great sixtones, first day sales surpass in 65k copies first day sales of their debut album

today is the last day of the year ?

nanidan 502k copies the first day, congratssssss

lol well, Johnny's doesn't release albums with 7 or 8 versions like BTS xd 2 post xd low quality troll

Snow Man = Normal studio album BTS = Compilation album (japan loves the compilation albums) Snow Man = 3 versions BTS = 8 versions, yes, 8! Snow Man = No events BTS = online gift event two week after the release Snow Man = released at the end of the year BTS = released mid-year Better compare Snow Mania S1 with MOTS: Journey, Snow Man studio album sales humble those of BTS last studio album Are you talking about longevity ?, Snow Man debut single will soon be turning two years in the top 50 of Oricon singles chart and all their singles are in the top 50 If you don't know better don't write anything

yep, most international fans believed that SixTONES would be the new top group (they sell well, but not at Snow Man level)

fun fact: Snow Man now has the best first week for a male idol studio album in Japan

great Snow Man

Snow Man defeat BTS and now have the best selling first day for an album this year

Sixtones increased their sales, that's good Also great kisumai

amazing sexy zone!!!

great Sexy Zone!

very poor the sales of the new kinpuri album, this is their worst first week

amazing snow man

great Snow Man

The Nikkei Talent Ranking is the most important ranking to measure the actual popularity of a group and the recognition of the general public. This ranking has been published for decades, and is much more prestigious than LINE's ranking. So, when someone mentions the most popular groups in Japan, they should not be guided by charts (oricon, billboard), sales, or tours, they should be guided by this ranking. The 2021 ranking (Arashi is in hiatus, so it was not taken into account) Johnny's power is awesome.

I wonder if Snow Man could against AKB, because they are already selling more than Nogizaka, without tricks and with only 3 versions
