SNSD Surpasses 100,000 Sales Mark In Just 2 Days

       On June 1st, the ladies of SNSD released their first full-length Japanese album and after the first day, the album topped the Oricon daily albums chart by selling 73,583 units. Now, with the second day of sales tallied it’s been revealed that the girls have broken the 100,000 sales mark threshold!
       With a second day sales figure of 48,428 units the girls have officially sold a total of 122,011 units! If you can recall, back in November, popular group KARA released their album, “Girl’s Talk” and it sold a total of 107,000 units it’s first week, marking that monumental feat as the first album by a non-Japanese Asian girl group in Japan in 6 years and 9 months to sell more than 100,000 album copies in its first week. Now, SNSD has surpassed KARA’s first week tremendous sales figure in just two days.
        Quite an accomplishment, the ladies of SNSD are well on their way to first place on the Oricon Weekly album chart ranking.
