KARAddicted.01 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 @YOBI Ikr, I don't know if it was the background music being lower or them singing stronger, either way I really heard them clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VVVACCPLPNLY Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 i feel so late... i downloaded step asap, but only this week was i able to get my hands on their inki and mucore comebacks lol. kbs america and sbs america are like 1 week behind the korean ones so my copy of inki that says 9-24 is the comeback with date and step, and due to the hours of the store that sells the dvds, i couldn't get that until the 27th. so while their promotions are ending for you guys, they just started for me! so its kinda like i get 6 weeks of step. finally being usa kamilia pays off!

Solin Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I can't believe Step promotion is already over ! It was too short even if I knew from the start they would only promote for 3 weeks. But I can understand that they have to promote their new single in Japan too. Anyway...I hope they can make a comeback very soon like for the end of the year or maybe the beginning of next year and that it will be a longer promotion.

kimngocnguyen06 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) they actually about to sell 100K for a korean album, of course in japan we wouldn't be suprised but korean that amazing. Cong to the girls for actually doing that. I am a little disappointed about the digital sales, but I think that they made up for it, by buy the album Edited October 6, 2011 by kimngocnguyen06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red4summer Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 lupin, released in feb 2010, was kara best selling album which sold 64K in whole of 2010. in comparison, step sold 97K in sep 2011 alone. for digital sales (or popular/best selling song), lupin got 533M in 2010 while step received 120M in a month. though step still has 3 months to climb up the list but this is the gauge of where kara popularity is in korea. imo, nothing has changed.

radenoactive Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Chance of them to receive bonsang award for this year is pretty high. Up until now, the top total sales for the 3/4 year of 2011 is listed below. 1. SUJU: Mr. Simple 318,669 2. DBSK: KYHD 230,922 3. B2st: Fact and Fiction 135,160 4. Big Bang: 4th Mini 134,835 5. Kim Hyun Joong: Breakdown 114,586 6. CN Blue: First Step 109,054 7. Kara: Step: 97,667 8. SUJU: A-Cha: 97,210 9. 2PM: Hands Up 92,932 10. Big Bang: Special Edition 87,894 11. 2NE1: 2nd Mini Album 73,941 12. F(x): Pinochio 60,665 13. DBSK: KYHD repack 55,234 14. Infinite: Over the Top 54,149 15. FT Island: Return 51,056 The only big names that will be back during the end year promotion are only SNSD and Wonder Girls, so although if their sales are rocketed, Kara still in the top 10 contenders. And Kara has the highest sales among the girl groups for this year~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red4summer Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 for those who are unaware, 2 more music shows this week in mucore and inkigayo, but don't expect live performances. in addition, inki is going to announce the mutizen song for last week. i would say 50-50.

I have been trying to figure that out but I have had no luck thus far. Conflicting information just makes me confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MizuiroKaze13 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) The title song of the same title also achieved great results. "STEP" placed number two for September's Combined Digital Chart and number one on the September Downloads Chart with 1,719,950 downloads. Source In my opinion, I think Step is very well-received by the public^^ The downloads and album sales just prove it. And I'm so happy that KARA is finally reaching the 100k mark~ they even surpassed 2NE1's sales This is truly unexpected. Step daebak!

red4summer Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 ^ ranking is not important but the sales numbers are. so to me, it (120M) is still not high enough. anyway, forget what i said. imo today outfits are hot!
