SM Artists have made a new record in a country far from their own.
Years ago, 2003 to be exact, Asian albums, including those of K-Pop artists like S.E.S., Swi-T and BoA, were first released in the Philippines, but these acts were not very successful in terms of sales.
Now, due to the K-Pop boom and Universal Records marketing savvy, the result is a string of #1 albums in a period of 12 months!
Universal Records, the official home of SM Entertainment in the Philippines, is proud to reveal that most of the SM albums they released, 13 of those have reached the #1 position in different major record retail chains like Music One, Odyssey and Astroplus/Astrovision!
Mind you, this is a tough thing to achieve because of international competition from acts like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Glee etc. Other record labels have attempted but unfortunately the results were rather disappointing.
Here's a list of Universal Records #1 K-Pop Artists & Albums plus the date when they achieved their #1 position:
Super Junior
