Im afraid even this gimmick by Republic Records won't save VCHA from flopping

Finally JYP copied SM in the right way

This group will flop big time

What's more crazy is that most sales come from just 2 standard versions, and not from digipacks. I don't think any group has ever had this kind of disproportion between sales/streams.

So NMIXX has reportedly sold over 900k copies in just three days, which is indeed impressive. However, when we compare these sales numbers to the engagement numbers on platforms like Melon, YouTube, and Spotify, there seems to be a discrepancy. The title track had fewer than 8k likes on Melon, only 212k likes on YouTube within the first 24 hours, and just 270k streams on Spotify within the first 15 hours of tracking. In fact "Party O'Clock" is now NMIXX’s title track with the lowest debut streams on Spotify, even lower than "Roller Coaster".

While it's possible to attribute these high sales numbers to a large Chinese fanbase, the information from Weibo suggests that c-bars (fan clubs) purchased fewer than 100k copies this time. This raises the question of where these sales numbers are even coming from?

collapsedone never miss

Song is absolute BOP, first IVE's song that i like. But "I will survive" sample was somehow out of place, not sure that it should have been included.

Was expecting some mega banger drop like Pretty Savage, but this chorus was disappointing.

Compare to POP snipped this one sounds nice.

Div 3 knows how to kill all hype. Nayeon's debut was mostly carried by her own marketing skills, with constant spoilers on bbl and vlive.

Considering that japanese albums 2-3x times more expensive than korean -yes they are.

This is really disturbing lyrics considering all accusations and some members being minors

Did StayC lost their momentum? New song barely holding in top 100 on Melon.

Subunit is more likely

Also there seems to be a pattern of 4th Gen groups underperforming on Spotify at least relative to their past success. ENHYPEN, TXT, aespa, and now ITZY

The minimal number of streams for entry on Spotify Global right now around 890k, most of previous songs from 4th gen would not have debuted either

Idk but the twitter op stated it album instead of combine everything.

its about total units, not how much they sold this week. Total units include streaming equivalent units + downloads and pure sales. i think previous streams from songs like Black Mamba counting as well.

that's probably include all song streams and sales, not first week

Probably worst ITZY title track

Quote from KangK

Not sure how this work? I bought some albums from ktown and I am from overseas. So they will register my sale as domestic when they ship it? Ktown do that? How does this work?

I think gaon just showing sales from korean or overseas stores, I don't think they will track personal info of customers. For example aladin, yes24, ktown4u - korean stores. Target, tower records, amazon - overseas.

500k from korean stores i guess, ktown4u sales will count as korean store as well
