Are 41 albums enough for SM?

I mean in exo alone they have 7 confirmed solo albums, confirmed exo album and possible exo sc album, that is already 9?

Shinee 4 solo albums plus possible group album and that's already 5!

SuperM and Got the beat that's already 2.

BoA and possible 2 albums from tvxq members and that's already 3.

At least 5 or 6 albums from all nct sub units.

Taeyeon, Super Junior and their solo albums, RV and their possible solos albums and possible nct solo albums, then Japanese albums and repackages, debuts, sub units, live albums (?)... is 41 even enough? This is crazy

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

41 albums x 500k copies sold per album x 12 dollars per album = 246,000,000 dollars in gross revenue

Quote from MissBehave

I just want a glimpse of Baekhyun at this point...

They said they plan to sell 18M album copies in 2023, they sold 14M with 31 albums last year, they will probably sell more than 18M albums which means Baekhyun is definitely dropping that album miss bey.

Yes, they promised ( ) they will let their idols have more creative input this year (for a good reason, we all know once their idols have more input things get more interesting) and I hope they keep that promise.

Also I hope they will make albums with better quality, like their albums should be sturdier.

Quote from JiminieKookie

There are more artist than that in SM

Probably Kangta might releases 1 or 2 this year again

I didn't include him because I am not sure if he drops singles or he still drops albums

Quote from MY-Kwangya

Only if they're good and you can't always guarantee that imo.

Imo their albums are usually solid, at least the ones I heard.

Quote from MY-Kwangya

Not ones I've heard.

Okay

Quote from redcurtain

no way EXO is getting 9 albums in just 10 months lol. Maybe 6 if we're lucky.

How?

1. Kai album

2. Suho album

3. Kyungsoo album

4. Chanyeol debut

5. Baekhyun possible album 99%

6. Xiumin album

7. Chen album

8. EXO group album and

9. If Chanyeol and Sehun somehow suceed and drop SC album, so that's 9.

Quote from redcurtain

I just think there's no chance SM is competent enough to schedule 9 albums in one year (or really 10 months by the time Kai's album comes out (at the earliest)). The most EXO has ever gotten was 5, and last year was only 3, SM couldn't even handle 4 albums in 12 months. Now SM is somehow going to be able to put out 9 albums in just 10 months? I want to believe it but they've let me down too many times.

Yes but this time 6 out of 8 members completed military service and now they have time to release albums. SM plans to release 41 albums, so exo is definitely there.

Plus all members I listed confirmed they are working on new albums and that they have big plans for 2023

This is our new reality now that almost all members have solo careers, album promotions will clash, tours and concerts too.

Quote from Yumeku

I like how you didn’t bother to include aespa. At this rate my exclusive queens probably won’t get an album this year.

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THEM HELP

I expect 2 albums actually. SM won't do anything and then they will work them like crazy

I actually wouldn't be suprised if it's one Korean comeback and Japanese debut.

Well at least Naevis debut is confirmed, I loved her until she stole Aespa album. Yes STOLE, that is stolen album
