Prediction for debut sales of ZB1

I genuinely do think it's possible that they sell close to 1M but always gotta be careful with debuts so I'm guessing 501-700k for now... that'd be insane in itself!

I think they will hit 1M in a week. Times have changed. X1 sold 521k before IZ*ONE broke the all time 1st day sale and total sale record (320k and 520k or something like that). That record has been broken like 20 times since then and today we have girl groups selling a million first day, multiple girl groups on the verge of reaching 2M sales and don't even get me started about Seventeens 4.5M.

From 2020 to 2023 we have at very least 200% increase in sales numbers across the board. I would say ZB1 debut hype is not quite as high as X1 was but it's not that far off tbh. It could still go poorly if the song sucks, Wa da da wasn't exactly a top tier debut song so WakeOne could still ruin it for them. X1 debuted with an absolutely unreal super banger.

1M in 1 day and 2M first month easily

I'm predicting 500k-700k to be safe, but if I'm really honest, I don't think 1m is far from possible. The lineup had the best initial reception that I ever saw in a reality group. All the members are liked in Korea, and some of them have crazy fanbases there (F4+Taerae), and other members have big fanbases in Japan (Gunwook, Zhanghao and Matthew) and China (Zhanghao and Yujin). Outside of asian countries we have Ricky, who's the most viral member and attracts attention to the group. Add this to the increase we had in sales this gen, I think 600k at least is almost guaranteed.

I have no doubt they will sell more than 700k, their hype is huge

I'll bet 400-500k first week

And over 900k first two months

Their hype imo, is on pair if not slightly bigger than X1. X1 was plagged with endless discussions about being a rigged group and the line up overall wasn't nearly as well liked as ZB1. SNS following is stronger for ZB1 and the show performances on YT are getting a bit better views than Produce X. Boys Planet even has a song charting on Korea right now.

Will you give the closest prediction AKP money?
