South Korea [ edit ]

This is a list of the fastest-selling albums in South Korea as recorded by the Hanteo Information System[a] established in 1993.[42] Map of the Soul: 7 by BTS is the fastest-selling album of all time in South Korea with 3,378,633 copies shipped to stores in its first seven days of release.[43] ^ The Hanteo chart provides real-time daily, weekly, and monthly sales updates, but only accounts for data received from affiliated stores and therefore does not reflect the total sales of a given release. The Gaon Album Chart , established in 2010, counts albums shipped to all stores regardless of affiliation, so there is always a noticeable difference between its figures and Hanteo's. Gaon, however, only began providing realtime data from 2019. Given this article's scope, and the limitations of existing sources, Hanteo's numbers alone are used.
