 are leading girl groups in sales 

Gaon Chart reveals that Girls\' Generation, 2NE1, and A Pink are the three leading girl groups in terms of sales

In the K-Pop world, girl groups are trending and they have been trending for a while--but which girl groups can we really say are the reigning queens of 2014? 

Gaon Chart has decided to find the answer by seeing which girl groups have come out on top in terms of sales. To assess the data, Gaon Chart has organized three different charts: the first compares girl groups\' digital song sales, the second compares album sales, and the third compares overall sales.

2NE1 takes first place in terms of accumulating the most digital song sales. In fact, 2NE1 is noticeably on a level of their own, as their sales are significantly higher than that of anyone else. 2NE1\'s success is mainly due to their comeback single "Come Back Home," which stayed at first place on the charts for two consecutive weeks and was also number one on the Gaon monthly chart for March 2014. 

Second place belongs to SISTAR. However, SISTAR earned their enormous amount of sales not necessarily via their group-released songs, but via their more popular collaborations, in particular

 Soyu\'s collaboration with JungGiGo, "Some." Gaon stated that for every 100 sales Soyu made with her collaborations, SISTAR as a team would make 86 sales with their songs. 

A Pink takes third place due to the success of their two songs "Mr. Chu" and "LUV." The rest of the rankings goes as follows:

In terms of album sales, Girls\' Generation takes first place. Although their digital sales were not as strong as that of 2NE1, SISTAR, or A Pink, Girls\' Generation sold a combined number of around 289,000 \'

Mr. Mr.\' and \'Holler\' albums. This is an impressive figure in the K-Pop industry that, as shown in the above chart, leaves other girl groups in the dust. 

A Pink makes an appearance in the top three again, this time in second place, selling around 155,000 copies of their

\'Pink Blossom\' and \'Pink LUV\' albums. f(x) comes in at third place selling 107,000 copies of their album \'Red Light\'. 

The rest of the album sales rankings goes as follows: 

The above chart was calculated using a 50:50 ratio of digital songs to album sales. According to Gaon\'s calculation, Girls\' Generation wins in terms of overall sales while 2NE1 is not too far behind with second place. Third place belongs to A Pink, showing the girl group\'s power to stay in the top three in all three charts.

digital sells can always be manipulated but physical sales you have to buy an actual unit so it counts , so consider how 2ne1 digital sales don\'t match with their physical sales , it\'s clearly fraud and sajaegi . 

delutional blackjacks don\'t bother replying cuz I am not gonna bother with your nonsense , it\'s obvious as sun YG been at it this whole year , Sajaegi Cheaters Company 

Yeah, this is why GD and YB are not winning n•1 right now... You sound stupid, but this is probably because you are.

@laetitia that shit of song even charted that\'s the best evidence that YG is sajaegi and even GD farts would chart because their fans are delusional , No go away you annoying MF

lots of Blackjacks aren\'t korean/asian and it\'s very expensive to buy physical albums in europe or america. so most of us buy the digital albums. It\'s just logic that 2NE1 has mor digital sales than physical sales.

Im not blackjack nor YG stan but YG really did well this year... I dont think any of the BIG 3 will do sajaegi.. 2ne1 , AkMu , TaeYang really have great songs so they top digital charts .. And look at GD x Taeyang,, since they released song that is not public friendly it top but got down easily... And one more thing Physical sale can be manipulate too. Do you know that too much bulk buying is considered sajaegi in Korea...

@omgolivia B*tch plz , do you think GG don\'t have europe american fans too -_- , it\'s easy for company like YG who hide criminals to manipulate the charts , to them it\'s must be like child game , you don\'t know how this industry work , no group have been actually catch doing sajaegi but that doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t exist , I am not saying 2ne1 are not successful but the push up YG give them is pretty obvious

@sakurakou so you are saying that fans buying their song is sageagi. Are you that stupid ? Whether you like the song or not is not the issue here so keep your opinion to yourself if you pretend to be objective. And dont you have anything else to do on Christmas Eve ?

@MinAingher u are not BJ but you still have the nerve to bother and annoy me with your useless shit , have you not read my first comment , DON\'t REPLY don\'t u understand english -_-

@sakurakou Yeah, you should cry. I have a family to spend time with, and cannot waste to much time with haters nonsenses. So merry Christmas anyway.

lol 2NE1 albums are actually not that attractive so even if im a blackjack i wont buy them, i\'d rather download lol while albums that comes from SM are really eye catching so yeah. more worth it i guess even if the music is not the best

Congrats to them, personally I\'m just proud that Secret is 8th overall heehee ^^ ^^ ^^

Mamamoo 11th overall?!?! WOW!!! Now that\'s good news!

Congrats to my queens GG #SONE . And ofcourse 2ne1 too. These two groups on top :)) awesome and apink popularity is no joke too. Fighting

Can I just say that I am one proud Pink Panda, Blackjack & Sone?

2ne1 slaying! If 2014 was a good year for them they will kill it on 2015! Yeah!!!
