its funny bc even when twice has more physicals sales than the album they couldnt even be 2 bc twice just dont have the streams for that

which show that if u just really in physicals, like some bgs do, u will be stuck in the same place

wdym didn't manage

twice literally outsold them with pure sales meanwhile bp had spotify deal and had to sell their $4 mcchicken albums in order to land #1 bc they were predicted to be #2?

it is hilarious since twice are considered flops and local gg only to outdo them in the end

No #1 billboard 200 no opinion!

No #1 spotify global chart no opinion!

No #1 spotify weekly chart no opinion!

No 2 million sales on one album no opinion!

No #1 on melon no opinion!

So when are you going to realize that charting #1 doesn't mean anything if you actually sold less than an artist that charted lower the previous month? Charts are a competition, not a constant variable. I know #1 sounds better on paper, and BP fans are literally all about gloating over the achievements of a group of strangers, but let's actually use our heads here.

Congrats to Twice for that but pure sales that do not match their streams is not something to brag that much especially in the West. Western artists are not even album sale giants but more of streaming giants. Only few are even able to balance their streams to their sales which BP is able to do. And the West is more of streaming than collecting CDs. You should actually think of the logic behind that 94k pure sales=9M streams. This means that there is a small number of Twice fans in the US to be able to achieve that. Meanwhile for BP 75k pure sales=34M streams means they just don't have their fans but the gp listening to their songs. Also, 75k for $50 album is amazing. YG is greedy but still able to reach that number. With the inflation going on, who in their minds would buy a $50 album that cannot even fill our stomachs? Only those who are hardcore CD collectors and fans.

For that Spotify deal you say, it is not something to be ashamed of. It is a wise thing to do honestly. Spotify and YG just took advantage of their capabilities and capacities by making that deal. Other companies should actually be jealous of this because having this deal is more of an advantage than a disadvantage moreso a negative thing.

BP has always been a streaming giant. Business wise, Spotify and YG did the right thing to create a deal since the deal is a win-win situation for both. And mind you, even without that deal, Pink Venom already gained big number of streams. Only when Born Pink was released that the deal took effect. And even after a week, Shut Down is still in Top 10 of Spotify Global. Consistency is there which is something other groups don't have.

Maybe because of the circumstances they are in, they were still able to achieve that #1.

just wanted to point out that "really" should be "RELY". You're so excited to drag Twice that you're not checking your typos.

My favorite bit about the whole "Discounted digital" "controversy" is that even if you tried to say 80% of their digital sales shouldn't count for some arbitrary reason, they still would've had enough to come in first place this week.
