SNSD outsold the Pussycat Dolls.

I was wondering, with confirmed digital sales of 60,905,087 tracks and a total of 75-80 million in South Korea alone, have Girls' Generation outsold the Pussycat Dolls, or whoever the bestselling digital US girl group is yet?

PCD sold like around 10 million albums so I'm guessing yes?

Outsold them? maybe.
But they will never touch the impact or global success of the phenomenon that was The Pussycat Dolls. No other girl group will ever do that.

Nooo, that's digital singles.
It doesn't include albums.

And where exactly are your numbers coming from?
PCD sold an estimate 55 million records with 2 albums. How many albums have SNSD released?

What are all these? How many albums and singles have they released that adds up to 70 million?
So, they sold 15 million records more and PCD have only released 2 albums and like, 10 singles?
Even a person with a low IQ as you can do the math.
PCD's sales and global impact >>>>>>>>> That group.

They've released 17 singles, which is the same as the Pussycat Dolls, according to their Wikipedia.
Of course the list is going to be long, because it includes album tracks and multiple versions of each song.
Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

They're well above 100 million records overall, and their bestselling song sold over 8 million, which is probably more than every PCD single ever.

This is tragic
SNSD sell out 165,000 tickets with just 3 nights at the Tokyo Dome.

Don't Cha sold more than 8 million worldwide.
Still, PCD>>>>>>> that group. They are the definition of local and impact-less. PCD will always be one of the most impactful and iconic girl groups in the world. Nothing you say can take that away from them. It's a fact.

google is your friend.
And just by a quick google search, SNSD released more than 30 singles and 7 albums so get outta here with your fake receipts and bull crap. PCD almost outsold them with 1/3 of albums and singles.
Go back to school Blazing.

PCD have done 76 shows and their reported tour grosses show $10.6M for 15 shows.
Girls' Generation have done 970,000 in attendance (with two shows not reported) with 91 shows. That doesn't count the SM Town Live World Tours where fans travel from all over the globe (including me) to come see them. They pulled over $1M in one date back in 2011, setting a record for Asian artists.

Girls' Generation lasted for more than three years and they have more impact in Asia than PCD did WW. On top of that, GG have a pretty solid global fanbase and continue to gain in fame.

Woo lawd, you're embarrassing yourself.
Those 30 singles include Gee (Korean version), Gee (Japanese version), The Boys (Korean version), The Boys (English Version), Catch me If You Can (Korean Version), Catch Me If You Can (Japanese version), Mr Taxi (Korean version), Mr Taxi (Japanese version) etc.
Same for the '7 albums'.
Last time I checked, the same song in two different languages isn't 2 different singles.
Again, look at the actual names of the songs.
