Circle Chart (formerly Gaon) started awarding certifications for albums that reached a certain amount of sales back in January 2018. A platinum certification is reached at 250k sales, double platinum at 500k sales, triple platinum at 750k sales, and a million certification at one million sales. In more recent years, albums even began to reach two, three, four, and even five million certifications from Circle Chart, and it has become much less rare for albums to surpass the single million mark! Here’s a look at every K-Pop album that has been certified at one million or more due to their album sales.
