I have no idea who Jay Chou is but why is the biggest flop of 2022 doing on this list? Proof?

Oddinary and Thursdays Child also have 1.8M, but are below.

I'm curious to understand the criteria.

Charting doesn't matter. This is pure sales total numbers.

The circle charts is in charge of reporting their numbers to the IFPI. Frankly whenever I look at the circle charts it never makes sense and I question the numbers.

and people question blackpink they are the only girl group there

And bitter kpoppies trying to believe that BTS flopped just to cope! LMAO

BP

Now that the IFPI list is starting to look like a regular Kpop Chart, when will they take that list away?

I wonder if they will change the rule to no more than 100000 versions to be on the list.

Jay Chou has the last laugh

2019 - Arashi

2022 - Jay Chou

All these infighting leads to acts from other countries to have their days

IFPI is based on pure sales reported from different countries plus PAID album donwnloads

Hanteo is based on reported sales from retailers but they need to be hanteo certified to be counted on the chart. To be Hanteo certified u need to pay them— hence US , JP and EU stores dont count. why will they pay hanteo ? 😂

Circle/ Gaon is based on shipments from distributors to retailers. It doesnt mean it is SOLD already . It can stay on their warehouse or stores w/o being sold.

Rumor has it that IFPI values sales from CH lower than EU and US. I am not sure its true. Though the one on top is a Taiwanese singer, his album pure sales is over 5M so even if let say they value it for 80% only its still more than the rest since we also need to add paid album downloads.

The only explanation i can come up with is Enhypen has more “PURE” sales and those below them are just shipped but not SOLD and Hybe is intentionally not restocking enhypen’s album so their sales in Gaon wont be above their other 4th gen bg. Possibly the reason why there are no SM artists since they probably have high album stocks to retailers and/or most of their album sales are coming from CH. Enhypen until now is charting in BB Album charts in US and some EU which is considered pure sales and this is interesting since their numbers in Gaon is not moving. I think its more on the stock numbers of other grps which are not considered pure sales.

also, manifesto is not just 1.4 . U need to add the weverse album w/c i think has over 300k sales that are counted separately in gaon but part of pure sales. gaon is not pure sales though—its shipped albums to retailers sold or not.

it matters be. charting in US and EU in album ccategory is based on “pure sales” including paid album downloads so if ur stl charting in places where hanteo dont count sales it means ur stock albums( shipped albums) are stl selling. Gaon/Circle is based on shipment from distributor to retailers sold or not. It stl on the store or warehouse of the retailers for all we know😂. IFPI is more credible than hanteo or circle in my opinion since its pure sales and have more reach than gaon or hanteo.
