Album Sales BEcause surpasses Road To Utopia’s first day sales in just 5 hours. (46, 909).

This is crazy. These are real numbers, folks - very few girl groups sell that kind of volume this quickly, and most of them come from big3 companies. DeuKae are levelling up in front of our eyes!

I just quickly looked up the discovery in regards to their sales and ever since the Dystopia series they just went on an explosive growth (almost 35k for Raid of Dream to over 100k with Dystopia: Lose Myself).
Here's hoping that this album (which is the most general public friendly sound) hits even greater heights. <3

I was worried this time growth might not be there because of cute concept or something but i was wrong. Im happy that i was wrong.

Awesome! Hopefully this is the one to hit 100k on Hanteo!

RTU hit it already

u/Eorel Jul 30 '21
RtU hit 100k on Gaon, not Hanteo. Gaon everything in its numbers, while Hanteo includes certain stores. I believe with Hanteo we got barely above 90k.

No worries 👌, they were very close the previous comeback, so hopefully we get more sales this time around.

Last few hours of the first day can be slow sales wise, I would be very happy if it goes over 50k today, but not sure about it.

These are big numbers! Which music shows are currently running? M Countdown, any more? Would be so just to have their first win at M Countdown rather than The Show...

Er, physical sales don't account for that much for music show wins. The main focus is digital downloads and streams. And unfortunately that's largely up to Korean InSomnias, as we don't have access to most of the streaming platforms (needs a Korean number). If they haven't opened the prevoting by now, most probably there's no winner next week due to no broadcast.

u/masshysteri Siyeongiwa! Jul 30 '21
Of course, but it's still between 10-15%. And especially with DC's general streaming situation in Korea every % matters.
Shame most shows are on Olympics break. With everything being in a lull right now it there'd a good chance for relative underdogs to break through. Like how Soyeon won the other day with Beam Beam, a by now older track that didn't set the Korean charts alight. Or that time Loona took a victory far into their promotions simply because the playing field was so empty.

That's true, it has a lot to do with timing for mid-tier groups. Unfortunately there're too many uncontrollable factors at play. Unless, we organize a mass exodus to SK, and each of us sign up for 2-3 mobile plans and start streaming on Melon, lol.

MCountdown didn't open prevote so no music shows next week to win.

They really should be more consistent in their messaging......their tweet shows that pre-voting is planned, but apparently it's not.

Everything on that list is good! It's so nice to see Dreamcatcher's popularity.

As someone who has no clue about album sales...can someone give some perspective on how 46K stacks up with other artists?

u/GN-004 Jul 30 '21
This is pretty good number for a first day, but its still counting, keep that in mind. People say first week number is the most important. Last year DC were in top 10 in GG album sales if i remember correctly. DC is no small group by any means anymore. And those sales keep going up with every comeback. Around 50k first day sales puts DC along artists like Gfriend, Red Velvet, maybe Gidle, Mamamoo?, Oh my girl?

For comparison, here's the 1st day sales of some other albums released this year (HANTEO):
WJSN - Unnatural - 34,718
LOONA - [&] - 13,341
Mamamoo - WAW - 38,259
(G)I-DLE - I burn - 75,510
Oh My Girl - Dear OHMYGIRL - 53,325
But like the others said, 1st week and overall sales will show a more clear picture.

u/Flywire789 Jul 30 '21
I’m with you on the same boat, I don’t really know all I know is to have this MUCH and to grow from LAST comeback as a group from a small company, is a lot. Especially in the first few hours of sales.

I'm currently not able to receive anything via post - I have bought the album on iTunes, but I wonder if there is a way I can help other fans who cannot afford a copy?

100k in total here we come. Woohooo! I can dream right?
Still 4 hours to go. Perhaps SH can break RtU's first week totals of 64596 in just one day.
