But still, we all know GUILTY is going to sell pretty well in the end.
Currently male bands/groups are more likely to sell more than females. In the end this album was restricted to a niche. GUILTY is more of a mature/adult themed album which might not appeal to teens.

Also the lack of purely pop songs probably turned off a lot of fans. There were only like two or three. So I guess it's doing pretty well. Probably it'll end selling a little less than Secret, which was more mainstream imo.
