Who bought aespa 1M albums ?

We know 600K is Chinese sales but the other 1M?

It's hard to believe it's mostly Korea because girls didn't make the type of splash top acts do over there 👀

US sales?

At this point they should pull 100K-150K pure sales first week in the us 🤔

It's unlikely because current #1 is expected to pull just over 100K next week & aespa isn't challenging for the spot 🤔

EU/AUS sales are probably not up to 100K combined 🤔

Is it possible most of the 1M is like 80% from Korea/Japan/SEA ?

I'm genuinely curious how aespa pulled 1M(same as THE ALBUM pulled over 1 year & 6 months period) in just pre-orders alone globally (sans China)

$10 Digipaks seem to be massive game changers in K-pop 👀

Flop someone already made this thread you’re too late lol

& So what?

Quote from tetetete

u already said its because of digipacks so why make a thread out of it lol

To see if y'all have a different opinion ofc

Quote from killingtime1934

Korean and Chinese fans which is the usual for sm groups, look at dream they are the same

Yes the Chinese fandom bought 600K of the 1.6M pre-orders

The other 1m is Korean fans??

instead of making wild guess you could put your energy by following aespa charts acc on twitter to find out. I'm very lazy to bring all the receipts in here.

Almost 30 dollars speak nicely of them

Girls album also goes out multiple times in target and etc etc.

Like I said next week #1 album is expected to move just slightly over 100K & aespa is not challenging

Which so far indicates they will sell below 100K in pure sales 👀

Just guessing here, but remember 600k is only the number bars say they bought, it might very well be way more (people who are not part of these and buy tons by themselves too, wouldn't be surprising when they got a member from the country). But yeah digipacks seem to be the game changer, all groups using them doubled or tripled their sales

Cbars actually announced 560K (600K is the expected total tho)

1M is alot 💀

Quote from www1717

Let's find out next week then

I was wondering why people questioning about aespa reaching 1 million sales but not someone like LYW whose target market is 100% Korea but is also a million seller?

Thank u for reminding me of that guy

He's definitely proof u can sell 1m albums in kor alone

So it's entirely possible aespa sold 400K-500K in kor alone ig 👀

Who knows, to solve your question the only relevant chart in asia would be japan (cause korea is basically all combined so no way to know the source. SEA don't track shit as far as I know, then there is also european countries + usa/canada. Latam import so they also impossible to track.

Also just saying but this same topic got lots of people worked up yesterday, proceed with care, soldier ✋

Realistically speaking I think now 500k of those 1M is kor only sales

Other 500K is spread between Japan & sea & north America & EU/aus & LATAM

I think that makes most sense 🤔

Quote from babybat

did they sell that 1.6 or whatever yet or is that still the preorder number? how much have they sold so far?

It's rare for a group not to surpass their pre-orders within 1st month update of their sales so I'm sure they will end up selling 1.6M+ by next month

Quote from inspike

It's actually interesting because despite 3x their sales in a year, their streams are actually worse than savage era. So they grew in China but declined outside of China and Korea.

Actually 4x (savage had 400k pre-orders then girls had 1.6M)

It's crazy honestly,the streams barely increased despite the EP having 3 more previously released songs

Quote from azhra-0110

I think it's more likely the actual chinese sales are closer to 1M but lots just don't have affiliation to bars

🤔

That makes sense........

This is quite controversial but definitely worthy of best answer

Quote from babybat

wild. i'm curious too tbh because it seems crazy that it's all because of digipacks, it seems unlikely to be the only driving force??? and it's not like sm is out here doing sajaegi. so maybe it is just massive sk sales

Someone just suggested there's more individuals sales from China but they are not affiliated with the individual bars

Quote from killingtime1934

A lot of mys are ex-sones, ex-fx Stan's and NCT Stan's that make for a big Korean fandom that can buy + a sprinkle of USA/sea fans and a chunk of Japan fans

SM definitely got alot of company stans

Quote from azhra-0110

Selecting me for best answer when I'm just guessing if you are actually that curious wait for album charts all over the globe lol. Best answer is already part of your op btw, didn't treasure go from like struggling around 300k to 700-800k with that

Well
