Pretty sure everyone know BP will live just fine in their million dollar houses. The dragging are more targeted toward blinks and it’s funny to see they don’t see that.

TWICE have sold 13M albums. That’s almost a western recording artist level globally. BLACKPINK haven’t even touched half of that in pure sales, so I wouldn’t compare their album sales. Moreover 1.5M of those albums came from QQ, which makes it worse when IFPI reported the album at 1.5M and blinks were claiming 3M due to bulk-bought Chinese sales for like $1. It’s giving Big Bong sold 75M albums and 30M MADE albums level of delusion :deadbanana:

 

The only time they could sell that much was when it was unregulated and I’m curious how Tencent’s crackdown on bulk buying is going to impact their sales overall 

YG stans like to manipulate total sales. 2ne1 supposedly sold 55 million records but 90% of the sales came from digital download which cost less than 1 cent.

Im talking about per album sales, the stupidity :deadbanana:

 

Twice can release albums like Mcdonald's releases their burgers, but they wont outsell Blackpink per album. 

 

Gaon sales:

 

Twice: 8M sales with 12345678x albums

Blackpink: 6M sales with 4 albums

 

not only sales, Blackpink has the streams to back it up. the true measure of music consumption in the streaming era.

I mean, The Album sold 3.5M* should come with an asterisk a la BTW. 99 cent sales counted for a lot, and 13 cent Tencent digital downloads aren’t worth the same as a 14.99 album

Not these people really thinking their no talent copycat of an already #2 or #3 girl group favs are bigger than twice. It’s so entertaining :gaycat6:

The Album sold almost 2 million pure globally without China. 

 

Gaon: 1.5M

USA: 295k

EUR: 80k

 

Nobody is claiming 3.5M for The Album. Y'all non-fans are the ones inflating album sales. lol

Did you miss my point earlier about Lauryn Hill? Her album ratio is 8m+/album, because she only has one. The same math applies for BP. Teddy even said this was the strategy they were gunning for :rip:

 

Release catchy singles and pump demand then drop as little music as possible to retain demand while giving just enough to make it worthwhile. IVE are also doing well on sales and steaming, and aespa are doing well in Asia in terms of sales and streams. Additionally TWICE is only second to BP for streams so I don’t get your argument other than they have a high sale ratio per album, which again is due to a lack of actual albums, so… congrats on coming to the same conclusion?

Twice selling that many albums pure is absolutely massive no matter how much people try to spin it around. And they deserve every ounce of that. 
 

but I can’t help but be sad at Blackpink’s wasted potential over the years by YG. I mean they’re clearly doing well individually but just imagine the amount of albums they would have already sold if they were given more material to release in these 7 years. They could have rivaled Twice. Not that they need the album sales, but “the biggest girlgroup” barely even crossing 5M entire career sales is kinda low. And now with Shut Down and the contract period ending, I truly feel like they won’t be a group for much longer. It’s truly such a waste.

fact:

 

 

SNSD's biggest album wasn't after longest hiatus

Twice's biggest album wasn't after longest hiatus

Adele's biggest album wasn't after longest hiatus

Taylor's biggest album wasn't after longest hiatus

 

 

Aespa didnt reach more than 1m sales due to long hiatus or starving strategy, not even 2ne1 outsold SNSD with such strategy.

 

 

starving strategy/long hiatus/limited content wont make the sales for one album at more than 3.5M, if so then why other groups cant make it?

It’s obvious it’s their disbandment album. The video being an homage to their previous videos is pretty much confirmation of it. Teddy didn’t even work on all of the tracks, so they’ll probably be debuting Beamon a year or two after the tour concludes. YG’s goal was just to prove they could slightly improve the 2NE1-print which they did. The reality is that YG doesn’t know how to manage but they do know how to brand. They’re the first KPop company to realize that idols can make more money off of themselves instead of just music, and they did just that

Twice fans should be thankful that Blackpink isnt releasing albums anymore and this is their last.

SNSD’s biggest album sales in Korea at their peak came after their longest hiatus (almost 2 years) - their reunion isn’t relatable since BP are 7 years into their careers, not 15

TWICE’s biggest album sales also came recently after their biggest hiatus (1st million seller) 

Adele’s hiatus literally fueled one of the biggest sales weeks ever GLOBALLY (3M in a week in the us alone) and went on to sell 30M with one hit, so this is factually wrong 

Taylor’s biggest album (1989) was due to her longest promotional period, so that one is correct 

 

The reality is that it’s a valid marketing strategy. So where is your 3.5M number from? Globally? All of the charts and predictions don’t add up to this. Even with the 2M preorder, there’s still 1.5M sales missing. Should we add QQ sales again?

That member is deranged and delusional my god :rip:

Adele's longest hiatus is 30.

 

SNSD and Twice biggest album sale is not after their longest hiatus, of course nobody is including reunion.

 

That 2M pre-order was when their ktown4u is at half the number they are now, most likely they are at 3M sales without the other countries again.

 

I dont know why you keep bringing up QQ music, when I dont even know that. you seem to be more into QQ whatever.

was the 3.5 million album sales was snatched?

 

 

the 1M sales snatch look more of a fraud with 20M streams opening week.

 

BP always have ORGANIC streams to back-up their sales.

 

What is there to snatch when they haven't sold that amount yet?

 

I am so confused with you blinks pulling numbers out of YG dungeon. Born Pink is currently sitting at 1.1 million on Hanteo, barely even moving for 4 days. Now they're not even selling 100k in the US. To reach 3.5 M they need to sell 2.4 M in like 3 days
 

Like where do you even get these numbers from?

good for their standards

So what you’re saying is that they haven’t sold 3.5M, you’re speculating and making up fictitious numbers? Glad to see you admit it! 
 

Hope to read you comments next week when we have official numbers. Until then, they’ve met half their preorders, have a million more to sell to catch up to that preorder amount, and then we can begin talking about exceeded expectations. Wishing you luck x

Did I miss the 3.5 million preorder statement? Cause last I heard they released that 2 million pre order then silent. Only fans have been running their mouth assuming they will reach 3 million based on the fact that the preorder was released prior to digipack version. YG has said nothing.
