[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

and damn 43 albums? or is the album called 43?

[wrongbyright.livejournal.com]

under G-D.

[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

Yay 2ne1 and GD!

[steeele.livejournal.com]

Yey.

[pinkiyoojin.livejournal.com]

just sayin', I know for a fact that Suju sold more than 210k copies

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was wondering about the individual albums sales not the total, isn't it like some ridiculously high number? Anyways, it's kind of ironic that they don't make money off of any of their music.

[aunts.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

[wrongbyright.livejournal.com]

Ah well, different charts different stats.

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

lol ok i'm not surprised people are still buying snsd's old albums.. but didn't expect the numbers to be that high.

but how the hell did Seo TaeJi released 43 albums in ONE year?

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I think all the numbers should be higher than what they are on that list. I remember there being an article about snsd selling 100k of genie. Maybe they are getting their numbers from a different chart.

go fierce tweny wan bitches~
i hope they dominate some melon awards and people don't pull no ~biased~ controversy stunts on it

[pyramidsonmars.livejournal.com]

gee gee gee gee baby baby baby baby

[sayitisso.livejournal.com]

i think it means since he debuted in 1992...when i was born, lol.

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

the report comes from hanteo, which only gives the percentage of sales from stores that actually report their sales figures to them (which is not all of them).

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I think they have to sell 500k copies to get like 5 %. Unfortunately if you don't write or produce your albums, you don't get a lot of money from sales. That is true in western markets as well. I think you have to sell 1 million albums to really see money from albums.

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.

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

lmao yes i just realized how stupid my comment is now.
apparently critical reading isn't my strongest point -_-

.. 1992. great. i feel ancient now. thanks bb.

[pinkiyoojin.livejournal.com]

oic

[sayitisso.livejournal.com]

are they actual votes? 'cause if SM artists win from actual votes nobody can pull any controversy stunts on them. idk i'm such a noob when it comes to these things

[sayitisso.livejournal.com]

i often speed through the reading and make up my points when i comment, negl. and don't feel ancient! i'm just young~ lol
