Is Exo more popular than Shinee

[sexicajung101]

If so why?

[NickyGolightly]

Right now, Yes 

Overall, No

[Sarah-dk]

sigh

[sofi]

EXO have a bigger fanbase and currently there is more buzz around them overall

[ShawolSONEexo]

[Exzime.]

Yes. Considering how they have sold 5 million records in less than 2 years and sweeping every awards there are. Breaking records for TV viewers and listeners on radio. And don't even get me started with the amount of people wearing WOLF 88 shirt. 

[supreme]

Not really.

For just last year, maybe. because they were kinda still new, trends mostly contributed by big fanbase + China + hype

while shinee has been in the industry longer and they are steadier. lets see if exo can remain consistent or will they fall down fast?

 

Exo- bigger fanbase

Shinee- more publicly recognized and likeable

 

Overall popularity, No.

Shinee is still holding on up there and more likeable in the general public.

and individually, Shinee members are more popular and recognized.

[sofi]

Yes. Considering how they have sold 5 million records in less than 2 years and sweeping every awards there are. Breaking records for TV viewers and listeners on radio. And don't even get me started with the amount of people wearing WOLF 88 shirt. 

 

uh did i miss something? .__.

[maryan]

we all know EXO has a much bigger fanbase while SHINee is more well-liked by the general public. 

[PerfectOppa]

Everyday is Exo day, but in the end it's Shinee all that matters

 

So I'd say Exo for now

[Exzime.]

oh right you're counting digital sales..... doubt it's 5m still

[har!ow!ow]

Yes right now of course they are. aish do I agree...aish

Though the only explanation that you gave which sounds sorta right is the 'more guys' option. More love to share around 12 to 5. 

[PanShip]

i really think its because of the large number of member ... 

its something i was thinking about lately 

 

people tend to like have more choices ... so with many members fans can personally pick one of many and claim them for themselves 

its like a harem ... 

 

but to go back on topic : *SIGH* 

[MrPenius]

Yes. 

All of the above.

 

[sexicajung101]

and where is the proof in that

[Exzime.]

oh right you're counting digital sales..... doubt it's 5m still

Rough counting of their physical and digital copies are 4.5 + million that is excluding China sales. It should be over 5 mill.

[SLEEP TALK]

Yes. Considering how they have sold 5 million records in less than 2 years and sweeping every awards there are. Breaking records for TV viewers and listeners on radio. And don't even get me started with the amount of people wearing WOLF 88 shirt. 

You and that tired 5 million records in less than 2 years comment need to take a seat already.

[Exzime.]

28 awards in less than two years too

[SLEEP TALK]

 

28 awards in less than two years too

 

I'm going to keep it cute and save my comments for when I see you in Khalid's thread. 

[mino]

Bigger fanbase = more members = more guys to stan

thats all there is to it.

 

And awards don't really mean anything (its just sales and hype) when half of the group are still deadweights.

[Kyungsoo00]

oh right you're counting digital sales..... doubt it's 5m still

Well if you count digital sales of everything it is roughly 5 million

MID digital sales = 446,000 (korean version)

                               226,00 ( Chinese version)

* this is just the digital sales for the album not counting the individual singles

 

You don't need to be surprise with the 5 million since there are always 2 version the sales is always multiplied by 2

 

You and that tired 5 million records in less than 2 years comment need to take a seat already.

Why take a seat when its true?

 

 

28 awards in less than two years too

 

Preach girl..

 

 

On topic Overall SHINee is still more popular I think If you count the years SHINee had been promoting definitely a lot more people know them. But right now EXO is the trend but since you're asking in general definitely SHINee.

Adding digital and physical sales (... like someone does in the SNSD sales thread) is retarded.  You are making a single mp3 out to be equal to an entire physical album.  No.

[Exzime.]

Are you UNNIE

who would've known

Incase you're wondering - that's what "records" meant - adding singles and album sales (both digital & physical)

They don't call Rihanna selling 100 Million records for nothing when her sales are based on digital singles
