BLACKPINK makes history; 589k albums sold on first day

[mister max 18,480]

Today was the physical release of BLACKPINK's THE ALBUM in South Korea and well  Let's just say that every BLACKPINK release comes with some records being broken. These sales were reported by Hanteo, a korean site which tracks the deliveries of albums and the transactions being made in stores (aka its reliable asf). It ended up selling 589,310copies. Take a look at the records they broke:

4th highest 1st day of sales of all time (male and female artists)

Fastest Korean girl group album to have sold 100k, 300k, and 500k copies

Highest 1st day of sales for a girlgroup of all time

Highest 1st week (!) of sales for a girlgroup of all time (this one takes me out  )

Eligible for 2x platinum 

It's on it's way to sell 1 MILLION copies in korea, a feat usually only male artists are capable of, and I'm so proud of them  and the promo is only just getting started so we're in for a ride!

Spoiler

Their album is predicted to go #2 on the billboard 200 chart despite estimated pure sales of 100k. If you're from the US and you want to help them get their first #1 album, please stream the album and/or buy the album/song  every stream/sale counts and will be appreciated

Yay! Well-deserved!!

After the album it became clear to me that they should just be releasing singles. I'm glad it was a success for them tho, they deserve it!

[SLAYing 2,996]

I'd still say this...Sour Candy should be a Single.. Its about time it gets the treatment it truly deserves!

Sour candy is in their album right? Does that mean Gaga made coins from it as well?
