lovenatu 5,347 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 To add on, Gaon numbers are generally considered more accurate and more reliable. Hanteo is mostly only used for the daily numbers and to gauge first week sales. Hanteo is missing a lot of sales from stores that aren’t affiliated with them.

mmmmm 209 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 read this thread : Click here to view the Tweet does that mean even overseas album sales are counted towards gaon? Iz*one sold 232k (gaon) in Korea plus the 49k in Japan does that mean they sold a total of 281k albums. or does the 232k in gaon counting even the 49k in Japan?

plutto 9,419 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hanteo is real time + counts only some stores associated to Hanteo (IIRC, they're mainly korean) Gaon is monthly + counts the shipments made to stores all over the world One is not more reliable than the other when it comes to total sales and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namie-Knowles 7,115 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 As people have said already above Gaon is also more trustworthy. Since albums that are returned since they are sitting on the shelf, are reported where as Hanteo doesnt count albums returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblepenguin 156 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 arent goan sale still count as sales cause the store bought them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby 1,045 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 arent goan sale still count as sales cause the store bought them? Of course. But, whatever isn't sold is sent back and Gaon adjusts their figures. So, it's a much better system. Stores aren't going to let merchandise sit and take up valuable space for long.

I'm Finally A Star 2,509 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Adding to what everyone else has said above, hanteo actually does not reflect “korean†sales 100% of the time. For some groups/artists with big international fans, they can expect to have high hanteo sales as well because international fans will order their albums from online korean stores which gets counted to hanteo. So if a group decides to distribute albums to another country (i.e. Japan), you can expect the hanteo sales to go down (because fans from those country will no longer buy from online stores) but you can expect a rise in gaon and whatever metric that country uses to count sales (billboard, oricon, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taemi 3,110 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hanteo is real time + counts only some stores associated to Hanteo (IIRC, they're mainly korean) Gaon is monthly + counts the shipments (minus returns) of albums produced in korea made to stores all over the world One is not more reliable than the other when it comes to total sales and so on This + bold part - Locally produced albums (ex: Taiwan produced,...) are not count neither with Gaon, neither with Hanteo - Gaon tracks and deducts returns while hanteo doesn't.
