Predicted to chart at #7, but actually missed the top 100 entirely. Anyone have any info on if something weird happened? Groups usually don't do as well as predicted, especially on the UK charts, but for the prediction to be off by at least 93+ positions is strange. Granted, the album isn't doing very well globally outside of a few specific countries, but it should have charted in some capacity on the UK chart. I don't know the UK chart rules, so I'm assuming there was some disqualifying factor rather than positions being so horribly inaccurate.

Maybe the prediction hasn't accounted for the photocards or other inclusions from the album...

Is there some rule against that? I'm confused how that affects anything since pretty much all kpop albums have photocards.

Hmmm so that's why BP puts out CDs and Cassettes specifically for that market🤔

Yes.
It's a pretty easy problem to solve for labels. Just specify all the inclusions / release another version of the album -

Kinda poor planning for JYP to not plan for this then. -

If the official chart teased they would have debuted top 10, and it wasn't actually eligible, that was extremely poor and sloppy communication on their part.
but yes, it's annoying Kpop labels don't find better ways to deal with this. charting high in the UK is important, and letting their chart rules suppress success optics is not a winning strategy.

It's cause UK Midweek is not a prediction, It's actual units being counted daily until the weekly UK Charts announcement. So there was a possibility their sales on monday were frontloaded and they were in fact #7, but the rest of the week they sold poorly.
Or there was really an error and they forgot TWICE's albums have gifts inside (cause It's being sold on HMV store on UK, but Its not eligible to the chart due to the rules). But we can't know It was what happened.
