I was looking about that B1A4 sajaegi and
Quote:
- B1A4 sold 22,000 copies of their previous album in its first week but sold 67,000 copies of their new album in its first week with only 1,000 people attending their fan signing (to compare, TVXQ sold 73,000 copies in their first week with 8,300 people attending their fan signing).
- Sold 3,600 copies in Daegu alone.
- No receipts released (agency claimed they will show them after they assessed the situation)
- Their album sales ranking rose to #2 only at night with a random spike of 8,000 copies sold in the span of two hours (1/19).
- Fans retorted that the spike in sales between this album and last album is due to the album being divided into six different styles and the increase in fans. However, people argued back that Super Junior had an album with 10 different purchaseable styles (5th album) which sold 79,100 copies in its first week. Their 6th album had even less styles but sold 80,781 copies, showing that the album variety has no impact on first week sales.
- Fans also retorted that 5,000 copies were sold through a group order and 3,000 copies were sold through their fan signing. That still leaves 32,000 copies in the air, which fans claimed were bought by international fans. There has yet to be proof or receipts shown on this, however.
- It is impossible for B1A4 to have reached even 40,000 in sales in their first week according to Hot Tracks' offline sales. (Hot Tracks recorded about 620 copies sold per day throughout their five record stories, making it impossible for the rest of the 32,000 to be sold in the span of three days).
- Proof gathered on the side of B1A4 accounts for 1,000 in domestic group orders, 3,500 in international group orders, and 3,000 in fan signing (Hanteo Charts confirmed that the max limit is 1,000 copies for group orders), which means 32,500 copies (81.25% of their sales) are still missing in the air and unaccounted for.
