Yet AKB48 is tagged as local, but they're big in Asia, seeing how other countries have RUN to create their own 48 groups in their countries

[Harrier]

In AKB48's defence, the bulk of their sales are from wildly overprice physical singles, while the bulk of SNSD's sales are from when buying music digitally was still cheap as **** in Korea. They're not comparable.

Yes.

True.
AKB also have meet & greets, lotteries and like 30 versions of each release, so they're even more different..

Yeah, that's not accurate.

They have 60,358,356 on the GAON charts, but the GAON charts only started in February 2010, so it doesn't count millions of their sales before that.

But this thread is about the group not that one member. judging by the wiki page, Their last release charted in 3 major countries and is currently charting in the top 200(iTunes) in 2 countries.
