Western artists release WW. Selling less in every country, including Korea, shouldn't be celebrated. OT: How would 2017 look so far? 1. TWICE 2. Red Velvet 3.

Sis 5H sold over 400k copies of 7/27 pure. They're not local, so obviously most of their sales come internationally. With SPS the album is over 1.5m WW. Also, why you complaining about SPS when most of LM's sales come from the UK, where sales numbers on chart are ONLY reported in SPS. @BlazingLovatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise BL took off 50% of LM's UK sales of Glory Days right to compensate right? Even then LM's UK albums sales are 70% physical Edited July 29, 2017 by Queen Conchita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the first point 3. 75% =/= 100% OT: BLACKPINK need to release an album, this is getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make out that LM's 800k figure in the OP includes the full UK sales figure when it doesn't. Taking 50% off when it was reported 70% are physical (so pure sales) is only making LM's number worse anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossip_Boy Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) How the hell did SNSD sell that much when they had no releases last year? EDIT: Oh you added solos too Edited July 29, 2017 by Gossip_Boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
