[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

...that's in total of all their albums sold in 2009? Are they actually going to get any money from it though? I forgot what the magic number they have to sell to get paid SM had was.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Well I think the "Magic number" is per album not total albums. They get money from everything else they do and all their solo activities. Girl groups will never make money off album sales

and people don't pull no ~biased~ controversy stunts on it
They'll probably do that over SM this time, considering how the votes are going.

I'm proud of how well the girls are doing this year :)
Surprised that their old albums are still selling though :O

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

awwww that gif is so cute <3

[chungmah.livejournal.com]

wow the mini albums sold more than the full albums.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

thats why they make mini albums. It is cheaper and they can make 6 comebacks per year and make 6 times more money since the fans want more music. It is a con

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

That picture has everyone looking gorgeous. *___* Esp Yuri.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

Good for them.

[psychedelicred.livejournal.com]

Kpop is always boring without TVXQ.

[inheritable.livejournal.com]

So where is Suju? This says it's from hanteo and they were registered as having sold more than GD as far as I remember from seeing the list last time.

[chosen-one-1.livejournal.com]

Not surprised their old albums are selling
I just started listening to all their old stuff these past few months<333 it's the shit

In retrospect, they did astoundingly -- throughout the transitions and especially with the boost from Gee
unstoppable<3

Super Junior passed 200k on Sorry, Sorry alone. Sorry sorry sorry sorry girls, but I think the boys beat you on this one.

(I'd say that I'm willing to bet that old SJ singles are still selling too, didn't some of the Only13 try to pull a stint with buying "U" in mass? Or was that 2008?)
