Incredible how nct just took over and dream being the first one to hit 2M sales and still the best selling groups from sm. You will always be famous my boys🌱
and people say nct is not popular and succesful. the first group to hit 2 millions and the only one to hit 4 million. haters just to Open their eyes. i was impresive by neos while watching this video. and h.o.t still be in top after that many years, icons.
I find it incredible to see how 'We Hate All Kinds Of Violence' and 'Wolf and Sheep' remained in the top 2 from 1997 until March 2021. Simply... 😳 I think I'll go check out H.O.T's discography.
H.O.T. still being TOP 20 till this day is truly ICONIC. Logically speaking more people used to buy physical albums, but still ! NCT my boys ans Aespa my girlies ! So proud of them ! Also EXO first to get past a H.O.T Album ! ^-^
That's true that in those days people needed those albums to play them, but at the same time, it was mostly Korea. SM have not entered Japan's market yet, did it with Boa and TVXQ. Also, I assume, barely if any international buyers. No multiple versions and no photocards as well. TVXQ up until Mirotic never had multiple versions either. I think they did have a few photocards... not sure. Shinee did not have many versions (or interesting versions) of the albums their entire career as 5. Had photocards, though. Now Exo, NCT are an entirely different story. Member versions and stuff, so many members. Having Chinese members also helps a lot with sales, because China be crazy for their faves. So yeah. If NCT had 1 version of every album and that version was also a jewelcase, the stats would be slightly different. That said, Dream and Aespa are still probably the most popular current groups SM has.
@rin55 yes also to mention that Girl's Generation started the whole thing with photocards. Maybe they had other inclusions back then. But NCT and EXO do well especially because of inclusions and multiple versions ! So do ither groups but speaking SME these 2 and æspa have the best sales regarding that. It reminded me of when my dad said "selling albums is not going to work that well anymore". He doesn't really know how kpop albums work, so he thougth of albums overall.
💚💚💚💚 NCT with 12 of the top 20 best selling albums in SM history. 👏👏👏 I often see comments touting EXO still is, or aespa is now, SM's biggest money maker... like, bruh. 😑🤦♀️ The way people overlook NCT's contribution to SM (and the industry in general) is wild to me.
I understand if you excluding Riize & NCT Wish that still new (bcuz your data only until the release of ISTJ, Riize & Wish debut after that album realeased) BUT You include solo album of Yoon Sang that only several years in SM Ent and excluding SUPER JUNIOR, SHINEE, F(X), RED VELVET AND WAYV that are literally BIG NAMES in SM WTH???!!!

NCT DREAM IS THE FUTURE OF SM. LITERALLY. 4M WITH ONE SINGLE ALBUM???? NO ONE DID IT LIKE THEM
I find it incredible to see how 'We Hate All Kinds Of Violence' and 'Wolf and Sheep' remained in the top 2 from 1997 until March 2021. Simply... 😳
