gee, genie, hoot, japan, korea, oh, run devil run, snsd, tell me your wish
Another year, another milestone achievement as SNSD achieves mammoth sales in Korea and Japan.
Hanteo, a Korean based record sales research site, recently revealed that SNSD has sold over 300,000 copies of their released albums in this year alone. This makes them the first idol group in over two years to achieve such a feat, the last being DBSK in 2008 with their album “Spell – Mirotic”.
To break it all down, the total numbers of their albums sold are as follows:
“Oh!” – 123,500 copies
“Hoot” – 93,400 copies
“Run Devil Run (Repackaged album of Oh!)” – 56,900 copies
“Tell Me Your Wish” and “Gee” – combined total of over 5,500 copies
But that’s not all. In Japan, having only debut in September, and with their singles “Genie” and “Gee” along with the multitude of Korean albums available for sale to the Japanese populace, SNSD has raked in over 12 billion WON (1 United States Dollar = 1,154.65 Korean Republic Won) in sales.
And there’s more! According to Japan’s Sankei Sport newspaper, KARA and SNSD were ranked first and second respectively, for album sales by new artists on “Oricon’s 43rd Annual Rankings, 2010”.
Well there you have it… Korean money should just have Soshi printed on them.

CONGRATS’ to our extremely hardworking 9 ladies 😀 😀 😀 !!!!! The South Korean Stock Exchange should just list SNSD as a blue-chip stock option and start selling shares to investors. Everyone knows that they are certainly a viable money-making enterprise for South Korea 🙂 😀 😀 !!!! SNSD HWAITING !!!!
“SNSD has sold over 300,000 copies of every one of their albums in this year alone.” I don’t want to nitpick on your writing or anything, but from the way that sentence was written, it sounds like they sold 300k of each and every one of their albums this year. But your breakdown explained that the 300k is achieved through a combined total of all of their selling albums. Good job on your first post though.
Fixed. Thank you 🙂
The girls had painfully strived hard for all these years and these are the rewards they had reaped by investing sweat, blood and thousands of hours of training. Good job! May your generation last forever!
AigooChingoo
SNSD’s physical album sales in japan are still higher than the other girl group. Its just they sell less through downloaded songs, unlike in Korea where they dominate both physical album and digital sales.
Well done on your first post.
i almost feel bad about pirating their music
WOW…..12 billion won……they deserved it…..
SNSD, fighting!! ^^
i agree. they srsly do deserve it :]
First post! Way to go!!
And…wow…that’s a B-I-G number lol. Congrats to our girls 😉
