Ruddager 07/09/20 7:29:55 AM #465:	Touch posted... Surprisingly, More & More has become the best selling girl group album of all time http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=&termGbn=month# Previous to this, no other girl group album sold more than 500k but Twice and IZONE did it both in the same month. Congrats to both groups! It was pretty expected I'd say. IZONE basically ignited an all out sales war between fans of the top girl groups in April 2019 when they took down Twice's long standing first week record (it had stood for nearly 2 years up to that point) which lit a fire under Twice and BP fans asses leading to both groups breaking that new record 2 weeks later when they both released their albums (releasing them on the same day also drove things higher due to the direct competition), then Twice increased it again later that year. Then IZONE came back from the forced hiatus and more than doubled the previous first week record (which they still hold and increased again with their latest album) as well as immediately toppling the overall sales record (which Twice had finally just barely taken from SNSD 2 months prior after like 3+ years of sales trickling in little by little for their TCL1 album from 2016) which motivated Twice's fans to push even harder this time. It also helped that this was the first time since Cheer Up that there was more than 3-3.5 months between Twice's Korean releases which gave fans time to save up more money and hit the record (at least for now, IZONE's album is close behind and still moving units pretty well due to initial stock/shipping issues and BP is always lurking). BP was looking like a lock to smash all these records in September (their fans have literally been actively fundraising money for their next album for 14 months at this point, there was 300k+ albums worth from China alone last I saw) but YG stealth dropping a physical single for How You Like That (and likely the 2nd pre release single too) could kill that since their fans now have to split that money between 3 releases. But they will likely also break the 500k mark with one of them <cite>Ruddager posted [p:941876650] in itz a K-po...
