Albums with highest first day sales on Hanteo and their corresponding first day Spotify streams!!!!

Well, that tells it all.

SKZ are impressive!

To be fair SVT has a lot of Chinese stans. They don’t use Spotify but sales count for Hanteo.

The same could be said for NCT Dream.

EQUAL RIGHT, RIGHT THERE

BTS and SKZ

Justice for BE

So Seventeen fraudulent?

I think just JP/Chinese fans mainly.

They do pretty decent on youtube.

not really 17 main demographic is in Korean esp china they can't stream as much as international fans

Quote from paradis

skz are a strong number 2 here and they're only growing.

It’s nice to see when numbers make sense across and can actually be explained. Like we know acts that do well in China and still don’t sell those crazy album numbers and still do well internationally. Inflated album sales should be cut down

Well, numbers don't lie

It doesn't matter how much people bend over to shoehorn an explanation

so there is an insane amount of people who stream BTS songs and don't buy their albums got it

BTS numbers are insane. How huge the 2025 comeback will be

Yet kpop stans would like everyone to believe that BTS are the fraudulent ones
