It's not far fetched to say Blackpink are selling less because of delayed shipments.

YG and Hybe are partnered, particularly in logistics. Hybe has used intentionally delayed shipments in the past to make it look like their group has better longevity, or to make all preordered albums count towards Billboard on the same week. YG is most likely doing the same, no matter how much you anti them, this is the most logical conclusion when you look at the sales of The Album and the streams of Born Pink.

Not when the album is sitting on shelves across the country gathering dust.
