According to Gaon charts, Girls’ Generation’s “The Boys” album is the best selling single album of 2011 with 385,348 sold. Fellow label-mates Super Junior with “Mr. Simple” and TVXQ with “Keep Your Head Down” joined Girls’ Generation at the top of the chart in second and third place with 343,348 and 266,727 sales respectively, showing how popular SM artists are.
Solidifying their comeback with this success, despite a late comeback in October of last year, Girls’ Generation continues to prove their dominance in the K-Pop community. Their popularity has undoubtedly grown in 2011 with “The Boys” album selling more than their previous albums “Oh” and “Hoot” combined, which came in second and third in total sales in 2010.

Every time I read about their achievements, I remind myself how much they have come, they started off with nothinggggggg, and now they are dominating everything they set their sights on
Congrats, and congrats to their amazing talented and handsome brothers
Wait, so if they had the best selling album, wouldnt that have ment that they would have won the Grand prize rather than Super Junior, if they would have attended? So why the heck did they not attend then? Can’t imagine any other schedule being more important than winning the biggest award they can get.
no they wouldn’t have. Because Disk Daesang (Golden Disk) combines both versions of the albums, Super Junior would still have won.
The Boys > Mr. Simple
BUT
The Boys + Mr. Taxi < Mr. Simple + Acha
then…why didnt they win any Bonsang at GDA ? =.=
Because they didn’t attend yesterday. The rule of GDA: no attend no award
I guess thats why they cant even get a bonsang at GDA…
oh wait….
Daebak!
