EXO Makes History: 73,000 albums sold in 24 Hours

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

According the Hanteo's real-time chart. EXO sold 43,414 copies of the Korean version and 29,255 of the Mandarin version as of midnight on December 9th. This is more than twice what their repackaged album "Growl" sold on it's first day (30K).


Here's the receipt :)



This is what EXO's album looks like in-stores:



As a bonus surprise, EXO's album tracks are slaying the digital charts as well (especially First Snow and Christmas Day):

Christmas Day

I'm sorry, I can't hear anything over the sound of Jongin being perfect with the tiny puppy ;_;

I saw the numbers earlier and was happy for the EXO babies getting that money

Jongin and that damn toy poodle...they are so cute. That little bow on the dog and its cuteness makes me want one when before I only considered and Anatolian Shepherd if I ever got a dog LOL

Kris still looking good in the wig

Oh god those wigs are as hideous as ever but damn do I hear those sllaayyyyy bells ringing for EXO.

Growl did good work with rounding up new fans (aka more bulk-buying potential), I suppose.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

your faves were btob, right? I feel so bad for them because they're talented as hell but they still haven't had a chance to show all their potential.

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

EXO bb's slaying on a Christmas album. This is crazy!

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

lol at Xuimin in the first pic. He's my fave but I really can't with the wig and smile. XD;;;

SM must be thanking the day they came up with Korean/Chinese version concept as Exo's stans will buy both versions.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

Whoever came up with the idea is a genius

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

I think this minialbum has really good songs. These guys are stepping in the right direction. Quality songs = good sales :)

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

Grats bbs!!

Cuz I know y'all love 'em, here are Netizens Comments™ about EXO's album:

[+3417, -1139] That song "Miracles in December" is good

[+3039, -973] Honestly, "Miracles in December" is a good song

[+2755, -903] "First Snow" is really good!..

[+2509, -827] "First Snow" and "My Turn to Cry" are actually really nice songs.

[+2403, -820] "First Snow" is just my style,,,,

[+989, -271] Hearing about the 400,000 pre-orders, I went over to Melon, and saw that songs #1 through #4 on the chart were all EXO. Seeing that made me think that EXO really are the trend.

[+840, -168] Heol, 400,000 pre-orders? Amazing

[+785,-169] All the songs are actually good. Originally, I didn't think their singing ability was that good, but after listening to their lives this time and all the album tracks, I think I'm changing a lot of my thoughts about them.

[+344, -445] SM boy groups rise up the fastest. SM is originally strong in album sales but weak in digital, however [EXO is] doing well in both..SM's planning ability...acknowledged.

[+307, -27] SM is definitely the top company when it comes to creating fandoms.

[bluesandhues.livejournal.com]

i guess i really never knew that s. korea citizens liked ballads so much … it's interesting because Miracles of December though beautiful isn't really catchy like growl or anything but the public praises it a lot.

slaying left and right yussss!!!

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Kris is the only one who looks decent in that weird wig thing (is it even a wig for some of them??)

But yeah they're wrecking pretty hard, good for them.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

is that puppy real?


and slay on exo

[torontok.livejournal.com]

yep. it was featured in their MV

[torontok.livejournal.com]

The packaging of this album is so damn ugly
but slay exo babies, slaaaaaaaaaay

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

I still like the wigs, idk

First I read 730,000 copies and I was like get it boyz, breaking world records and stuff. So I was a bit disappointed with 73,000 (lol) but get the money and buy yourself more puppies, EXO, good job.

[x3raindropsx3.livejournal.com]

YAASSS! i have both versions on loop one after the other. I hope they see how well R&B does for them and continue to give them sweet jams.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

wow
i am not comfortable with the success they are achieving :S
i think they may crash and burn somehow...

like its too fast to be good
idk

[marishane.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy for them :D
And First Snow is a really great song to listen to.

[cherrypop.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know where I can get hardsubbed EXO variety show episodes (the currently airing one)? I'm in Korea so I can't stream from a lot of the sites that allow streaming.

[magickismight.livejournal.com]

i've been watching exo's showtime on youtube. takes a bit to find the full first episode subbed but episodes one and two should be there!

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

those gifs are so damn touching and adorable <3
