Not them outselling Midnights and 30 sales combined with just preorders.

Artist #1 is pretty much guaranteed. Taylor has a huge catalogue and Kpop acts sales tend to be very frontloaded only BTS can really compete with her.

That's actually INSANE! That's more than BTS right?

Two kpop groups have now outsold BTS (Stray Kids and Seventeen). 

[jqnetto]

It definitely is since she still has huge pure sales herself and the streams / etc are other-worldly 

 

But this is so insane. I think at least half of the top 10 IFPI artists of 2023 will be Kpop acts for sure. SKZ, SVT, BTS (even on hiatus) and some others guaranteed for sure. These sales alone could take SKZ to the top 3.

Oops my bad. I wasn’t trying to come off as aggressive though  

 

But anyways yes this is HUGE. Kpop acts are going to be taking up many slots on the global artists list. I wonder if SKZ or SVT will top BTS this year.

What. Why?

There is something seriously fishy about just how fast the K-pop pure sales market keeps growing for some acts. Stray Kids is absolutely irrelevant in Korea and in most of Asia, and a non-event in both Europe and North America. They have a decent-sized fanbase in China (absolutely nothing compared to big artists) but definitely not big enough to justify 5M preorders. It has always been a mystery to me where all their sales actually come from.

their big fanbase. they usually just buy albums to collect the members photocards

since stray kids has 8 members, they have more sales. basically, more members = more sales

It is now challenging Map of the Soul: 7 for the best selling Korean album of all time.

Same old fraud. Mass buying without shipping.
