Although the United States is the largest music market globally, it is also one of the toughest for Asian artists to break into.
But thanks to the spread of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) over the past decade, K-pop's popularity has increased in the US, and multiple Korean soloists have enjoyed success in the Digital Song Sales chart. The chart ranks the best-selling digital songs in the United States, published by Billboard magazine.

#1 Christmas Tree – V
