There will never be another kpop group as big as BTS. BTS will always remain as the peak of kpop's success

Quote from beatrixavier

For 2 versions, Hybe should be thankful its BTS otherwise I doubt they (or other companies) will be this brave for their other groups!

If some of the groups that usually sell 2M+ released an album with just 2 versions, they would be lucky to hit 750k

BTS albums sell atleast 25% more than that on Hanteo. 'Proof' is at 2.8m on Hanteo. It would have been at atleast 3.5m if not for shipping issues for this update by YG Plus. By the end of the year it will be closer to 4m than not on GAON.

I don't think anyone is close to selling that. No one has sold even 2.5m even with all the gimmicks nowadays like online fansigns, cheaper, individual, 10+ versions.

The only 4 who look like selling 2m+ are NCT Dream, Seventeen, NCT 127, Blackpink. Seventeen and NCT Dream's sales have already stagnated because the limit to gimmicks has reached. NCT 127 & Blackpink might do 2.5m but 3m is still quite far away.

True, at the moment it seems like 2.5M is the upper limit for groups besides BTS

Yeah it was the best selling one last year and is best selling one this year as well.....

BTS back catalogue sales are exemplary

2021 had almost 4.4M back catalogue sales and this year has around 1.5M for the first half only, it truly is unprecedented in Korea

👏

Wonder if it'll still be the best selling album of the year 🤔

Probably, I think it will take NCT or SVT a few more comebacks still before they can reach 3M

Quote from HardcoreBLINK

I see

Is it 127 or dream?

Has 7 surpassed 5M sales?

Sticker from 127 I believe, and 7 has 4,875,562 sales as of this month. 7 will probably get the 5M certification either at the end of the year or early next year

This album has had crazy back-catalogue sales too, 1.2M sales from 2019 to now

Quote from HardcoreBLINK

I thought some NCT sold 3M+ with 1 album (including repack 🤔)

The bestselling NCT album has sold 2.4M without any repacks, and circle (gaon) doesn't recognize repacks as the same album when they certify

Quote from Blue2012

It's Gaon's version of Billboard Global 200, which excludes the US.

I guess this excludes SK? Or weights global streaming more?

The Global 200 itself doesn't exclude the U.S., it is split into 2 separate charts. One is the regular Global 200 and another is the Global 200 excluding the U.S.

Let's check back here when the IFPI charts come out for 2021

I told you I'd check back when the IFPI charts came out

ngl, I've never heard of this fandom before but google tells me it belongs to TVXQ. tbh I think EXO had a bigger fandom at their peak than TVXQ did.

20M+ is on the extreme low end of what they will sell next year IMO. With a full album BTS could double their 8M+ figure here, and every group on here will grow their sales as well. 30M+ seems possible to me

damn, 8M+ and no major album release for BTS this year... even if they just release 1 album next year (assuming it's released like mots7) 15M+ seems entirely possible

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

I don't think folks here realize that even Justin Bieber has outcharted BTS this year, let alone Aespa.

That's an odd statement to make considering BTS got more digital points than both of them combined this year

Quote from cheersj

Uhmm no, JuiceWrld is still huge if not monster in streaming.. If the collab is true and if it charts, both artists will have a huge contribution, not hard carried by 1, i think.

His fans do provide big streams, but it's never been enough for a #1. If this song goes #1 it will be because of ARMY's help. I'm also hoping that this salty toxic side of his fanbase is just a loud minority that mostly keeps to twitter.

they are all outselling the main group account with ease too

They've had a very productive year, it's about time they get some rest. Also, I'm glad Bighit finally confirmed their next album, I'm sure it's going to be an absolutely monumental release.

Quote from monalisalove

Op made a question, suddenly all IU stans are shady, bad people, they are like "kpoppies"...

There really wasn't any need to question a bonsang award this hard tho, it's not even a major award

You must be really sad to be this upset over a bonsang
