EXO dominates first-week physical album sales since 2008 + BTS, Big Bang, Seventeen, SNSD and more on the list

EXO isn\'t dominating in just overall album sales - they\'re also dominating first-week sales!

In a list of all first-week sales compiled since January 1st, 2008, EXO took up 9 of the top 10 places, and all 5 of the top 5. They\'ve broken their own record by selling more than 300,000 in the first week with \'

EX\'ACT\', and they\'re also the only group to have sold more than 200,000 in the first week (they have 3 albums that did this), and one of the 3 that sold more than 100,000 in the first week.

BTS is the only group that\'s not from a big label that has sold more than 100,000 in the first week, and TVXQ\'s \'Mirotic\' is also notable as it sold more than 100,000 even in 2008. Seventeen is the only rookie group to have made it in the list (and in top 15, no less!), while Girls\' Generation and f(x) are the only females on the list that sold more than 50,000 in the first week. Taemin, Kim Hyun Joong, Jaejoong, G-Dragon, Junsu, Taeyeon, and Jay Park are the only soloists on the list, and Super Junior\'s subunit D&E also makes their name known.

you know what the best part is? congrats to my faves, exo, bts, and seventeen for topping this chart! but my fave thing about it is the ranking my forever kpop gods, DB5K, got.  sure, it might not #1, but think about how far kpop has come SINCE 2008, when the hallyu wave hadn\'t really even begun yet. there are now more kpop fans than ever, so OBVIOUSLY sales are going to be so much higher than 8 years ago.  Yet, DBSK was still able to achieve sales of more than 100K back then.  If that\'s not legendary status, I don\'t know what is.

exo dominates everything. im so happy my boys top the list as always but more than happy to see my first love suju still have the charisma as ever. proud of bts as well. my love taeyeon is included alongside with shinee,tvxq and shinee makes me really smile.

I\'M SO PROUD OF ESPECIALLY SEVENTEEN & VIXX. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST IN MY HEART!! AND HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO EXO~~ I REALLY ENJOY THEIR COMEBACK ^^

its really sad how there\'s only 4 girl group/female solos on here.... snsd has 3/4 of those but i expected more of their albums because they are so popular

Let\'s see exo in 5 years lol. They already have no respect from general public.

Uri SEVENTEEN. I\'m proud. I believe they will rise and be the greatest in this Kpop world. Amen \(>0
