literally what are people doing

I know I'm being biased with SUPERM. KPOP has a lot of good-looking and talented idol boy groups. I still am confused at how he's at 85, though.

"“Just when everyone tells you young people don’t listen to albums and they certainly don’t buy albums, a clever marketing team who knows how to appeal to a core fan base proves them wrong,” comments Russ Crupnick, managing partner at industry analysis firm MusicWatch. "

let's be fair, no one buys 20 albums to listen to them. like, come on. it's a fact that digital market is the boss these and high physical sales is not an indicator of "young people listening to albums", it's an indicator of their desire to support a group and unfortunately also how much companies can squeeze money out of them by making like 8 different versions of the same album

lmao my figure skating mutuals on twitter at first thought "jopping" was a word we made up ourselves
since it's too convenient for FS

 

[crazykuroneko]

We got our first sold out show

From the five first shows, one is almost sold out (Atlanta), two is above 80% sold (MSG is almost 90%),
the hardest is the one in Chicago because it has 20K capacity. Let's hope the rest will follow soon
