Gaon Korean Album Chart

June saw the release of several anticipated albums. Kiha & The Faces‘ 4th full-length album was released together with a “game book” on June 17. The same day also Daybreak‘s 4th full-length album came out. A day later it was time for the annual Seoul Record Fair where it appears the vinyl re-issue of 9 and the Numbers‘ 3rd full-length album was doing rather well. Also on Gaon’s Korean album chart for June, in the top 100 for the fourth month counting, is Guckkasten‘s second album owning to the popularity of Guckkasten vocalist Ha Hyun Woo on King of Mask Singer (복면가왕).

The albums that did appear on the album chart during the month, but didn’t sell enough to qualify for the monthly chart of June (i.e. less than 488 copies) were the following:

June 17 was also the release date for Seenroot‘s first full-length album as well as the Korean version of Jambinai‘s second full-length album that both did relatively well.

 

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 2016 YouTube playlist.

After Ha Hyun Woo’s identity was finally revealed on King of Mask Singer episode 62, those of his covers from earlier weeks on the show that had not yet been released were added as bonus tracks to the digital album 복면가왕 62회. Additional newcomers to Gaon’s Korean digital chart of June were new singles from Standing Egg and 10cm, The Black Skirts‘ contribution to the soundtrack for tvN drama Another Miss Oh (또 오해영), and the lead track off Kiha & The Faces’ new album.

Gaon Korean Streaming Chart

It appears that with June the time on the charts is over for Busker Busker‘s “벚꽃 엔딩” this year, but at least Busker Busker’s Jang Beom June still has a place on the streaming chart. That aside it is largely the same as the overall digital chart.

Gaon BGM Chart

Only one indie track survived on Gaon’s background music chart from May to June. Plenty of new entries, however, including Nell‘s song for SBS weekend drama Beautiful Gong Shim (미녀 공심이).

Unlike the other digital charts, the BGM chart does not separate foreign and Korean entries.
