2015 saw not only great comebacks and debuts from K-Pop's most adored groups, but also some powerful releases from solo acts that blew us away!

From Taeyeon's anticipated solo debut, SHINee Jonghyun's first album, to Jay Park's hard-hitting 'Worldwide,' 2015 was full of music from solo artists that went above and beyond our expectations.

But which artist left the most marked impression in terms of physical album sales? Gaon answered that very question with a top ten list that ranks in descending order which solo acts achieved the highest number in album sales.

The list is as follows, in descending order:

1. Taeyeon's 'I' - 119,576 copies sold
2. Yonghwa's 'One Fine Day' - 118,047 copies sold
3. Jonghyun's 'Base' - 74,110 copies sold
4. Sunggyu's '27' - 73,971 copies sold
5. Junsu's 'Flower' - 67,107 copies sold
6. Junsu's 'Yesterday' - 59,500 copies sold
7. Kyuhyun's 'Fall, Once Again' - 45,073
8. IU's 'Chat-Shire' - 43,184 copies sold
9. Hongki's 'FM302' - 36,955 copies sold
10. Jay Park's 'Worldwide' - 32,397 copies sold

The fact that her voice sounds equally beautiful at very low and very high volume, is not from technical training. It is a gift that she simply possesses and makes her voice very rare and unique.
