Ever since BLACKPINK‘s Lisa released her first solo album “LALISA” in September 2021, YG Plus has only recorded pre-order sales on the Gaon chart. The rest of the discs produced after the pre-order period that were sent to stores were not recorded.
The Gaon Chart is a chart of the best-selling albums in South Korea. It has officially existed since the beginning of 2010 and presents a weekly list of the best-selling albums and singles.
For an album to be listed on Gaon, the company must submit a sales report. However, it is believed that YG Plus did not submit Lisa’s album report for the past 6 months, leading to “LALISA” being listed with zero sales on Gaon as of January 2022.
Look at the difference. Other album always have Gaon number higher than hanteo. But, what happened on lalisa album? There's no number update on Gaon, but there's a thousands album sales on Hanteo chart
