can sb tell me how to read the hanteo website?there is a chart on the left and a big one in the middle.which is the one i should read? thank you :-))

[bokachu]

^

you can't read them. You need Korean ID to get access to the full chart

Anyway, the left one is real time search? or sth (irrelevant)
the middle is the sales one

[happy!]

^thank you :-)

I dont even know if those sales are accurate now...on that Chinese website, it says those numbers are the number of albums sold in China? I am confused.

[Kowan]

^Nope, those are from hanteo.com. It's just that those are her chinese fans who are keeping on track with her hanteo sales. And for today, I don't think hanteo has yet to update with her international sales. Still so low! If people from around the world had already ordered and bought the album(that is to be released today on various online stores) then the numbers would have already been updated on hanteo no matter what time it is. Or maybe they will update later? guhhhhh is her album really selling that badly?

we can wait for the gaon chart update... maybe hanteo isn't that reilable?

[Kowan]

Actually both hanteo and gaon are kinda the same in terms of credibility. Hanteo is more credible in terms of actual sales per day ( although they don't really count from every single store) they are kinda like oricon charts of japan. Gaon is more on shipment instead of actual units sold like RIAJ in japan.

How badly is "badly"  thou? I mean like what ranking she's on the chart right now? And compared to # 1 - 2 - 3, how far away is she?
How about gross sales - including international sales & internet sales , etc.
I don't know, I just feel like the whole sales thing is just overrated nowadays, especially for some veteran like BoA.

she has sold 5k so far for Only one. 5k for a full length album in 5 days so far. BEAST's midnight sun mini album sold more than 15k in 5 days, SUJU also sold more than 20k(both versions) on their 3rd? or 4th? or 5th? week(overall they have sold more than 200k already). And to compare with Hurricane venus, HV sold 30 k in less than 4 days.

Currently she's number 4. Behind BEAST(1) BAP(2.  with 234 sold copies) and SUJU(3). That means she has sold less than 200 copies so far today. She has sold 79 copies(limited and normal) at 12:30 today. I don't how many she has sold so far now, but she's in 4th place.

wow, how can it be that only one sells that little compared to hurricane venus, especially that there are even now 2 editions available, also she should have gained some popularity (kpop star, other variety shows..) or is it that she sells a lot more digital? its confusing.
these physical sales are a joke.. i cant believe this number..

Korea isn't like Japan though.
Korea has such bad high rates of illegal downloads, artists don't make much money or sell as much as one would think. They depend a lot on their performances, tours, and international fans. Thankfully digital downloads are a bit more on the high as compared to physical, that's why they count so high for things like M! Countdown.
It's nothing against Kpop, BoA, or Korea, but I wasn't expecting thousands to be sold every day.
