Looked at Oh/RDR and Lucifer/Hello both prolonged each of the groups popularity for more than 6 months 
2ne1 on the other hand is doing US style which isnt beneficial for them in winning since they have no album sales to back up especially its the lead single. |
Maybe I'm just extremely ignorant to korea's market, but I dont see how releasing a single before an album lowers its sales? If anything, wouldn't it increase them seeing as people will want to hear the rest of the songs? I dont get how releasing 3 songs out of 10-12 on an album will lower the albums sales.
Look at japan, artists still smash with album sales over there and they usually release more than half of the songs on an album before its release.
. I'm trying to get into 2NE1. Where I start?

It doesn't help for a balance of album sales if the singles are all released in the way that YG is doing them for 2NE1. At least not in Korea.
