Well, with the competition (like four best albums or so) I don't think they thought they were getting #1 anyway.

I was referring to 2NE1's Japanese mini album as an example (which is why I put Japanese in parenthesis next to it). All of the songs on their Japanese mini album with the exception of one song ended up on their full Japanese album.
Where they were released doesn't really matter. I wouldn't expect their management to really follow 'standard Japanese practices' anyway.
