While gg fans celebrate 100k sales, bgs sell 1m

Quote from Lubby00

It shouldn’t go like anything negative cuz nothing bad was said lmfao

Anything can turn controversial here

Quote from Lubby00

Top BGs lmbo, the smallest tier BG to ever sell (near) 1M is The Boyz I think

I mean many bg is very close to that 1m mark.

The #1 GG is behind the #10 BG

Yes I'm all for that too, it will give lesser known GG more lifespan and more years of content, which is awesome

All my fav 2nd gen groups decreased activity after like 4-5 years which is sad

Yep physical sales grew across the board since 2017. That boom didn't help "one particular group" or "one specific company" or "only boy groups" or "only girl groups" or "only big 3 groups". It had an impact across the industry which can be easily seen.

What started as "western validation" ended up being the biggest reason why kpop is big today.

I think it’s so cool to see the continued growth of Kpop across genders and groups.

Yep like,100k won't help those gg much as good as it seem

Realisitcaly to earn from physical sells a group need to ear from 500k and above bc the cost of production is just too much. Also the groups that sell 300k and above are all from big companies so it's not like they are in a situation where the company depende just of them (itsy, RV, twice, BP, aespa)

yeah but times chances nowadays bg sell more than 500k

It's really good thing that girl groups are selling well they can rely on their fandom and the group's life span will be longer

yeah but even that isn't enough it seems...

you mentioned for example loona selling 100K+ but BBC is still on the verge of bankruptcy no?

They still sell way less albums than bgs but I'm happy because album sales are where most artists make money beyond concerts and cfs(which they may not get much of in some cases), so it keeps the groups in the industry longer(Dreamcatcher is a key example as they're just Minx revamped with a different sound and new members).
