Kakihara Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Why people equate quality of music == sales? Did bts need to release good stuff to get those latest stats in USA? I still don't get the bashing though, pv and SD are bops. 80k - 90k with a $50 album is amazing regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re banking either way if you buy from the korean website or at Target. They’re making a huge coin from fans with money to buy at Target and they also banked on the tour. We have no idea of production costs, so they kinda knew western fans would import the records anyway instead of flooding US stores with albums when physicals are at an all time low there. y’all care so much about a chart when the only numbers they care about are past a $ sign and those look marvelous. BLACKPINK brings money. Just saw they dropped a signed digipack and now they’re makin one extra coin from chart obsessed stans without dropping a cent as a physical copy would demand lmao i fear i wanna be stupid like this They’re stupid at least for putting the album and tour tix out the same day. €68 for thé cheapest tix (all the rest €100+) and €50 for the album at the very least here in france is too much to spend at once. They should have released album tix a couple weeks later where fans would have another pay cheque. So yes, YG is stupid, they fumbled their own bag.

Bad Bunny’s album hasn’t even sold 50k worldwide yet its streaming numbers are mind-blowing and you want to call out BP, whose album blew past 1M already, for doing some 200M+ streams first week? Okay 11 hours ago, BTS said: Last I checked Proof sold 2.7M its first week. BornPink sold not even half of that. (1.1M) BornPinks predicted US sales (85k) are not even a third of Proofs (314k) The delusion You’re comparing BTS’s shipments (Gaon) to BlackPink’s actual sales (Hanteo). Unfortunately for BTS, their posthumous album didn’t get the sajaegi it needed from fans to make the tracks big. Circle Yet To Come - 127,871,945 For Youth - 14,591,273 Run BTS - 15,869,616 Pink Venom - 102,372,068 Pink Venom has already outstreamed Yet To Come on global Spotify and BP have 2M+ pre-orders that we’ll start to see with next Wednesday’s update. Good luck to BTS rushing out that re-release because Proof was so short-lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve already knocked BTS out of their way and I doubt Taylor can come anywhere close to them. Their only competition is Bad Bunny. Because otherwise, you are calling Bad Bunny their only competition when he sold less than 200k pure is totally nonsensical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakshowvato Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Their album is 4 dollars on iTunes... maybe the physicals are expensive (as are Kpop albums since they give you so much more content than just the physical album) but the cheap price on iTunes makes up for it.

Entity Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 They've failed to evolve and have been stuck rehashing the D4 formula. Their major singles since have no semblance of melody, cohesion, or proper build up. Everything revolves around a predictable beat drop, rap verses, and unpleasant and awkward choruses. I used to stan them quite a bit, and while I still do check out their new music, I'm not as big of a fan as I used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
