KARA has managed to sell 200,000 units of their first Japanese album, 'Girl's Talk', in just one month after its release. According to the Oricon Chart on December 28th, KARA's 'Girl's Story' ranked in at 8th place for the weekly album chart; the girls have sold 21,933 units alone this week. Having placed 2nd on the same weekly chart for selling 100,000 units in its first week, KARA has sold 206,845 units in total during its first month. Having recently received a Platinum Award for their 'Mister' ringtone (over 250,000 downloads), KARA is expected to receive another Platinum Award from the Japanese Record Association in January if the rate of their album sales continue in this upward trend. Since the Japanese Record Association combines album sales that are not reflected in the Oricon, KARA could receive their Platinum Award as early as the first week of January. This will not only be a first achievement for any Korean girl group, but they'll also be the second Korean group to receive the award after TVXQ. Seeing as how TVXQ sold 200,000-300,000 albums for each of their official albums, KARA's accomplishments are nothing less than extraordinary. Source: Newsen via Nate
