In an impressive milestone for K-pop, TXT, ATEEZ, and TWICE have made their mark on the U.S. midyear list of best-selling albums for 2024. Compiled by American music data tracking firm Luminate, formerly Nielsen Music, this list highlights the top albums sold between December 29, 2023, and June 27, 2024.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER, aka TXT's minisode 3: TOMORROW, stands out as the highest-selling album by a male artist or group, securing the No. 6 spot overall. This achievement underscores the group's growing popularity and strong international presence.

Meanwhile, ATEEZ's GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1 quickly rose to prominence, landing at No. 7 despite being released just before the end of the tracking period. ATEEZ's rapid ascent is a testament to their dynamic performances and dedicated fanbase.

TWICE, the only girl group to make the list, claimed the No. 9 spot with their mini-album With YOU-th, which previously debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. This recognition further cements TWICE's position as one of the leading global girl groups, celebrated for their catchy music and vibrant stage presence.

Notably, Taylor Swift dominated the list, occupying five of the top 10 spots, with other major artists like Billie Eilish and Beyoncé also making appearances. However, the inclusion of TXT, ATEEZ, and TWICE highlights the significant impact and growing influence of K-pop in the U.S. music market.
