EXO break the 500,000 mark in album sales!

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

EXO has set a record by selling the most physical albums this year!

Their 'XOXO' album, both the regular and repackaged, sold 501,000 copies as of August 28. The last artist who managed to sell over 500,000 copies for 1 album (including its repackage) was Super Junior with 'Sexy, Free & Single'.

EXO sold 166,000 copies of the 'Kiss' version of 'XOXO' and 131,000 copies of the 'Hug' version of the album. The repackage also sold 123,000 copies of 'Kiss' and 77,000 copies of 'Hug'.

They are the best-selling artists in Hanteo's history since 2009, and since they are still the #1 artists on the Hanteo charts, there's no telling how much more they'll shoot up.

Congratulations to EXO!

get it!

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

The slayage is real.

I find it interesting because it's so obvious SM are pushing SHINee for the daesang this year; it makes me think they didn't anticipate these kind of numbers for EXO.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

this tbh

though I'd still want SHINee to win that daesang :(

And ppl said they were flops. THIS is why their the future of SME.
Get that paper Suho <3

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

There're people who said they're flop? Didn't they look at the numbers? :O

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Considering i saw even japanese fans bulk buying the album, the numbers dont surprise me lol
I hope the boys are seeing a large chunk of this money!

[torontok.livejournal.com]

where do these kids get the money? Im still saving up for my copy + shipping costs -___-
give me one, you rich fucks.

[tendrejoue.livejournal.com]

Ikr I'm still putting my little money together and some people can bulk buy, please send me one too rich people!

[caramelorchoco.livejournal.com]

[caramelorchoco.livejournal.com]

and precious suho

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

that is insane. sm must be cackling rn that their evil plans are going well.

growl is a hit digitally too, pretty impressive tbh.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

That's the magic of being a SM group. No other explanation needed tbh.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

get it, boys!
SM is probably evil laughing right now, they found a way of selling almost the double of what they would normally sell with the K/M thing lol

did suju really sell more than 500k copies of sexy free and single on hanteo? or is allkpop using their gaon numbers?

[rosetta16.livejournal.com]

I knew they would sell over 500,000 their sells r crazy and is just their first album, wonder if they would hit the million mark on the future
Cause even thought I can’t see them going higher I can’t see them falling either...
congratz on your new monster SM good job

[morningtsuji.livejournal.com]

this is prtty good album, not surprised ppl are buying it

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

i still don't understand why they're so massively popular lol. I have no hate towards them but I really don't get the massive attraction. And i've seen EXO-K live but they were pretty meh.

SM must have brain washing power

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

they improved a lot since debut. i remember cringing through mama and left the fandom for about a year lol



my fave fancam perf of kai

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

i wish they'd be more interesting, lord they are bunch of boring ppl.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

[coldhives.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it terrifies me how popular Exo has become, considering they just debuted last year...

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

LMAO @ that gif.
At first I thought they sold +500k only with Kiss+Hug version of XOXO, but then I saw the two repackages were included. It's still impressive tho, and they're also slaying digitally with Growl. Congrats! :)

[age-ofconsent.livejournal.com]

And 9 wins for Growl :o love it

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I won't ever understand bulk buying, but good for ya exo, get that money!

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

The more albums you buy, the better chance in getting into fansigns. Some sell the albums afterwards anyway. But I guess you already know about this lol

[seroquels.livejournal.com]
