Gaon Korean Album Chart

The Korean album chart for November was unusually sparse in terms of indie releases, only listing Kim Sawol‘s first full-length album Suzanne.

The albums that did appear on the album chart during the month, but didn’t sell enough to qualify for the monthly chart of November (i.e. less than 423 copies) were the following:

Less than half of the releases that showed up on Gaon’s weekly album chart during the month of November had actually been released in November. The November releases that made it were Joa Band‘s 2nd full-length album, Sugarbowl‘s 2nd mini album, Jeong Cha Sik‘s 3rd full-length album, TheThe‘s 8th full-length album, Yksi‘s debut album, and Rock N Roll Radio‘s 1st mini album.

 

Gaon Korean Digital Chart

Gaon’s digital chart combines the results of Gaon’s download, streaming and background music charts. Few indie songs make the joint chart, but all new songs to enter any of the related charts are added to Indieful ROK’s Gaon Digital 2015 YouTube playlist.

After dominating Gaon’s digital charts throughout the summer, hyukoh‘s presence has lowered since yet even the Korean digital chart of November features the lead tracks of hyukoh’s 2 EPs. Additionally hyukoh leader Oh Hyuk‘s single for tvN hit drama Reply 1988 (응답하라 1988) made it to #7 its first week on the chart in spite of being released on the evening of November 21st.

Gaon BGM Chart

In October Sistar‘s Soyou and 10cm’s Kwon Jeong Yeol‘s duet was the only Korean indie song on Gaon’s BGM chart. For November it has been replaced by the new Oh Hyuk track. Unlike the other digital charts, the BGM chart does not separate foreign and Korean entries.
