Despite the crises on Korean music industry, Big Bang managed to sale 430,000 copies this year, becoming the biggest selling artist of 2008, as well as achieving a number 1 in both online and offline music charts such as Melon, Mnet, Bugs and others with 3 different songs: Majimak insa from mini-album Hot Issue, Haru Haru from mini-album Stand Up and recently with Byulk-eun no-eul from their new album, Remember.
Since Big Bang's new album was released less than a week ago, it is possible that they will sell more than 500,000 copies this year.
