Halfway into 2011 and almost one year later since the new Hallyu Wave, and many Korean artists were featured on Oricon's mid year rankings based on their sales.
Releasing 2 digital singles and their Why (Keep Your Head Down) single earlier this year, TVXQ made their mark at no.4, proving their popularity in sales despite their return with only 2 members.
Following down the list was Girls' Generation who with a Top 3 single and a no.1 album, continue to impress with their growing success and popularity,
At 14 was KARA, who with their 3rd single "Jet Coaster Love" became the 1st Korean female group to ever rank no.1 on the Weekly Charts.
Finally at no.15 achieving similar success was Jang Geun Suk, who by selling over 100,000 copies of his debut single not only gives him the title of highest debut sales by a Korean artist, but he also became the first male artist to rank no.1 on the Weekly Charts.
