It was odd. But here they gave plenty of time, offered all the options, plenty of retailers. It was handled much better and it shows this how it should go going forward. I also saw out of all the competition, they ranked #1 in pure album sales.
Also interesting is timing, if they released a little earlier I think they would’ve hit top 5. For example TXT sold less than Twice but they hit #5 since they had less competition for their tracking.
I don’t really care about Pitchfork but they received a 7.3, the highest ranked review for a kpop album so far as they tie with an album from f(x). Good for them!
