[enter-talk] DON'T YOU GUYS FIND THAT THE PHYSICAL ALBUM SALES ARE WEIRD LATELY?
Am I the only one who feels that way? The kids who are selling more than Twice, how come they're unable to go on world tour at the scale of Twice's world tour?
People are saying that the albums are bought from Chinese fans, but are they as popular as BlackPink in China, who holds the highest sales volume? Nopㅋㅋㅋ
They're f*cking weird honestly
For example, BTS's total sales was 5M, their first week sales was 3M and their concert had 2M attendees
BlackPink's total sales was 2.8M, first week sales was 1.5M and concert had 1.5M attendees
Twice's total sales was 1.5M, first week sales was 650K and their concert had 500K attendees
If you're going to keep on shielding, look at Bigbang with 1.5M attendees, so why aren't they able to match that? And we're talking about 8 years ago, when albums were way more significant than now, so what's different? Back then, female idols selling even 100K was considered impressive

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You've written your answer in your post ㅋㅋㅋ Right now, we're in a different era than when albums were still important ㅋㅋ Right now, the general public's acknowledgement is less and less important and the core fandom became the most important. Of course, the physicla albums sales will rise too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You're so f*cking hilarious writing your post when you have the answer yourself

But it's just because the rich investors are able to buy f*cking lots of albums no? Especially international fans. You can see with aespa's first week sales blowing up in legendary proportions. It's all thanks to Chinese bars who are able to buy large amounts of albums that they hit daebak. Rather than a lot of people buying, it's more like a single huge investor buying lots of albums now

Grandma, stop this already, if they develop their career more in the future, they'll be able to go on world tours too

I stopped trusting in these numbers when RV went from selling 100K to 450K ㅋㅋㅋ They had a power trip controversy and nobody was joining the fandom anymore at that point in time, so you're gonna tell me that they were able to almost 5x their figures? ㅋㅋㅋ As for aespa, China also bought 800K of those 1.1M albums, so without China's help, aespa would've sold 300K, meanwhile they weren't even able to fill the Jamsil concert with 5000 people ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Of course it's weird

Of course it's different if you only have 1 seat/person in tours, but 1 person can decide to purchase 100, 1000 or 10K albums ㅋㅋ Anyways, that's the amount of money fans are ready to invest in their singers, because that's their affection. I don't understand what's so weird about it
