Hyooga 10,307 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I used to really like Johnny's groups back in my DB5K days (tho not as big as a fan as DB5K, I loved NEWS and KAT-TUN) and one thing that always struck me is how the physicals of J-Pop idols far eclipsed K-Pop groups. K-Pop had their million copy era, but that was before digitals became a thing. But as more gimmicks like fansigns and stuff happened, and the global reach of K-Pop widened (example, Cfans and Japanese fans buy a lot) the physicals began to rise again even during the digital era. I was reading articles about BTS selling over 1 million preorders then realized that the released count only included sales until 31 August They've opened up more selling methods since (Amazon and Taobao), and will possibly have shelve retailers once the album drops (their distributor, Sony Orchid has a reach in the US, Europe, South America). The album also has ZERO information. No photos, tracklist or teaser. But fans still bought. It is said Walmart has been playing BTS regularly to gauge audience reception (and could eventually lead to the decision of their CDs being sold) Click here to view the Tweet And Target is a possibility too. Click here to view the Tweet All in all, I never thought I'd live to see a K-Pop group selling this well globally It's always been a delulu wish of mine but I always thought it would always remain a delulu dream. Apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
