These 22 K-Pop Artists Have Had The Most Albums Reach #1 On iTunes’ Worldwide Chart

Only one artist has had over ten albums reach #1 on the chart!

Similar to Billboard, iTunes has several different music charts that rank songs, albums, and artists into different categories based on collected data. The World Album chart is one that updates weekly to show the best-performing albums in the world at any time.

Since both international and American albums compete to make it onto this list, it’s not extremely common for K-Pop albums to make it onto the chart, let alone make it to #1. However, there have still been some that have succeeded in reaching this point!
