[TRANS] 110217 TVXQ’s Debut Album From 7 Years Ago Sees Sudden Increase In Sales.. Why?

TVXQ’s debut album ‘Hug’, which was released in 2004, is seeing a sudden increase in sales.

According to Hanteo Charts, TVXQ’s single ‘Hug’ ranked second on the real time charts on the 17th of February. This album was released on January, 2004 as TVXQ’s debut single and includes the songs ‘Hug’, ‘My Little Princess’ and ‘Oh Holy Night’, a song BoA collaborated in.

How is it that the album, which was released over 7 years ago, has ranked at the top of the charts?

Since their comeback as a duo in January, U-Know Yunho and Choikang Changmin have been actively approaching the public through various programs. As it has been a while since their last period of activity and as TVXQ had mostly been performing overseas before then, they haven’t had many opportunities to approach the public through variety programs like they are now.

It seems that TVXQ is planning to take this comeback as a new turning point for the group and hold activities for a long period of time while appearing on TV programs often. They have already appeared on various music programs, ‘Running Man’, ‘Strong Heart’ and ‘Happy Together’. By doing so, they’ve shown off charms that the public hadn’t seen much of before and have also talked of the scars they’ve received behind the extravagant facade of a star.

Though TVXQ already have a large fandom, their honest confessions on TV have brought in new fans. These new fans are probably curious of the birth of TVXQ, which would explain why ‘Hug’ has shot up on the album sales charts recently.

On the same day, the special edition of TVXQ’s new album ‘Why (Keep Your Head Down)” ranked alongside ‘Hug’ and proved that TVXQ’s popularity has not died down.

[TRANS] 101027 SM Withdraws Album Sales Prohibition Injunction Against JYJ… Why?

SM Entertainment has withdrawn its album sales prohibition injunction against JYJ (TVXQ’s YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu)’s first album ‘The Beginning’.

On the 12th of this month, SM filed for an album sales prohibition injunction against JYJ’s first global album ‘The Beginning’ as well as an exclusive contract suspension injunction against the contract between JYJ and CJeS. On the 21st, SM Entertainment decided to withdraw only the part of the injunction regarding the prohibition on album sales.

SM revealed the reason behind this decision by stating, “We have withdrawn the lawsuit after deciding that an album sales prohibition injunction was impractical as JYJ have already released the album.”

JYJ’s side has also confirmed this stating, “SM Entertainment filed an album sales prohibition injunction against Warner Music Korea, the company in charge of distributing JYJ’s albums, on October 12th, and withdrew the aforementioned lawsuit on the 21st through the Seoul District Courts. Warner Music Korea received an official document regarding this on the 22nd.”

However, SM will still initiate a head on confrontation with the exclusive contract suspension injunction directed at JYJ and CJeS. SM has stated that as the verdict has not been made on the lawsuit between SM and JYJ, a contract signed between the trio and CJeS would be considered a dual-contract.

[TRANS] 101015 JYJ ‘Faceless Singers With Explosive Album Sales’

SM Entertainment has filed an exclusive contract suspension and album sales prohibition injunction to the Seoul District Courts on the 8th against JYJ.

Also, the ‘Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Arts Industry’ sent an official notice to KBS, MBC, SBS, cable TV companies, and album and online music distribution companies that says to refrain from aiding JYJ in their activities.

Contrary to this, the viewers’ thread of music program ‘Music Bank’ was hit with over 1000 new posts in two days.

The majority of the titles and content of theses posts called for JYJ’s appearance on ‘Music Bank’.

JYJ released their album ‘The Beginning’ on the 14th and recorded 220,000 pre-orders for their normal edition album and 300,000 pre-orders for their special edition album that will be released on the 18th. Considering the fact that an album is considered a hit in Korea if album sales surpass 100,000 copies, and that the most someone has sold recently was just over 200,000 copies, it is evident that JYJ’s album sales are superior compared to that of other singers.

Many are curious to see if JYJ, who have blown life into the Korean album market for the first time in a couple of years, will become ‘faceless singers’ or if they will appear on next week’s ‘Music Bank’ and change the fans’ requests into words of thanks.

[NEWS] 101013 SM Entertainment Files Injunction Against Sale of JYJ’s "The Beginning" Album

With JYJ’s Jaejoong, Yuchun, and Junsu preparing to release their first official album, “The Beginning,” a law firm representative has just revealed that SM Entertainment filed an injunction against the trio, prohibiting the sale of the album.

The sale of JYJ’s first album is now left entirely in the hands of the court. However, since it will take a considerable amount of time before a decision is made, it’s highly likely that the album will be released onto the market first.

The reason behind SM Entertainment’s restraining order is said to be found in the problems still remaining in their contracts. It has already been over a year since the three filed a lawsuit against SME and began walking a separate path on their own.

“The Beginning” is to be distributed by Warner Music Korea. Stay tuned for updates on this breaking story.

[NEWS] JYJ Causes Explosive OST Album Sales

TTVXQ’s JYJ have been earning explosive offline album sales for KBS 2TV’s “Sungkyunkwan Scandal‘ OST! The trio have contributed some songs to the soundtrack, which makes the success of the OST a reflection of JYJ’s success, particularly since this is their first-ever release in Korea.

The OST was released on September 16th, and according to statistics revealed by Warner Music Korea, it has sold an astonishing 80,000 copies up until the 28th. An additional 30,000 orders have been brought in, stimulating a second round of productions.

Representatives of Warner Music Korea stated on the 29th, “It hasn’t even been two weeks since the drama’s OST was released, and already they’ve achieved 110,000 copies. It’s certainly an exceptional case, but this is also confirmation that the three members are still receiving much love from their fans.”

They continued, “We believe that the support of Junsu and Jaejoong for Yuchun’s official acting debut is what brought in such attention.”

The trio is set to release a new album and begin their activities for the upcoming month of October.

[TRANS] 100926 “SungKyunKwan Scandal” OST Sales May Be Greater Than “Boys Over Flowers”

as an overall winner.

Released on the 16th, because the “SungKyunKwan Scandal” OST included the collaboration song “Chajatta” sung by the TVXQ trio, Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu who haven’t been active in mainland Korea, and Jaejoong and Junsu’s solo songs, the value of the OST album increased twofold.

Although the album was released two weeks after the drama first aired, the offline album rankings have had an evidently strong momentum, having 12 858 copies sold until the 24th.

It is rarely seen of a drama OST being able to make it to the combined charts, but the “SungKyunKwan Scandal” OST earned first place on daily charts 3 out of the 9 days it was released. On the 16th and 17th when it was first released, it took first place on the daily charts, and although it was placed 2nd all the way through until the 24th, it pushed through to first place. Of course, an OST capable of holding onto the first position is a great achievement.

OST albums are placed first on the annual chart rankings if it’s sales reach over 20 000, becoming an album that has a great impact towards the market. Being able to achieve large sales that reach over 10 000 in merely a week, “SungKyunKwan Scandal” has a great probability of beating the “Boys Over Flower” sales of 53 146.

[NEWS] 100922 Arashi and AKB48 help set a new record for singles sales

J-pop idol groups, Arashi and AKB48, have help set a new record in singles sales according to Oricon.

For the 9/6 weekly rankings, this year’s total (dating from 2009.12.28-2010.8/29) has exceeded 34,087,000,000 yen. It’s been a whole five years since the fiscal year numbers have been surpassed. This surge was due in large part to Arashi’s “Troublemaker” (ranked no.1 during the week of 9/6 and sold 696,000 copies) and AKB48’s “Ponytail and chou-chou” (ranked no.3 and sold 630,000 copies).

When looking at the top 10 ranking artists, these two groups’ sales take up more than half of the total. Arashi took three spots: 1st with “Troublemaker”, 2nd with ”Monster” (692,000 copies), and 5th with “To be free” (507,000 copies). AKB48 also took three spots: “Ponytail and chou-chou” in 3rd, 4th with “Heavy Rotation” (592,000 copies), and 7th with “Sakura no Shiori” (385,000 copies).

Over the course of the past couple of years, music DVD sales have had a firm holding as well, with a 139.9% markup that is expected to continue for some time. Arashi’s “ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5×10” was #1 and sold 740,000 copies, while TOHOSHINKI’s “TOHOSHINKI VIDEO CLIP COLLECTION –THE ONE-“ ranked 2nd and sold 172,000 copies. Eight out of the ten spots were taken by male artists.

Tohoshinki's Xiah Junsu's first solo single in Japan has reached the pre-order sales of 3 billion Won!
His solo single will be released in Japan on May 26. Xiah Junsu's side has expressed, "there have been 160 000 pre-ordered copies in Japan already. CD's have 75 000 copies, DVD's including the special edition copy has 85 000 copies".

Looking at it through the amount of money, it has an approximately 3 billion Won value, making Xiah Junsu's popularity unable to be defeated!

What makes it particular is that this will be Xiah Junsu's first solo single after his groups' suspension of activities and before his activities as a unit, which attracts more attention from Japanese fans.

On May 2, his single's PV was released and also received a lot of attention, with the number of views increasing tremendously online, once again proving Xiah Junsu's immense popularity.

Included in the solo is the song "Kanashimi No Yukue", which will be the theme song for TBS drama "Love Letter, After 5 Years" set to air on May 26.

Involved in the lawsuit conflict with SM, Tohoshinki members Xiah Junsu, Hero Jaejoong, and Micky Yoochun will hold Dome fan-meetings in Tokyo and Osaka in June.
