While K-Pop often dominates a majority of Billboard‘s World Digital Song Sales chart each week (which looks at best-selling international songs), there have been far fewer K-Pop songs that have ended up on the U.S.-based Digital Song Sales chart. While the first K-Pop song did land on the list in 2012, the vast majority of them have made the chart in the last 3 or 4 years, and they’re nearly all from a single artist! These are all 58 K-Pop songs that have made the list, in chronological order of when they placed.
