Is NCT/Blackpink missing top 20 IFPI weird? (when Seventeen is in)

Seventeen have more releases between their South Korean and Japanese albums. I'm pretty sure the NCT subunits count separately. Blackpink just doesn't release enough albums.

it's not weird bp doesn't release that many albums

Seventeen makes up with their Japanese sales which neither has.

I was surprised to not see blackpink

this chart depends on MANY factors, so both groups probably lack in one or a few of these factors

doesn't mean they did bad, just that globally there were bigger recording artists

bp has never been in the artist chart bc they lack albums and back catalogue

this is obvious rigged..blackpink is top group in world

Because SM and YG didnt submit the sales. They simply don’t care

BP doesnt have a big catalogue sadly.

they don't need to submit it,Ifpi took their information directly from KMCA

Better luck next time Blackpink and NCT.

Maybe with Hybe's help, NCT can chart for 2023

Quote from tetetete

I think all top 5 artists have lots of songs in their discography which get a lot of streams

Lol BP outstreamed the groups up here with their few catalogue. It’s a matter of physical sales which BP lacks to make the gap compared to these boy groups

Face The Sun - 3.4 million

Sector 17 [repackage] - 1.8 million

Dream [jp release] - 757k

Seventeen sold more than 6 million with albums released in 2022 [not including past albums and Chinese sales]
