Lol @ the font becoming so small when it comes to SM.

From all these companies the ones with comebacks on 1Q were (cmiiw)

YG: Treasure, Rose and Bobby

JYP: none

SM: wayv, Baek (only his first week sales were counted tho), Suju, SHINee, Yunho

HYBE: Bts

- Jyp heavily relied on skz and twice old releases, even their ex group got7 was contributing lol. And it seems skz are on their way to be the best selling acts in the company now. They may already have the best selling group album on the company

- YG once again relying on BP and their solo releases. Even Jennie old pb was getting numbers

- SM selling the most thanks to their bgs, mostly nct restocks (it's amazing they sold 1.2 million only with wayv new cb and the rest was restocks), Baekhyun whose sales weren't counted fully at that date, and their 2nd gen (Suju and Yunho selling that much in 2021, just wow). Good to see RV there...

- empathy, a 2018 album, selling 120k in 2021, amazing!

- HYBE heavily relying on bts, nothing new. Txt second, selling the most with their old releases, I didn't expect that. And Gfriend numbers were just sad...

And people really thought i was trying to set up SM groups when i stated that SM vs Hybe might be a real battle this year when it comes to new album sales of BGs.

Suju, Shinee, 127, Dream, WayV and EXO vs BTS, Seventeen, Nuest, TXT and Enhypen

If BTS only comes back once this year, it's GAME ON when it comes to 2021 album sales.

Both companies just need some ggs releases Taeyeon 2020 album and Wendy/Joy solo can only do so much, we need aespa and RV full albums...

Sadly Gfriend are now gone and HYBE only have the bgs to compete with other companies, it would be nice to see a versus between the ggs from the big 4

I think it would be something like BP (hard carrying YG)>Jype ggs (niziu included)> SM

TWICE has over 300k in sales.

89k only in 2021 according to the articles. Maybe 300k was a number fans counted including japanese releases. Nct 127 released a japanese album too and it wasn't included

Quote from barnaby

Sorry, I meant over 200k. They have 134k in Gaon sales so far and 92 k in Oricon sales.

it makes sense they have 134k now, the count for 1Q ended a while ago, like not even Baek full sales were counted (he's sold 1 million+ with Bambi)

They stopped counting Bambi sales even before the first day ended (march 30th) since the articles only lists 590k copies sold

so it makes sense twice numbers were below 90k until april

The title needs to be changed to Korean Album Releases because HYBE and JYPE sell well in Japan

That's the title or the article, if not, nct 127's loveholic and Baek's japanese album would be included too. This is just korean releases because most of the companies have their groups co-managed by japanese companies there I guess?
