how come Stray Kids' ODDINARY got a #1 BB200 but The Album couldn't?

    Quote from Enthusiastic Anons Poster (371)

    TXT had us distribution for their cheap versions that they revealed before the release of the album (meaning their first week sales were already a mix of 9 versions), Stray Kids not only revealed their jewel case after the release of oddinary but it also didn't get distributed in the us, all of SKZ's sales on Billboard are from the three normal priced versions.


    the difference in their debut spotify streams (two bsides on oddinary literally got more than gbgb) shows the difference in their US fandom size nicely

    TXT has charted many songs on us spptify. Ordinary was the first time skz could.

    I'm not talking about the relative chart positions. And you're ignoring the rest of what I said lol. TXT sold ~60k on their debut week with 9 Billboard verified versions, SKZ did almost the double of that with just three normal priced versions, now one of the versions is out of stock, and all the rest are understocked, US stays have been complaining for a while now to Republic Records. SKZ have a bigger fandom in the US and it's not wrong to admit it.

    So if they have a big fandom, they should at least overtake TXT and stay stable on billboard because Republic Records isn't giving TXT big distribution and promotion either. I hope that with this return SKZ can show that they are better than TXT, but if they don't make it STAY should stop dragging TXT when they have an inferiority complex

    I'm not dragging TXT lmao and don't act like a stay started this.


    I find it very funny how moas convinced themselves that SKZ's sales aren't stable, on their second week they only sold 2k less in the US, and may I remind you again, they only had 3 normal priced versions in the US while selling almost twice the amount on their first week. And TXT went almost for a year without a proper comeback, which means anticipation and purchasing power of the fandom should have been at its highest. US moas are sure dedicated and keep buying, but they're not a bigger fandom than stays.

    4th gen boy groups are able to achieve that just because their fans are mass buying the album. If they actually were that popular, they'd be able to chart on bb hot 100 too.

    skz are not the best example you can find for that, they charted on bubbling under without radioplay, they might enter hot100 this cb at this rate

    a lot of accusations, but even with the second biggest fandom bp couldn't reach #1.

    seems just a bit weird to me

    People lying about txt not having promotions in the US. They even got one of their songs pushed on radio. Some of you lie too much about promotions your faves get

    just checking if everyone understands how competition works & the nuances of certain situations! :-)

    Then make a public thread instead of hiding behind the anonymous user

    But they still haven't so it does apply to them. Their bb200 charting doesn't match with hot100 charting. Also, Bp already entered bubbling under when they still were rookies.

    Quote from Is it safe to say... (243)

    In this case, It was more about luck. Both albums debuted with 110k units. If The Album was released on Oddinary's It would be #1 and If Oddinary was released on The Album's week It would be #2.

    So interesting and ironic.

    We're talking about album sales, right? If TXT has radio play it's thanks to their collaboration with another artist and not thanks to republic Records because I don't see them promoting the songs on the album

    and where the hell do you think they get those collabs??

    In what universe has TXT outperformed SKZ? LOL. SKZ album is likely to well over 100k again next month. When will TXT?

    TXT outdoes in longevity. Minisode2 now has more pure sales than SKZ's album despite a lower initial debut and being released later.

    minisode2 weeks on the bb200 - 14 weeks

    Oddinary weeks on the bb200 - 8 weeks

    because txt has NINE billboard verified album versions lmao. five of those are cheaper.


    skz's (which are random, not individual, btw) jewel cases have never been sold in the US, all they've ever sold there are three normal versions, out of which one was limited, and the other two have been out of stock in many stores too (especially Walmart)
