2020 so far has been a record-setting year for K-Pop album sales, with both new artists and older, experienced artists coming out with some of their best-selling albums yet. This is likely due to how increasingly popular the music genre has become, even as the purchase of physical albums overall has declined due to the increased usage of streaming sites and digital sales.
