[NEWS] BIGBANG IS 1 OF 3 LEADING BOY GROUPS IN TERMS OF 2014 SALES

After having declared Girls' Generation, 2NE1, and A Pink as the queens of 2014, Gaon Chart has decided to list the kings by seeing which boy groups have come out on top in terms of 2014 sales.

To assess the data, Gaon Chart has organized three different charts: the first compares boy groups' digital song sales, the second compares album sales, and the third compares overall sales.

Gaon Chart reveals that EXO, BIGBANG, and B2ST are the three leading boy groups in terms of 2014 sales

According to Gaon's data, BIGBANG impressively takes first place in terms of digital song sales. Although BIGBANG had no group activities or releases this past year, Taeyang's solo album 'RISE' sales as well as his collaboration with G-Dragon "Good Boy" were more than enough to secure the BIGBANG members the title as kings of digital sales.
