Twice have done the unthinkable for a girl group by selling 6 million albums in their first 4 years.

Insanely impressive yes no matter what era you are in.

BUT.....

Could they have done this if their first four years were 2007 to 2010?

I ask this cause everyone seems to now refer to Twice as the greatest most legendary girl group of all time. But come on now. Twice debuted at the perfect time. I'm not taking anything away from them as idols. Their catchy music, visuals, likeable personalities and Big 3 privilege all played a part in their success.

But everyone knows without WonSoKa bringing girl groups back to the fold then nobody would be getting paid.

So let's just calm down a tad on saying Twice is the #1 girl group in kpop history.

Hard to say as physicals did rise all around in 3rd generation so even if you give Twice the same status then as what they had now their sales would likely be lower and therefore make it harder for them to reach 6 million within that time frame but with decent sales and a ton of comebacks they could potentially.

The physical market is bigger, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they're the best selling girl group. Let's reverse this situation on 2nd gen girl groups and ask if they could sell as many digital records in today's environment.

Well they'd definitely have way better digital downloads because the prices were lower than today. However, I believe they'd still do great in physical just a smaller number

Maybe something like it
The physical market in Korea was definitely smaller but the physical market in Japan might have made up for it. No gg today has been able been able to touch Kara and Soshi's Jsales + Twice would have had the benefit of entering the market a lot sooner and maintaining both territories with more comebacks.

If you put them back in the 2007-2011 era with the same set of hits and comebacks, they'd still have a crazy amount of sales and potentially outpace ggs of the time out of sheer persistence

that's an intresting thought. I do think they would have similar sales since Japan would still be crazy over them. Do I think they would be as huge in Korea tho? idk. Wonder Girls and SNSD were just so big in Korea that it's difficult to see it any other way
