[NEWS] Other versions of JYJ’s album “In Heaven” might not have been counted on Oricon chart except Red & Black versions

It was reported that there is a big possibility that the amount sold of JYJ’s album “In Heaven” on Oricon Album Ranking chart was counted separated with the real amount of albums sold at CD shops. It might be possible that the amount sold is much more during the 2 weeks, and this issue has been gathering attention. Their album has been ranked 8th after 2 weeks, and this is a jump from the rank and amount sold compared to their last work. However, when we do comparison, there’s a possibility that some packages of the album weren’t counted. The real amount sold of the album might has been much greater.

■ From being excluded from Oricon to a new work after half a year
It was recorded that JYJ’s “In Heaven” ranked 11th on Oricon chart with the initial sale amount of 7,000 copies. The album has been making records on different online stores, ranking number 1 for the amount of orders received, thus this modest result makes their fans doubt about the result.

One issue that has caught attention is that JYJ’s DVD that was released in March wasn’t counted on Oricon chart because it was “related to the revitalization of the market.” Because of that reason, there have been doubts that the album this time would also not be counted on the chart.

■ A jump of rank and amount sold from the first week
After 2 weeks, in addition to the Red, Blue and Brown versions, the Black version of the album was also released. For that reason, the album jumped from 11th place to 8th place. The total amount of album sold also jumped from 7,000 copies to 19,000 copies. However, with that result, fans started to complain that “the amount of album sold should have been more than that.”

■ Only 2 of the 4 versions were counted?
Is JYJ’s album really selling well? When we compare the data from Oricon, a surprising truth comes to surface.

Looking up the data of “In Heaven” on Oricon’s paid site “You Taiju”, among the 4 versions of the album, only 2 versions are registered. The 2 versions that are registered are Red(AGMK10001*SCM, released on 9/23) and Black(AMGK10001B*SCM, released on 10/5).

From that result, there’s a possibility that only Red version of the album was counted for the first week, and only the Red & Black versions were counted for the second week. In other words, this means that there’s a possibility that the Blue and Brown versions weren’t counted on Oricon chart at all.

Because the amount sold of other 2 versions wasn’t covered, the result on Oricon chart is different from the real amount sold at stores. We’ve asked this question before last week, but what is the real amount of JYJ’s album sold?
