Black Swan has officially made its debut on the 16th of October 2020. There has been news spreading that the multinational girl group has only sold 14 copies of their album.
The girl group Black Swan is composed of Korean, Belgian, and Brazilian nationalities.
As stated by the group's agency DR Music, their album Goodbye Rania was successfully released through various music sites at 6 PM KST on the 16th of October 2020. The famous overseas composers Melanie Fontana and Michelle Lindgren Schulz produced the group's pop-dance style title song Tonight.
Low Album Sales
According to the Hanteo charts of South Korea, the album did not do well on any music charts. This is even after a week of their debut. On the first days of release, the album only sold a total of 14 copies.
It was also noted that the group did not hold any music shows, which was likely why they did not get enough promotion to sell their album copies. There was follow-up information that said that since no prior notification of sales was available, it is most likely that the girl group only sold 14 copies in all and not just on the first day of album sales.
Regarding the album sales, the company has not provided accurate information. Fans are beginning to speculate this number of "14 albums" from the general public's report from chart websites, etc. Either way, with the figures stated, fans were disappointed.
