The Big Bang album is already out… it came out on the 28th. The English is horrible, but it’s fun for fans.

DBSK will win...why?  They’ve been around longer.

I really hope shinee diesssss out

As much as I love Big Bang,
they will not be as successful
as THSK over in Japan. It took THSK
a while to get their name recognized in Japan.
But good luck to them!!

PS.—Oppa, you owe me a CD! Get me the new
THSK’s Japanese album <3 Thanks! haha ;D

I love Big Bang but pls stop making English album! I could hardly understand what they’re singing.

^i totally agree with you on every point
yay can’t wait to check out DBSK’s new single!!

SHINee??? wtf.

DBSK has it all the way. No doubt about it.

i REALLY dont like comparing them....
they have DIFFERENT music styles…
and er.. if DBSK sang in English… they would be worse the BigBang.. no offence. i love DBSK… but Mickey’s solo “My Girlfriend” was ....not english.. and he’s actually lived in US before..

HAHA. people actually voted for SHINee. xDDDDDDD
but DBSK is so much more popular than big bang, but i do love big bang more. i have to admit, DBSK will do much better.

tohoshinki’s japanese singles don’t sell so well in korea, i think those tend to sell somewhere in the 20-25k range? however, i’m expecting to see high sales when they release their korean album this fall.

but anyway, i’m more excited for their new japanese single. the preview sounds amazing. i hope they can break another record with this one.

Big Bang = <3<3<3
But btw them both, I think it’s given that DBSK will be the most successful. Doesn’t mean that Big Bang won’t sell a lot though, =P

i like both big bang and DBSK! i can’t choose...but SHINee? i don’t know…

HPDANM: BoA has had many #1 weekly albums, but only one of her single (Do The Motion) topped the weekly chart.

her album sales are way higher than tohoshinki’s.

@tekk...oh...that’s what I was thinking after posting it, too...but doesn’t Oricon Chart only count the singles?…

@swt_turtle...age doesn’t really matter...if they have exceeding talents age would never matter, even though there are fresh ones that comes out it doesn’t guarantee that just because they’re younger they would surpass their sunbaes...and because there’s DBSK, especially it’s in their own company, new ones will actually suffer great pressure...Like DBSK to H.O.T....I doubt they didn’t feel pressure when they debuted and started to get popular and recognize...There’s always H.O.T. beside them...So will the new groups, there will always be their sunbaes (great ones) beside them…

taeyang and gdragon are the only ones that can speak english aight.
dbsk? ew i dont see what girls see in them? i personally dont like the girly gay look that alot of this kpop boybands have. i like them hood looking ones lol haha ok not hood but you know what i mean i like them urban/hip hopish kpop stars.

HPDANM: Oricon has seperate charts for albums and singles.
One artist/group will be #1 on the single chart, while another artist/group will take the top spot on the album chart.

the Oricon International chart (the one BB is on) works the same way.

DBSK maybe the oldest group compared to the two but Big bang is still the same age and they aren’t that new...DBSK will be at the top for a while or at least for couple of more years. Big Bang i think will be popular but if i had to compare DBSK to Big Bang popularity it would go to DBSK. Shinee still young and still going through puberty… if they continue to put out hit singles then i can see them gain more popularity etc. But i think with album sales totally lacking in Korean industry who knows what will happen. And i really doubt they will debut Shinee in Japan anytime soon

I pick DBSK for the win.  They have a huge hardcore dedicated fanbase in Korea, even when they were gone for almost two years, their fans keep hanging on for their return and they are surprisingly still as obsessed as before.  Big bang probably be second after DBSK but Shinee is too new to even think about selling as much albums as these two groups.

DBSK comeback will be a blast. SHINee will go for the Newbie Award, and they’ll probably win :D

DBSK has been around longer, so it isn’t that reasonable to compare how well Big Bang does to them...and Shinee doesn’t even compare…

dbsk will always be on toppp!!!!!!!

Not to be offensive but if you look at the facts how can Big Bang reach the Oricon charts if they are only going out into Japan for like how many months? It took DBSK a while i think it’ll take them a while.. and for their english… it’s not like they can learn the whole language and perfect in like a couple of months it takes some time..

I’m really getting annoyed by comments like, “DBSK has been there longer,” “They debuted first,” and all those nonsense! Shinhwas has been in the industry for 10 good long years! Yet DBSK surpass whatever Shinhwa achieved in their 10 years in just 5 years. I don’t know, I’m just fed up with all the “They debuted first” crap ever since I’ve learn of SuJu and DBSK...I’ve learned about DBSK first, of course...For 3 years of being a DBSK fan, all I’ve heard from other fans why DBSK is more successful than other bands is because they debuted first! Why is that? I just want to know, why? SS501 debuted first than SuJu, but you want to or not, SuJu is a lot more popular than Double S…
If Big Bang learns Japanese (It’s not that hard, DBSK learned it in 2 years and speak it fluently now, it’s impossible that they won’t) and work their butts off like DBSK did, they might achieve what DBSK achieved and is still achieving, but by that time it won’t be as rewarding as DBSK’s; and DBSK will grow bigger. I personally think, that it’s a matter of hard work, dedication, perspiration, and most of all talents, not just being in the industry for long...Being in the industry earns you 25% of respect, that’s all, or maybe more than that. One day, we’ll heard in news that SHINee is world’s best boy band (ahehe)…

DBSK is gonna win cuz they have crazy fangirls. Plus the fact that Big Bang’s english is horrible. Now if they both released Korean albums at the same time, then that would be a battle. But rite now it’s like pitting Mike Tyson against a 5 year old.

^playing safe? That is one ridiculous claim...they’re in Japan, of course, they would get more recognition if they sing in Japanese...Where have you seen someone who wants to penetrate other country’s music industry by using other’s language?...though, English is the universal language...it’s as if you’re saying, “You’ll be popular if you sing Spanish in France.”
