They always have. The reason they use Genie instead of MelOn is because the latter doesn't filter their streams, meaning there's a lot of bot-generated plays.

does the total album sales include singles?

Yes. There's a whole section for it.

By 2025 comeback, they will have seven albums over ten million eas and I am sure next comeback will set new album sales record in kpop.. It will become their eight tenth million seller.

And if they release another five albums till 2029. And move on in their 30s, they still wouldve moved 200 million units in their career.... Insane career. Despite the racism they face from western music fans on forums and twitter. Asian fan base is present and future. Smart western artists are focusing on asia.

@MJD Can you please explain how they sold 1.2 million albums in South/Latin America without having any sales in these countries?

Seems very strange.

Insane how Tear wasn't even past 10M when this article was updated and now it's past 11 million (I used updated physicals from the Circle chart).

They have sold over 20 million plus without pure sales updates. Wonder what their actual total is. If next yr cb is smash..they might reach 150 million plus by 2026 end

When they eventually get around to updating BTS, the pure sales jump will add an additional 2M units.

How can I see streams or plays in Genie, AWA and QQ?

Wtf, they're sold has been slayed by Olivia Rodrigo.
