The Gaon Chart, South Korea's official music chart run by the Korea Music Content Industry Association, released their list of bestselling albums in 2010 yesterday. All three of Girls' Generation's 2010 Korean albums claimed spots two through four, making them the only female artists to place in the top five. Coming in second place is their second full-length album "Oh!", having sold 197,934 copies last year. In third is their third mini-album "Hoot", with 163,066 copies purchased.
