So this basically debunks the sajaegi rumours right?

sajaegi what?

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

[maishi-obuki.livejournal.com]

I don't think so.

But eh.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

? I've read the article in the link and the Dispatch one as well. This post just reminded me of CN Blue's rumours and how their Gaon numbers proved they didn't do sajaegi so...

i just listened to jaejoong's album last week or something and it's good. like, really good. i felt like i was going back in time with most of those tracks, but in a good way.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

I love it, but I have to listen to it when I'm in a mood? [Not sure if that's the word I want to use] But you can't just listen to Paradise on a Tuesday at 5:45 pm....not with him breathing and sighing all in my ear. Too much for a Tuesday.

[pepper.livejournal.com]

Flawless album tbh. Whenever I want to relieve stress by crying, I listen to Paradise. It works like a charm.

[aneeleniffum.livejournal.com]

Just saying Jaejoong did zero promotions. Js *proud fan*

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

Congratulations B1A4! So proud of those numbers for my bbs.


Also nice to see Vixx doing so well with Voodoo. <3

[sergel02.livejournal.com]

Saw Rainbow sold 5,274 in 2 weeks so I'm satisfied.
GsD, DS, Rainbow, and AoA are all in the top 20 for album sales so that's something.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Wait whoooaaa voodoo hasnt outsold repackaged mini-album jekyll?
Jekyll sold 112k by the end of 2013. Voodoo sold 69k last december.
I was expecting atleast 150k sales for this album since this is a full album and i believe they did way more fansigns for it too. Well, maybe it'll catch up, but idk how since promos have ended already.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Mte. Dissapointed that they didn't do better with Voodoo when that song and the performances are flawless.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. Voodoo (song) charted higher than any of their past singles.
It got them their number one. So the song did do better than every other single they've promoted.

The voodoo album on the other hand, is not outselling (at least not yet) their last mini-album repackage jekyll.

[swhyeon1991.livejournal.com]

No, actually GR8U (http://www.instiz.net/popup_ichart_change.htm?mode=21&song=%EB%8C%80%EB%8B%A4%EB%82%98%EB%8B%A4%EB%84%88&artist=%EB%B9%85%EC%8A%A4) did better than Voodoo (http://www.instiz.net/popup_ichart_change.htm?mode=21&song=%EC%A0%80%EC%A3%BC%EC%9D%B8%ED%98%95&artist=%EB%B9%85%EC%8A%A4)?

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Im not sure but iirc accdg to an article voodoo was their first top 10 hit while gr8u was top 14.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Jaejoong LOL...

EXO still doing it

Homin did well digitally too!

Okay...I'm confused on how B1A4 won music shows over DBSK and Girl's Day but okay

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Music shows use Gaon's digital charts (iirc) and for the 2 weeks B1A4 was winning they had higher digital scores than DBSK (they're 8mil points away on the monthly chart because their song was released 2 weeks later, they actually had higher first week scores). In fact they're way ahead of DBSK on Melon now. They also had higher physical sales + SNS votes than Girl's Day and Ailee.

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

I hope more people realise whatever you've said because everyone keeps asking why they're winning just because they're the less well known group

[palebluedot09.livejournal.com]

ikr. lol ppl need to realize that all their sales have increased with each new release. plus this is the first comeback they have had in a long time so we haven't really seen the effect their multiple appearances on immortal song and baro's acting on reply have done to their sales. plus the bana fandom is really big in korea.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

"plus the bana fandom is really big in korea."

Some people seem to think that there are like 5 banas in Korea just because the fandom isn't as big as other groups - have they not seen the turnout at recordings? (the one I remember the best was when Sandeul, Baro and Jinyoung were on Dream Team - the amount of Banas in the crowd was crazy)

Whatever #LONELY8THWIN!!

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

People keep forgetting than music shows aren't only physical or digital sales. It's a combination of both+SNS points+other criteria.

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

tell them sis

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

B1A4 did/are doing really well digitally too. I don't know how they aren't in the digital top 10 tbh. I'm confused ._.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Some had a 1-2 week advantage since their songs were released earlier so they managed to accumulate more points for January. But Girl's Day/Ailee/MC the Max could definitely beat B1A4. I'm just amazed (and proud) they charted at #12 :D

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

True, they released the album on the 13th (iirc) while others like DBSK or Girl's Day released theirs a week before. I don't doubt Girl's Day has higher digital sales because they're still top 5/10 but I was just surprised they weren't above DBSK because they're doing way better than them digitally.

[lovejae23.livejournal.com]

WWW is flawless.
how is xoxo still charting lol oh exo

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

Slay a bit, Vixx and Rain.

[donttakethebait.livejournal.com]

yay vixx \o/

[harisukaori.livejournal.com]

Yay for TVXQ. They did well digitally too <3

Is it only me or is there sth strange about Jaejoong's numbers when it comes to repackages? Both Y and now WWW repackage sold exactly 50,000 copies in the first month. How come his are the only round numbers? o.O

[fashionxxavenue.livejournal.com]

gaon is albums shipped not sold, so maybe they just ship exactly that many idk? lol

[shouichi.livejournal.com]

Whoaaaaa... who thought that TVXQ Digital can be #7 monthly whoaaa

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

wow @ B1A4 selling in a month more than they sold in the whole last year. I think they could be considered at least a second tier group now.
DBSK sold way better than I expected too, almost 200k in a month o_o. They also did better digitally than I thought. But why aren't B1A4 in the digital top 10 tho? As far I know they're doing better than DBSK.
Girl's Day are slaying the digital charts too, I'm happy for them. I think they should be considered a top/second tier group now.
Btw, those EXO sales are only for 2014, right? Because the cumulative sales must be waaaaay higher. I remember Miracles in December sold around 200k the last time I saw it.

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

Yup, the EXO sales are only for 2014.

[skonka.livejournal.com]

The only things that make sense to me are Rain and TVXQ doing well. My western ears simply do not appreciate the fare served up by Girl's Day, B1A4 and the like.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

yas girl's day

[batterydead.livejournal.com]

congrats girl's day!

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Girl's Day slayed.

Also IU slaying, Friday is such a good song, I'm glad she's doing well.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I'm so pleased for Girl's Day! Since Expectation (although they had a hiccough with Please Tell Me, which I loved but the public liked less) they've been really slaying!

[yunchunnified.livejournal.com]

TVXQ SLAYING. EVEN IN DIGITAL SALES. KINGS TBH...
