Thank you 

 

Lol Beyoncé has really the most top ten hits in SK? 

On the International chart for GAON, yeah.

GAON was launched in 2010 a year after the most popular chart before it ended up shutting down.

I would look through that chart, but I don't think there's archives of it online anywhere, esp. not for Western act chart placements.

 

Ariana has the most for a Western act on the Domestic chart and I think Idina has most weeks in the Top 10 on the Domestic. 

I think Maroon 5 is the most successful Western act in SK chart-wise, but @Eternium mentioned the price change that happened around 2013, so I'm not sure if they did such through inflated sales. I would also assume BIG BANG covering "This Love" contributed much to Maroon 5's music becoming popular in SK.

Maroon 5 have always been popular in SK. That cover, MLJ and their constant placement on FreeZone made them a smash there. They even had a #1 YE in 2015 with Sugar when free downloads never counted.

 

And the most successful Western artists in South Korea are Mariah Carey and Britney. Britney’s sold over 1M albums there and Music Box, Mariah’s Best-seller, did 900k sales there.

Here's all the songs by women, based on year-end reports, that have sold over 2M copies:

3,762,000 - Rolling In The Deep, Adele
2,524,371 - Someone Like You, Adele
2,512,000 - Tik Tok, Kesha
2,388,000 - Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen
2,183,170 - Because Of You, Kelly Clarkson
2,134,102 - Slow Motion, Karina
2,059,000 - Let It Go, Idina Menzel

 

And some (not all) songs that are close:
1.94M - Problem, Ariana Grande
1.83M - Halo, Beyonce
1.75M - Hello, Adele
1.60M - Take A Bow, Rihanna
1.43M - Bang Bang, Ariana Grande / Nicki Mnaj / Jessie J
1.40M - Love The Way You Lie (Part 2), Rihanna

Because of you selling 2m+ this decade :deadbanana4:

havana should probably be #1 tho considering it spent 20+ weeks at #1

Don't be misled, all of them are flops in Korea.

#1 on the International chart isn't even enough sales enough to chart in the top 50 overall most of the time.

 

not Ariana tho :fan: she always smashes there when she bothers promoting.
