참고로 방탄소년단이 대단한 게 다른 가수와는 달리 콘서트 티켓이나 굿즈에 앨범을

싼 가격으로 끼워파는 꼼수를 전혀 쓰지 않았는데도 저정도..

Jonas Brothers celebrate their third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as Happiness Begins bows atop the chart. The set earned 414,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending June 13, of which 357,000 were in album sales.

 Happiness’ first-week sales were largely powered by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with more than 60 dates of the group’s upcoming U.S. arena tour.

빌보드에 따르면 조나스 브라더스의 Happiness Begins 앨범은 발매

첫 주에 순수 판매량 35만 7000장을 기록했는데 이 중에서 많은 수량이 콘서트 티켓에 끼워판 것이었다고 합니다.

그리고 현재도 콘서트 티켓/굿즈에 끼워팔고 있죠.

가격을 보면 Happiness Begins 디지털 앨범 11달러, 티셔츠 한 장이 25달러인데 두 개를 묶어서 파는게 25달러, 30달러..

즉, 앨범을 공짜로 주거나 아주 싼 가격에 파는셈입니다.

그리고 조나스 브라더스의 콘서트 티켓을 사면 Happiness Begins CD 한 장을 줍니다.

44달러 짜리 콘서트 티켓을 사도 앨범 한 장이 공짜.

그리고 조나스 브라더스뿐만이 아니라 빌리 아일리시도 When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? 앨범을

콘서트 티켓에 끼워팔았죠.

When We All Fall Asleep sold 170,000 copies in its first frame, the second-largest sales week of 2019 for an album, and the largest for an album by a woman. The only bigger sales frame was tallied by Backstreet Boys’ DNA, which launched with 227,000 copies sold (Feb. 9-dated chart). (Both DNA and When We All Fall Asleep had concert ticket/album sale redemption offers assisting their first weeks.)

게다가 Hits daily double 차트에서 방탄 페르소나 앨범 판매량 추이를 보면

조나스브라더스의 판매량을 뛰어넘을 태세..
