Give us another solo full rock japan album Jae 🙂 and we assure u that it will sold 300+
Agreed! Let us beat SM precious TXXX (U can guess who). Last year their album sales 246,838. We can do better than their fans.
JJ lovers fighting!!!
I am so overwhelmed with this xD
I asked for his solo album yesterday in this comment section and then today we get a news of him releasing a solo album 😀 😀 I was really shocked!!!
Now all jj’s lovers are already ready for pre-ordering jj’s album..!!!! now we will buy his album and rock it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! goooo hehe
Woollim that has Infinite now merge with SM C & C. It piss me off. Back in 2011, just because of JJ, I supported them. Now their company merged with that $%X&^* subsidiary company. 9th August 2013, the Infinite members cried saying they dont understand why some fans are so upset and angry.. (you should know the underlying statement by fans, we are upset because we give you support and now your company merge with the one we hate) SM is giant now.. If CJes or other companies dont merge or have other strategy, JYJ and other artist will always at the mercy of the decision maker in SM… That why I feel we need to push sales to show our power..
Wow, and CJES only has like what, JYJ? And all that’s done without promotion. Congratz you all!
“this mini-album was released to please the high demand and the limited stock of I Mini-album. According to CJeS both albums are sold out.”
*tupid management company, blabbing the word sold-out, wonder what it did about it, by the end of the year it won’t be a surprise if Kim Jaejoong’s rank will just sink from the top10.
even thought that…its quite very amazing how jj sold over 200 despite cjes’s mistakes and with no promotions at all… 😀
Hope Jaejoong will personally look for a reliable partners for his next solo album, he doesn’t need gimmicks or dramatic publicity stunts, he just need competent people in logistics.
@kris @jj4ever
the chance to be No. 1 album > was deliberately not in the agenda. regretful Jaejoong missed the glory for himself. (damned the parallel marketing, lol! )
@maejae
I can still see TVXQ5 albums in our local mall’s record centers and I ask why they are still keeping stocks of these old releases, they say that inventory is still active, so they keep on replenishing the stocks, and offline stores are more attractive to general buyers than online. And all I can think is I/Y , I ordered 2 copies of “I” online but I want to buy “Y” offline , but the store manager said she has no idea there’s such an album, lol
Don’t say bad words to C-jes please . . . Fans may not be satisfied with how they handled JYJ but they were the only ones to stood up for the boys. . . . Please continue to support both CJES and JYJ and not cause fight over small things as how you see it 😦
No one is hating cjes, I think every JYJ fans appreciate what cjes has/had/have done for our boys until now but again if U see anyone criticizing that is because of its poor management.
I think cjes need to improve thats all…if the sold out happened to jyj upcoming group album i would personally go korea to cjes office and strangle someone
I do not see why we are not allowed to comment on Cjes incompetency which is very obvious.
Wowww…congrats CJes!!!
the fact that they are top 3 is amazinggg!!
Congratsss!! ^^♥
Congrat JJ…….
Congrat JS……
Congrats Jaejoong, Junsu and CJES! Such satisfaction to see them charting amongst groups that have the backing of powerful companies. Fans should be proud^^
Last time I read here in JYJ3, that ‘I’ n ‘Y’ were sold almost 300K, it was also from GAON, what happen then?
Why in this info, ‘I’ n ‘Y’ sold only 200K?
This is chart accounts for domestic (S.Korea) sales only.
JJ,JS, CJES is very amazing…… withou any promotion can get a good result like tat…… I very proud of you all….. JYJ fighting I will always support you all….. *^▁^**^▁^*♥♥♥♥♥
I don’t get why are ppl congratulating cjes when the cumulative combined sales are contributed exclusively from the boys, the boys AND their fans should receive sole credit in my opinion~
But I’m happy that they’re selling well despite the lack of promotion (in jae’s case none at all whatsoever). Glad to see fan’s support and hopefully gain new fans while they’re at it. Looking at this it’d be interesting to see how JYJ will fare when they do decide to release an album together. Sidenote that top spot for male artist is so well deserved, it’s refreshing to see CYP beating all the supposedly trendier idols.
I agree with you. The results are all solely Jaejoong and Junsu and their fans’ effort.
Congrats to JJ and JS and their fans!
I thinks it depends on individual, if you’re a Cjes fan or a Jaejoong or Junsu fan.
Artist without their fans will be nothing. <– Fact.
I think fans really show their support to the guys by buying their albums and supporting their activities.
Cjes is merely an agency which is supposed to do what their job is.
It is ridiculous to make them out like some kind of savior to JYJ.
So for me, it is really Jaejoong and Junsu and their fans' effort.
Congratulations to JJ & JS, reserving my congrats to C-JeS because both JS’s 1st album and JJ’s album are out of stock, they could be better than just rank 3 if they are diligently interested to be ranked.
This should show the world that CJES is a force to be reckoned with and the boys will continue to sale… Love it this is very encouraging.
If JYJ upcoming album stock out during sales are high i would strangle somebody…we want to show ppl how strong JYJ fandoms are…instead being dragged down like that…they better prepare 1million album…500k in korea and another half to distribute to Japan or something
Btw this list will soon be added gd sales…i heard he has 300k pre orders for his new album
What I can see from this data is:
– it is very competitive for male artist in Korea
– SM has a huge market share in Korea’s music industry, especially now it acquired Woolim. No wonder Korea media bows to SM. I’m afraid it will be very difficult ,if not impossible,to see JYJ in TV and Korea doesn’t seem to know /care what is ‘fair competition’ means.
– good job for Jaejoong and Junsu given the situation they are in. I believe their chart positions will shift because of GD’s successful release in Sept. Too bad that Jaejoong will not be able to catch up the chart but likely be overtaken by other artists because his album is ‘sold out’.
This is so impressive! Proud!
Jaejoong is amazing isn’t he? I think currently he is the best male solo artist in Korea (along with GD).
Cjes, next will be Yoochun album…
The first batch of Jaejoong “I” album (120K) were sold out only 2 weeks after its released. And Cjes reprinted only 20K more albums afterwards, which off course also out of stock the next week. Why they only print that much is beyond my understanding. Sigh….
Yeah, all 120,000 initial copies of Jaejoong “I” album selling out within two weeks. The additional 20,000 copies manufactured to cope with the high demand were similarly sold out. The repackaged Y, with all 50,000 initial pressings of the album selling out within 24 hours of sale.
They should printed more!!. I read that, instead of printed more albums, they refunded the money.
Go, JJ! Go Junsu!
