Big Bang hits 100,000 mark in unit sales

Posted by sarahsusiepak2 pts Tuesday, March 1, 2011

In retrospect, it was probably a smart move for artists to reshuffle their comeback schedules, as Big Bang dominated the Korean music market in both online and offline sales. On February 28th, Hanteo reported that Big Bang has sold a record-breaking 100,000 units of their latest mini-album. On February 28th alone, they sold 58,000 copies. This is an enormous achievement, as it normally takes top groups a full year to sell 100,000 units. Big sales numbers in Korea are generally lower than that of other countries thanks to the prevalence and ease of illegal downloading. Last year, B2ST gained attention for being the only rookie group to have sold over 100k units, but that was with the release of four mini-albums and a grueling promotion cycle. According to Hanteo, the top seller in 2010 was Super Junior's "BONAMONA", which sold 129,000 units. Big Bang also accrued another achievement, as they entered the 'U.S. Top 10 iTunes album charts' for the very first time, peaking at #6. Congratulations to Big Bang! Source: OSEN via Daum Tip: Kathy
