16,000 in one day is great for an album with old songs and no Japanese songs.

Some resident Japanese acts would kill to have that nowadays Thats not SQUARE ONE shade either.

That's more than most monthly totals in Korea. And I'm not even talking about Hanteo numbers.

Speaking of Crystal Kay it doesn't seem like the single made the Top 50. I hope she don't get dropped by Universal.

Sucks that nobody's here for ha, because her music is better than a lot of acts' right now and since the beginning. I just don't get it. I guess a slight skin tint is a disadvantage, but 47 background dancers/otaku sex objects aren't.

It's sad though because while she never was Ayu/Kumi/Utada/Namie level big she was still doing some decent numbers for a few years. Everything just fell apart for her after Color Change in 2008.

Color Change huh? Bet she wishes she could sometimes

That's really unfortunate. She's so talented.

Mess. I don't feel like her being black has all that much to do with it though.

Crystal is a legend. Although in a totally different way.

After listening to Party Queen a few times I've really come to like How Beautiful You Are

J-Pop mind**** of the day: "Sure Shot Ricky" from m-flo's SQUARE ONE album samples this commercial about a toilet cleanser:

I wouldn't count those three out just yet. TVXQ's new single is doing great & KARA & SNSD's albums are still steadily selling.

They're the ONLY three who will probably have lasting success there for the next few years. These other groups are just fads of the month pretty much

My boys 2PM are doing pretty well for themselves too their Korean Best album debuted at #2 on the daily chart with about 16,000 copies

1- what if 2NE1 decided to sh!t ?! They've only been releasing stale remakes and already doing better than some groups (Phominute included) I wouldn't count them out just yet. TVXQ and Kara will continue to slay, as for SNSD, it all depends on the material,The Boys didn't exactly smash.

2- My boys MBLAQ also released a Korean Best of album and it debuted in the Top 10 (daily charts) even though they don't even have a Japanese album out yet unlike 2PM. That's not really something to brag about.

It's really good. And her best vocal on Party Queen IMO.

I think its safe to say 2NE1 is in flop land with SECRET, 4minute, and a few others Collection will either further prove this or sgow they still have selling potential in Japan.

The Boys did its job it wasn't released as a physical single they just performed it to promote the repackage.

Where did MBLAQ Best of land on the weekly charts? MBLAQ is doing OK in Japan better than some.

"Collection of Remakes" will most likely flop, for obvious reasons. I was referring to their potential, and when YG decides to actually try to make them happen in Japan with better promo, and original material (that their international fans would also be interested in buying)

& what kind of blasphemy ? 2NE1 are far more successful in Japan than those lessors who go completely unnoticed. Having worked with m-flo, landing multiple magazine covers, their single did better than both (again, a lame ass remake), and more importantly they can sell out concerts.

4minute & SECRET were able to sell out their concerts too

But seriously 2NE1 are more successful than them in Japan but not by much tbch.

Crystal is so underrated.

It's about more than just sales. ****'s sake.

I want her to make a full English album one day so bad. Kirakuni is the jam. A full album would be too much.

So true. Emi Hinouchi is one of the biggest flops ever(although if a label would've taken the time... ), but I still love her. Sales don't equal **** honestly.
