I already said that NewJeans would easily break the girl group sales record if they didn't have two back-to-back comebacks in just a month

On first day maybe but in total Bornpink still has the highest selling albums ( 2.9m)

Do you know their first day sales for their last comeback? The one with ETA.

ok

I'm patiently waiting for the full day numbers to come in before making this forum eat crow and you do this to me

I don't think that's how math works

It's like saying I should work for 1 day and I could sell 200 ice creams but because I split into 2 days I only sold 100 ice creams on both days = 200 total and I could have just worked for 1 day and sold 200 on my first day and get my highest first day ice cream sales

It's called common sense.

K-Pop fans don't have infinite money.

Your awkward analogy aside, the real world doesn't work like that. The moment it was announced that How Sweet and Supernatural would be releasing just 1 month apart, I saw Bunnies on discord and reddit and Twitter saying they would have to buy one or the other, and most said they would save for Supernatural form the drawstring bag version.

Their first-day sales for 'How Sweet' were 811,843. If we combine both albums, they've got 1,493,636 first day sales by now, and probably more by the end of the day. Currently, Aespa holds the record for highest first-day sales for a girl group with 1.3 million.

NewJeans aren't seeing a sales drop like a lot of groups, but their weird release strategy is what's affecting them. And releasing both albums just a month apart is already crazy without expecting the sales to split between both released.

I am sure they would have sold more, but you can't comebine like that.

Not to be a downer, but it does not work like that. Know the law of diminishing of return. In this case, there is more incentive to buy if there is item/album is different.

In this case, this market as a Japanese single, but release worldwide? Interesting, usually sale for Japanese singles only come out of oricon or Japanese billboards.

I personally believe their sales would still drop from 'Get Up', but not to the percentage level that was 'How Sweet' If the gap between it and Supernatural was bigger and they weren't being sold simultaneously.

don’t forget these are single albums. why are we comparing the sales of a double single album to a full album or even mini albums?

The weird strategy kind of helped their Japanese debut as international fans are buying the albums too due to the collab merch. It confused everyone if it is Korean release or not. MHJ kinds of smart in a way, especially adding Korean lyrics in the songs too. No way a K-pop group can pull these sales with actual Japanese debut, it's been 2nd-3rd gen groups only done it especially.

The sales will rise even more when people becomes aware of the bag album. I can see twitter posts that korean online stores are currently selling out some of the members version.

how can two different variables be combined like that.

whatever it is the number of albums sold is huge

not people bragging about a 2 song album

IVE has multiple singles, we bragged about it before? What is the difference?

No one cares if it's 2 song album, it just needs to be good.

There might be some sales gain but not double though.

Kpop fans buy a million versions at a time and that’s where the bulk of the sales comes from.
