Is it true Exo accounted for 10% of all albums sold in South Korea?

[ANTI-IKON]

Thats what I found here: http://exoyehet.com/exo-is-hanteos-1-selling-artist-of-2013-vixx-is-5/

 

In 2013:

 

 

"Hanteo ranked them as the #1 selling artists of 2013 because they managed to sell a whopping 972,974 albums through Hanteo’s charts alone!" 

If you look up exonyeondan exo 10% albums on google, it even comes up on the OH's main Exo thread. 

 

Can someone verify please?

 

[Lets Get Layed]

[Fuck OneHallyu]

[Miekos]

I don't care.

[ArseneLupin]

[ANTI-IKON]

If you mean in 2013 then I wouldn't be surprised. But of all time hell no.

Apparently you found the answer already, so idk why you're even asking...

[ANTI-IKON]

Apparently you found the answer already, so idk why you're even asking...

The sites I found are hardly credible. Thats why Im asking. 

 

I hope you are not one of those fans who believes everything they read. 

[Mischo]

For 2013? Probably. Which mean the total album sales of 2013 were around 10 million

[TAEMON]

OT: I see Jaejoong <3

 

 

but yes EXO are way up there now.

[Athena]

Yes, for 2013. 

 

Can you explain how please?

I would like an answer and a good one at that. 

Where to start hmm..

 

Hanteo is the count of actual sales. But only most stores are counted. Gaon counts shipments from distributors.

 

99% of kpop group's Hanteo sales are lower than their Gaon sales.

 

(ex. SNSD - Mr.Mr. (sold 159k on Gaon but 99k on Hanteo), Crush - 2NE1 (sold 62k on Gaon. ~35k on Hanteo))

 

These were all the sales of albums on Hanteo from 2013.

cr. dragonfly, wisteria

 

EXO practically sold 1 million albums. I guess if you calculated all of the album sales from 2013 (estimated around 9 to 10 million total), took percentages, etc  EXO would take up 10% of Hanteo 2013 sales. It's very likely.

[ANTI-IKON]

OT: I see Jaejoong <3

 

 

but yes EXO are way up there now.

I thought Junsu was the #1 best selling male artist last year. 

 

Where to start hmm..

 

Hanteo is the count of actual sales. But only most stores are counted. Gaon counts shipments from distributors.

 

99% of kpop group's Hanteo sales are lower than their Gaon sales.

 

(ex. SNSD - Mr.Mr. (sold 159k on Gaon but 99k on Hanteo), Crush - 2NE1 (sold 62k on Gaon. ~35k on Hanteo))

cr. dragonfly, wisteria

 

EXO practically sold 1 million albums. I guess if you calculated all of the album sales from 2013 (estimated around 9 to 10 million total), took percentages, etc  EXO would take up 10% of Hanteo 2013 sales. It's very likely.

So why don't people compiled both Hanteo and Gaon's sales? 

 

From what you are explaining, Hanteo are not representative of total album sales. Therefore, you can't equate taking up 10% of Hateo's 2013 sales with 10% of all albums in the whole industry. 

 

That would be an incomplete summarization. Correct me if Im wrong.

I thought Junsu was the #1 best selling male artist last year.

Jaejoong's picture is on there too ( number 4 ) he was best solo artist this year idk about Junsu though.

You can't add Hanteo and Gaon since they are counting/tracking different things.

 

You are correct though. Hanteo was created 2009ish so anything before then we don't have proper figures but just guesstimates.

 

If we were to compare Gaon though I don't think they would take 10% from 2013 Gaon sales.

[Baekslave]

In 2013 sure.

If we calculate Exo's percentage of contribution towards both and then combine that, technically we can. (?) 

 

Its just like what taking Exo's album sales in Hanteo and saying they sold 10% of all albums in the industry based on the assumption that Hanteo counts total sales, not a portion. But that would be an inaccurate estimation. 

 

Exo debuted in 2012, not before 2009. You mean we couldn't come up with proper figure for groups that debuted before 2009. 

[sofi]

Go to the yearly 2013 gaon album chart, sum up the top 200 and then do the math

[ANTI-IKON]

Go to the yearly 2013 gaon album chart sum up the top 200 and then do the math

 

[sofi]

 

That's not really relevant, you have to sum up the Gaon 2013 yearly top 200, every position, do the total, then subtract the albums exo sold in 2013 and calculate the percentage.

Gaon does not count actual sales. They count SHIPMENTS. Meaning shipments of albums from distributors to stores. Gaon counts more stores than Hanteo technically.

 

Hanteo count actual sales from MOST stores. Not all but most. Like if you buy two albums from a specific store that is affliated with Hanteo it will be counted on the Hanteo chart.

 

This is why you can't combine them. Neither are more reliable than the other either. Both have their respective margins of error.

 

Seeing your source though I'm pretty sure they just meant Hanteo 2013 sales since there was no mention of Gaon. They just wrote the title too broadly.

This is why you can't combine them. Neither are more reliable than the other either. Neither have different contributions than the other (well technically not sale-wise anyways, award shows are a different story) Both have their respective margins of error.

 

Seeing your source though I'm pretty sure they just meant Hanteo 2013 sales since there was no mention of Gaon. They just wrote the title too broadly.

Ohhhh I see. That explains a lot.

 

If we only look at Gaon, then we are disregarding surplus goods (distributed albums but not sold in stores). What is Gaon's distribution based on? Expected demand?
