These are the 100 best-selling artists in Korean history.

When we talk about the best-selling artists in Korean history, we include Korean and Japanese sales. Please note that many of these artists are approximate sales.

Sources for Korean sales are from Korean Music Statistical Yearbook for pre-1998 sales, RIAK for sales between 1998 and 2008, Hanteo for some 2008 sales and 2009 sales, and Circle Chart for sales from 2010 until August 2022.
