JAPAN ORICON BEST SELLING KOREAN ACTS THIS YEAR

BTS and Enha are doing great. Congrats!

twice is alone in the sausage party. lol

congrats all!

BTS legends no comments on their slayage

I think SKZ can surpass 300k sales until the end of the year even without any other comeback.

300k with only 1 korean and 1 japanese comeback... my boys are famous

I'm really proud of how SVT has been doing this year... just amazing!!!

wow Enhypen

Twice

GG sales struggling.

Twice used to do 350k-400k with one release, now multiple releases doesn't get them there. Nizi sales are down 90k odd from their debut release already. Izone's last release in Japan sold near 135k, nearly a 100k less than their penultimate one just the year before. In contrast, bg sales keep rising.

Looks like the shift to digitals is going to overtly impact girl groups when it comes to physicals even in Japan (for Korean groups anyway where you have less in person events). As I'm sure Twice's touring power in Japan will be as strong as ever and bigger than every group on the list bar one.

top 4 are all from hybe

twice being the only gg

I thought TXT would be higher. Ah their growth really is stairs, not elevator. It's frustrating to watch them get surpassed though, although they do eventually catch up. It just takes a while.

I also thought txt would be higher but idk if txt will surpass enhypen in Japan. Enhypen has a japanese member Ni-ki and his fanbase is pretty big.

Yeah this is true. I keep forgetting that. I'm terrified of TXT being overshadowed and forgotten. It's probably an irrational fear...

Yes, Hybe boys group are doing great in Japan

I'm really impressed with BTS sales there. I'm not following every Japanese release, so I'm really shocked (in a good way) with their numbers

BTSs growth in Japan is insane. Their recent JPN album (BTS, THE BEST) has sold over 900k in Japan alone. Thier past 2 Korean albums both sold over 400k-500k in Japan and we haven't had a korean album for almost a whole year . its crazy

Hybe groups really dominating here..

Interesting to see NCT Dream in here with a Korean release. And wow, Astro - I didn’t know they had a strong Japanese fanbase.

Congrats to all 🎉🍾🎊
