NewJeans' Get Up length probably wasn't enough to pass as an EP. Same with TXT's Temptation. 

 

Unforgiven has around 1.4M according to Circle iirc, so maybe, that is what really is and didn't make the cut (1.5M)

Newjeans targeting Japan while everyone else is targeting the US.

Who is right and who is wrong? Who is playing 4d chess while everyone is playing checkers? :gaycat5:

But Outside Aespa, the others gg does a lot of promotions in Japan. It's LSRFM and IVE 2nd market.

When do we use to know which celebrities are attending MET Gala?

 

Last time Taylor did, she was one of the co-hosts, so I knew months in advance. And in 2014 we found out earlier too, but I don't remember If It was weeks or few days earlier. However, I don't know how It works for other celebrities. 

 

I think this year has some chances for  Felix to go with Nicolas Ghesquière, so I'm interested. 

2/3 days before, his fansites will know. But remember brands paid for their table, it's a event mostly focused on the US/UK celebrities and LV have a lot of ambassadors so not everyone can go.

In the US, they have done Lollapalooza, Billboard Women Music awards and New Year Eve, but no official promotion. No english release, no interview, no tv show, no collaboration. :michael: I'm not even sure if they spent more than a few days in the US yet.

The same can be applied with IVE, who only performed at KCON LA. At least NJ albums are distributed there :rip:

Hagxo and Local IVE the only kpop gg again :clap3:
 

But is it me or they're really a huge decline in sales this year? NCT Dream first week sales is divided by 2 

 

Dream had the biggest first day sales of their career... :confused:

 

Don't their numbers usually get a massive bump during the week when the shipments are counted?

True, but Felix has a close relationship with Nicolas Ghesquière (the reason why he was at PFW Louis Vuitton runway) and It's easier to go when you have connections with brand's stylists/creative directors. That's why there's s chance for him imo.

EXO #8 best selling album globally (according to IFPI), 2nd SM album and, on top of that, a viral hit in 2023, 11 years into their career. They just can't stop winning :soda:

and they did all this while missing out on the global explosion of kpop during the pandemic + older fanbase in comparison to other kpop acts + multiple long hiatuses + barely any promo + constant sabotage for years :clap3:

 

them being the literal embodiment of: :gaygacat4:

Anyway, the upload of Candy Shop's debut stage doing about 5.6k views.  For comparison, Illit doing 130k.  JTBC must be seething.

That's just ridiculous 

 

I'm very proud seeing Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin thrive with their solo debuts & being the only ksoloists to get on this list, but still :rip:

aren't there some problems with mass buying in china? LSRF and aespa sold less with their recent comebacks as well

 

personally i think it's for the best cause the sales were getting ridiculous

i'm sure mother earth thinks the same

:suburban:

I thought Aespa was due to fanbase boycotting, I didn't know LSRFM sales declined?

Good music won! Can't wait for the comeback and the world tour in 2026!

We're almost Friday in SK, isn't it's weird if SM ships more than 2 millions sales during the weekend ?

Yes maybe then. Zendaya, Emma and Millie are 100% there already. So around 7 spots left.

It's going to be like Getup where each song has a different concept and vibe, and they promote everything.

 

I'd expect at least one hip hop song with the fits from the posters with the headband.
The shampoo song could be more poppy, maybe bubblegum pop.

1) i think it's a mix of both. and LSRF sales did decline but it wasn't a huge difference, they still sold over 1M

 

2) we all do, blue house korea will pay for their crimes :chick3:

I guess, but it's what they do.

 

 

 

ISTJ sold nearly 1.5M of their total sales on day 5 & 6.

 

Their current album is on a similar pace as their last
