Why is SNSD selling so many Holiday Night copies but they aren't doing well on charts?

[amortentia]

this isn't supposed to be a shade thread. i'm just confused; i thought they were flopping, but their album sales are so high

[denizen mars]

they have a lot of very devoted fans but less casual fans and members of the public are checking for them. As with many groups that are strong physically but not digitally.

The same reason why boy groups sell well but can't chart. The public doesn't care about their comeback singles but they still have a large fanbase.

The only people streaming their songs are all the rookies that came to greet them

[JOYLUV]

Isnt obvious?

They have a big fanbase

[amatea]

fandom buying power

 

every NCT unit has sold more physicals than RV, yet RV's digitals >>>>>>>>>

 

basis for physicals - wiki

 

basis for digitals - I don't even need that. I have eyes and see the charts and let me tell ya, while RV might be slaying, NCT's digitals are a tragedy

 

It hurts me to say it, but it is the truth

no

[BITE MY CLIT]

it's common sense 

[ñyan]

because they have a huge fanbase

[foncho majere]

bulk buys for the international fans

sorry but I laughed

[m_allegretti]

Bulk buying from delusional fans

[puellarum generatio]

physicals and digitals aren't related

the same reason suju sells 250K and don't chart , fandom is big .

Just look at jessica she didn't appear on tv fr the last 3 yrs yet sell allot of physicals .

[NikitaWhyWereYouCanceled]

Big fandom to buy albums, but few of the GP enjoy the songs enough to buy/stream them.

[Gilraen92]

I thought everybody knew that digitals = public and physicals = fandom. A big fandom can help with the streaming but at the end it's not enough to keep a song charting high and secure longevity unless the general public likes the song too. Why do you think groups like GOT7 or SVT sell +350k but have low digitals? Bulk buying albums is easy, but you can't bulk buy digitals.

Fandom will buy the albums no matter the quality of the song.
