>Meanwhile in an adjacent numberfag field
OH NO NO NO NO, WHAT WENT WRONG?!
>Since the act’s debut, MAMAMOO has always been one of the best-selling girl groups of the third generation.
>Their mini-album, WAW, for example, is just a few thousand copies away from reaching 100,000 sales on the Hanteo chart after selling 38,259 copies on its first day of release.
>...
>Given that WAW was released just three months ago and fans have been highly anticipating the group’s first OT4 album since Wheein left RBW, fans were expecting I Say MAMAMOO: The Best to reach similarly impressive heights.
>In fact, comeback goal guides made by MooMoos told fans to aim to reach 50,000 sales on day one.
>...
>The real first-day figure, however, ended up being far from that. At the end of the tracking day on September 15, I Say MAMAMOO: The Best recorded a final first-day sales total of just 6,981 copies.
>...
>Now, fans are left confused about why sales dipped so low—especially considering MAMAMOO’s performance on other platforms is even better than before.
>For example, “Where Are We Now” (the title track of WAW) took around 10 hours to reach 1 million views on YouTube. “Mumumumuch,” on the other hand, surpassed 1 million views in less than 8 hours.
(note: goes to show how impressive was Gura's Reflect too)

Now for the reason
>While fans can only speculate for now, one big clue comes from Korean music stores. On Yes24, Hottracks, Bizent, Music Korea, and Synnara, I Say MAMAMOO is currently sold out.
>This seems to imply that RBW failed to print enough copies of the album to satisfy demand.

Of course KPop is some other universe with respect both to size and the extent they go for numberfaggotry but this is an interesting view of how small the vtubing world is and how much space it has to grow
