![]() ![]() dont think so, i think it was more of an example ,seeing as how japan the second biggest music market in the world, most of her asian sales would have to come from japan.

According to Oricon all of her albums combined (The Fame, The Fame Monster, Remixes) sold approximately 600.000 copies, but that's just Oricon. |

South Korea is also a economic powerhouse in terms of CD sales, so nowadays Asian sales are mostly equal to Japan and Korea + China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The rest of Asia makes a smaller percentage. The Asian market is difficult to conquer from outside (not so hard if you are a Japanese/Korean/Chinese artist) but when you do it, the revenue is huge. |

I was always under the impression that piracy was very high in S. Korea since the best selling album of the year sells about 300K copies.

i think that if artists makes good music it doesnt stop people from buying even though illegal dl are strong they often promote the artist . i just think korean music in south korea those past few years isnt as good as before , also i notice compare to japan artist dont have much extra " gifts " its always a poster that come with the first press nothing extraordinary . i think if korean company start copying avex and do lucky do , small concert or interview in the street or shop and start giving better gift albums would sell way better ![]() i also notice korean artist tend to do a lot of repackaging of their album months later with extra tracks or new cover or adding postal card but people already bought the cds it doesnt really help pushing the sale higher an other things some atist produce mini albums ( cf bi rain and lee jung hyun for exemple ) and than put all those song in a full album ...i dont think its very smart sell wise because fans tend to expect full new albums not only a new mini album combine with the old one to make a full album ( dont missunderstand i m the first to rush as soon as first press albums come out )

Actually, I think I read somewhere that the Koreans love to download and that legal downloads for both singles and albums is relatively high, but don't quote me on that.

I recently read in Billboard that Japan has surpassed the US in physical sales, though the US is naturally ahead of Japan in digital sales. That's hard to measure though, since actual sales aren't as readily available in the US as they are in Japan, and may be skewed because the release patterns are very different.

The US sold 2 million physical singles, Japan 50 million. (This number isn't all that surprising since physical singles are pretty much dead in the US.) Japan sold 165 million albums, the US 385 million. (This number isn't all that surprising either, since Japan only has half the amount of inhabitants. I'm not sure whether the US one counts digital sales or not ...) Also interesting is that in Japan, MORE dvds are sold than in the US. And not just by comparison of country size, in total, which I think is pretty amazing. Also of note : The retail value of everything sold in the US is 5.9 billion. In Japan, it's 5.1 billion. Now that is, I think, a tiny gap for a country with just half the amount of inhabitans o.O. Anyway, that's my ramblings XD |

I'm not so sure about the second thing. I think it was all domestic info, but like I said, I'm not sure.

There's a huge difference between the strategies in the US and japan though, In the us the companies seem to have been more than happy to abandon the physical format whereas in japan they try to make it more attractive by adding DVDs, extras (gifts, posters etc) and releasing limited editions. |
