do you think kpop companies should stop revealing pre-order numbers?

Quote from likeastarr

that makes sense and 5 million is a really huge number to surpass. how long were there releases usually between albums?

From 'MAXIDENT' to '5-STAR': 8 months

From 'ODDINARY' to 'MAXIDENT': 7 months

The last time they had such a rush from an album to another what during from 'NOEASY' to 'Christmas EveL' to 'ODDINARY', they released 3 physical albums within less than 7 months. And we barely saw any growth from one album to another. There's no even 200k in difference from Noeasy's totals to Oddinary's totals.

That's why I thought the fans wouldn't as hyped to buy R-S. I already saw this movie. Personally, I think 5-STAR still feel fresh.

Maybe because IVE don't need to mediaplay?

No, you're giving them too much credit.

They definitely in their declining phase. Seventeen this year also didnt have a huge gap between comeback. I thin its the same or less tha Stray Kids but they able to surpass their old pre order sales and brea stray kids previous record

Seventeen had a bigger gap than them. But even If they didn't, Stray Kids and Seventeen are different groups and their fandoms move differently.

I can only make analysis on what I have knowledge on.
