Woohoo! I wish I'd waited for the repackage, though. The War is too short.

Well deserved album of the year!

It's funny tho that people keep expecting them to decline, yet they just keep outdoing themselves.

So I've always wondered when people bulk buy thousands of copies of albums where do they keep them all at?

[cocacola.livejournal.com]

for some baidu bars i've seen them being stored in warehouses. what i'm more interested in is them (baidu bar owners) shipping the albums to the individual sellers that must be a shit ton of work

[lovelivelife1.livejournal.com]

and there was a time people thought they sold so much was because the chinese members 😂

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

Lol IKR!? Obviously it wasnt just about them.

[yukwons.livejournal.com]

GET IT 👑👑👑👑

Can't wait for the repackaged!! The boys can't stop hinting about how the repackaged is the real deal. Bless them!

[cocacola.livejournal.com]

i can't believe it. i'm so proud of them!!!! i'm ready to make the repack a million seller too 💪💪💪

[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

comment more so we can gaze upon ur icon sis

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Not even suprised by these numbers, but -and please don't think of this as an EXO bash-, this was their worst album yet, imo. Only ended up liking & buying What U Do and strangely enough, Ko Ko Bop.

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

its okay, i know there are a lot people who have no taste out there

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

When I see such figures I can't help but think that if yt and twitter weren't banned in China, there wouldn't be anything sns-related that other groups could win in against EXO...

[normanikordei.livejournal.com]

ko ko bop is doing extremely well. in its fourth tracking week and still top 10 on melon during peak hours, top 5-6 on the ichart, #1 on the gaon digital chart for three weeks straight. it almost beat gfriend's love whisper for the #1 spot on the downloads chart this week, they sold just 20k more, and it's their debut week. plus 11 music show wins.

AND it's going viral #kokobopchallenge

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

WITHOUT A REPACKAGE???!!! THESE KINGS ❤❤❤!!!!!!!

i'm just so happy and proud of them. this must mean even more to them since they were so happy and proud of this album!!! hopefully we'll get some cute ig videos!!

[sparkb.livejournal.com]

Congrats boys! I really feel the sincerity (?) In this Album. Its prob bias talking here but somehow I feel that they really put 200% into this one.

Excited for the repackage!

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

Good for them. I personally loved everything about this comeback and felt this was an amazing album, so well done.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

And here I am, proud as anything when I haven't contributed to a single million seller of theirs since Growl lol.

The War is a brilliant album (fuck Kokobop though) and I can't wait for the repackage

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

woooow, that's pretty damn great! one million, goodness.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

congrats dudes.

these sales do not reflect their popularity tho, it just shows that they have enough cray cray fans who buy 10000 of their albums to push sales.
bulk buying is such a weird phenomenon.

a wise man once said:

I see lots of fans buy albums & just store them I don't think that's necessary. I know it's because they like me & want to support me but...

...that's too much. If u want to support me, buy a few for friends/family & tell them there's someone making this type of 🎶 & that's enough.

[kwonsoonyoung.livejournal.com]

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

Congrats boys!!! They seemed to be super excited about this album so I'm happy it's doing well.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

Congratulations🎉💯
They keep amazing me

[filmgoesround.livejournal.com]

nhf the not so transparent undermining of this milestone with that old bulk buying and exo's fart noises would sell millions bullshit

tell that to a group who doesn't have one of the most consistent and diverse discography in the industry

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]
