Post-bundles, artists who can pull a 100k sales debut: 

 

Solo women - Taylor (X5), Adele, Beyonce, Billie

Western men - Old: Metallica, AC/DC, Paul McCartney

Not Old: Harry Styles, Morgan Wallen

 

K-Pop - BTS (x2), BTS solo members (x2), Stray Kids (x3), Tomorrow X Together, Twice, Seventeen, Ateez, NewJeans

 

Technically, 9 artists vs. 9 artists. It's weird how the only k-pop base that also heavily pushes singles sales is the bts army.

bc the bts army feeds off of the 'my boys my boys what my boys want my boys get' mentality, moreso than most kpop fandom. most kpop fandoms competitive for bragging rights or just naturally growing.

 

bts members themselves have been explicitly saying they want that billboard hot 100/billboard 200 smash, so the bts army rallied around that. most kpop groups incl blackpink havent been as vocal or have never explicitly said anything to that extent.

ok, in a vacuum. but i said given that there are so many k-pop groups that are pushing 100k album sales (way more than western groups) in the US it wouldn't be shocking if they also pushed 100k song sales. but they largely don't.

 

those fanbases' sales are also definitely way disproportionate to the level of fame they have to the US as a whole.

album sales are what most kpop group fans focus on the most i think..

 

what sets bts apart is the members themselves are very vocal about wanting to crack the hot 100. idk if that answered ur question tho i was just focusing on the 'It's weird how the only k-pop base that also heavily pushes singles sales is the bts army.' comment.

newjeans OMGGG, the new supremes :jonny6:

 

they did that with 1 year of career and no US promo. 

This is sth I can't wrap my head around. I don't follow kpop at all so, from an outside perspective, it seems like all these unknown acts have the same exact (obsessed) audience that buys everything from everyone without even deciding for themselves if they like the music. Which could explain why I don't seem to remember any of them releasing on the same week. Is that what's going on?

kpop fans buy albums honestly not for the music (well it also is, but its just one of), the actual albums themselves are filled to the brim with content. posters, photocards (basically embossed physical cards of the artists modeling, etc.), chances to win fancalls (basically talk w the idols/artists), etc.

 

the music is consumed mainly via youtube/spotify/streaming, the album is just an extension/souvenir of their support for the idol really.

 

they have a generally umbrella of being the k-pop audience but this audience has their own big subsets of fans, a casual fan of one group may listen on streaming but is a hardcore fan of another so they only buy that groups albums, etc. 

 

for example, im a casual listener of kpop groups like girls generation, bts, newjeans but im only going out of my way to buy blackpink, another kpop girlgroups albums because they're the ones im absolute fans of. 

 

its not necessarily a fight with release dates/releasing the same week, they just release differently because they're owned by different labels.
