Pre-orders for EXO's first album 'XOXO' about to reach 300,000 copies

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

As you know EXO finally released the music video for their long-awaited comeback "Wolf" recently, but we're still waiting on their first album (for the official release)!

The group has suffered from a leak of not only their title song earlier this year but their whole album lately as well as a practice clip, all before anything was officially revealed.

However, that hasn't stopped their devoted fans from pre-ordering the group's first album 'XOXO' because SM Entertainment has announced that the pre-orders have reached almost 300,000!

According to the agency, 299,280 albums have been reserved so far, as EXO-K and EXO-M are uniting as the full 12 member group EXO this time around, drawing interest from both Korean and Chinese fans as well as music lovers from all around the globe.

The album will hit shelves on June 3rd so make sure you support the boys by getting yourself on the pre-order list!

Wow. Didn't expect to see that number tbh, even knowing the dedication of the fanbase...

[jia-zhang.livejournal.com]

I'm curious which version sold more, the Korean or the Mandarin version.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

And now I'm lol-ing at all the immature fangirls who thought that the leaks would ruin their comeback.

but yes, i'm very proud of the boys. i know it's .. well considering its both m and k versions, i truly believe this will open up a lot of opportunities for them. ~media attention~, interest from the general public, more cf deals, and so on.

[x-undercover-x.livejournal.com]

wow shit mang, that's a nice number and the album has great tracks so yay
Still haven't pre-ordered mine but i wish they had a version with both Korean and Mandarin tracks instead of ordering two, if only for sheer space management of my room.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how they have such a strong fanbase so early in their career. I don't understand it but good for them.

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

Wow I was not expecting that number. Other than Wolf, the album is freaking amazing though.

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

seriously the songs. unf. its not fair that chanyeol and kai can sing either. the last time i felt this way about an album must have been dbsk keep your head down or epik high.

[kneekalies.livejournal.com]

Wow!

Yes, future top group in the making right there. Congrats to the Boys! I hope they win some of these music shows next week, even though they have some big competition.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

that's great

[age-ofconsent.livejournal.com]

that's crazy. the fans are so dedicated. i'm too cheap to even buy one.

[kelseyum.livejournal.com]

i'm one of those :) although it was mostly a depressed, drunken decision the other night as a self birthday gift lol

i'm really happy for the boys, they deserve it. im glad they have such a strong fanbase already, even if half of them are crazies.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

The album is freaking good, not surprised. Get it.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i am not surprised, hardcore fandoms work like that.

add in that they are males and are under sm, so that is tripled.

then add that their fandam is crazy insane that are slowly making elfs in they hey-days look calm and that they bulk buy like no other, and you have the final result.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

Your excuses are as hilarious as they are thin, any other SM group could only dream of those numbers a year after debut (shit even now)
The bulk buying thing is so tired and has been dismantled by so many ELFs so many times its not even worth my time
People need to face the fact that EXO actually legitimately are physical monsters and a FORCE right now

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I wasn't quite expecting that but M and K did sell over 200k of the first mini so I guess it shouldn't have been surprising

And even as an EXO fan I admit the fandom is made up of a lot of crazy children...I just hope avoid Belieber cutting and Cassie/ELF stalker levels

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

the exo fandom is so scary. i still rmb reading articles when exo-m were stlaked to their hotel and it still gives me shivers thinking baout it

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

Please haters, tell me more about how much EXO are flop rookies and that physical sales mean nothing and that wolf will fail :)
Cackling right now at anybody who doubted them - I knew they would slay :)
Your faves could literally never

FUCKING AWOOOO BITCHES!!

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

so far this showcases that they have a incredible loyal and hardcore fanbase tho, which is no surprise, they still have to prove themselves to the public and show their relevancy.

[nujagurl.livejournal.com]

yass

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

are they going to outsell suju/dbsk at this rate? i have no idea about sales for the other two other than a lot...

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Suju sold like 500k last time so I doubt it.

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

How much is their album? I might purchase it, just because.

[luinmyheart.livejournal.com]

there are different versions but it's around $15-$20 each plus shipping.

[unicornios.livejournal.com]

Wow, what a number. Congrats to them!
I still have to listen to it but I've heard it's hot ;) minus Wolf.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

That's what happens when a young, diehard fandom is starved for new material from their biases and there's two versions of an album with lots of extra goodies inside them.

With that said, I can't wait for my copy to arrive.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Pre-orders as in by stores right? (not actual sales). Good for them.

[nicole8991.livejournal.com]

[kibume.livejournal.com]
