Copies are the figures on Circle Chart's yearly album chart for 2025, which Soompi describes as album distribution volume accumulated through the year, retrieved November 3, 2026.¹² Circle counts each version of an album as its own entry and DabPop doesn't merge them: PLAVE's Caligo Pt.1 is No. 25 here, and its POCA version is a separate, lower entry (372,845 copies per Soompi).² Album titles are as Soompi and Circle list them, shortened in places; artist names in English follow Soompi's report. "Distributor" is the company Circle lists, which can differ from the artist's agency. Because the chart is accumulated over the calendar year, albums released early in 2025 had longer to sell. Hanteo counts sales under its own rules, so its figures aren't mixed in. For the first half of the following year, see Best-Selling Albums in Korea: First Half of 2026.
