Seriously, how is Twice number 9 on this list? How many top western artists are there in US right now?

It's pure sales, isn't it? Pure Sales are dead in the West.

Congratulations TWICE and BTS.

Congrats Twice and of course to my fave too.. Now I’m curious, what number did Twice get for BB200 (chart that looked at album sales in the US)? Coz I remember few kpop acts at top 10, did Twice charted well too?

They debuted at #3 with 100k copies first week.

The way the Beatles are still on this list.

To make such figures after so many years is just out of the ordinary, here we can really say it: Aged like fine wine.

So Twice’s sales are probably not front loaded but a steady continuous sale

These are physical album sales. Have you ever bought an actual album in your life other than kpop? I really haven’t. Lol. Literally no one even has a CD player why would anyone buy it.

I think it’s still impressive for twice and shows their fandom power. But I think in a few years you’re gonna see this chart only contain kpop lol. And maybe only some very big name like TSwift.

8 weeks on the chart, but only like the first 7 weeks are counted due to the cut off of the tracking period.

However, this also contains most the sales of Formula of Love released at the start of the tracking period, which having two albums in the tracking period is the main reason for them making this list.

Beatles maybe more overrated than BTS 😡
