GD's solo albums actually sold more than BB's albums

Highest selling album of BB is Alive (276,547)
Highest selling album of GD is Heartbreaker (309,343)

GD can compose - produce - sing - rap, can do varieties, can tour Dome by himself, can hard-carry his group by himself... It's almost ridiculous that he can do so many thing and do them well . A true superstar :rlytearpls:

GD could have easily pulled a Justin Timberlake and left the group in dust years ago but he still chose to be a team member. He's not only an outstanding artist but an amazing person too. I really respect him. Cannot wait for his solo in 2017, records will be broken for sure.

Heartbreaker sold as much as it did because it was released during BB's peak popularity in Korea. It was the first BB-related comeback after their major successes in 2008, and before they became a scandal-ridden group.

 

Anything associated with BB at that time turned into gold. Including 2NE1.

BB's digitals are still way above GD's alone.

I think one factor of GD's physicals doing well is the design. I wasn't that fond of the design of some BB albums but GD's album designs are great. 

 

GD's public image is greatly helped too because of Bigbang's image as a whole.

So you're confirming that at their peak GD could outsell BB by himself. Because numbers are hard cold fact here. Taeyang and Seungri sold no where near as much.

 

Not only Heartbreaker , One of a Kind and Coup d'etat sold just as much as a BB group album .

Guess who's responsible for making all them hit songs for BB's success :imstupid:  Hint : This person was behind the holy trinity Lies - Haru Haru - Last Farewell

GD definitely did well in making those songs but do you think it would have done as well as it did if he sang those songs alone? The epic rap exchanges between TOP and GD in Lies. The harmony of TaeDaeRi in HaruHaru----> I can't imagine these being delivered well by GD alone.

 

In a way, as a GD fan, I'm glad GD made the decision that time to agree that his solo song Lies be sung by Bigbang. I think it wouldn't have received the huge attention it got if it were his solo song and his talents wouldn't have been as recognized as it is today.

GD would have done well singing those songs by himself, I never had any doubt. In fact, GD told YG that he wanted to keep Haru Haru for his solo album but that rat YG made him turn it into a group song instead :imstupid:  .

 

 

Is it actually impossible for you to praise GD without bringing down BB?

Numbers are hard cold facts. Even if you ignore my comment, the numbers speak for themselves.

GD would never be the GD he is today without Bigbang. Popular and influential yes, but not as big. He'll always be legendary for being the leader of one of the most influential group in the world.

And its just physical albums - BIGBANG could stop selling physical albums all together and it won't matter.

man/woman, whoever you are, i admire your determination and power of will in hating bigbang, trust me i really do. It's not easy to spend your days filled with such a strong sentiment, to spew negativity every single day of your life towards people that you don't know and are closer to gd than you'll ever be. No one is forcing you to like bigbang, no one is giving two flying fucks about you yet you stubbornly go on with this, this is a talent wow. What is left to do is to just focus this energy on loving gd and not hating bb.

 

I envy you, if i had this kind of perseverance in my career i would've got a nobel already sigh

Bigbang is nothing without GD and GD is nothing without Bigbang.

 

Noope only the first part of your sentence is true. GD is a brand by himself, that's why when YG put up something to represent the company, you see them putting BB logo and GD logo separately. BB can do concerts/ fanmeets/ albums... without a non-GD member just fine, but without GD they're f*cked. Most people come to their concerts for GD and buy the songs because they trust GD's music skills.
