Billboard Japan mid-year albums sales (BTS, NCT, etc)

I wasn't aware Loveholic sold that much. Congrats

Oh wow

Can't wait to see how BTS, The Best does.... their last jpn album sold over 700k and that was before dynamite blew them up like crazy in JAPAN and compilations are known to sell more.

Hello loveholic it wasn't as good compared to their other japanese albums though

Today Billboard Japan released the mid-year ranking of album sales.

1. SixTONES - 1ST (572,074)
2. Mr.Children - SOUNDTRACKS (354,067)
3. BTS - BE (318,282)
4. Hey! Say ! JUMP - Fab! -Music speaks.- (272,347)
5. Johnny's WEST - rainboW (227,521)
6. Sexy Zone - SZ10TH (214,875)
7. NCT 127 - LOVEHOLIC (206,886)
8. JO1 - The STAR (195,255)
9. Masaharu Fukuyama - AKIRA (164,430)
10. KinKi Kids - O album (150,630)

Billboard is curious, Oricon included a lot of these albums in their 2020 rankings, like the albums of BTS, JO1 and Mr. Children.

For BTS, I guess the reason BE album is there is because they released the regular version for the album this year.

I'm still a bit salty about why MNet didn't give SixTONES or Snow Man the award for best new Asian artist last year. Yes I know why and that's why I'm a bit . I'd have been embarrassed if I was a J01 member. I'd taken it of course but...

oops. Sorry for mispelling SixTONES. Corrected.

billboard started its year before oricon, oricon 2021 started the third week of December, billboard started in mid November, so those sales are maybe the total of BE in Japan

November? Isn't November too early to cut the year? Almost nobody in Japan cares about Billboard Japan anyway.
