Girls’ Generation’s fourth mini album, “Mr.Mr.“, placed first on Gaon’s March album chart. The Gaon album chart keeps track of domestic and international physical album sales. “Mr.Mr.” sold 70,295 copies last month, even holding the top spot for two consecutive weeks on Gaon’s weekly album chart.
“Mr.Mr.” also did well in February. Despite the physical mini album’s February 27th release, “Mr.Mr.” still managed to sell 87,824 copies in the remaining two days, thus sliding into second place for February’s Gaon album chart. “Mr.Mr.”‘s March sales brought the mini album’s two-month total to 158,119 copies sold.
The “Mr.Mr.” mini album was digitally released three days prior to the physical mini album, on February 24th. It achieved an all-kill on Korean music sites, in addition to topping iTunes in multiple countries. It also ranked third on Gaon’s digital chart for the month of March. The girls’ previous Korean comeback, “I Got A Boy”, also managed to place first on the Gaon monthly album chart for the month of January 2013.

It’s no more of a surprise that they reach #1 on anything anymore! They are Girls’ Generation and SONES are amazing! :D
As expected of SNSD.
Hope they will comeback (again) soon. Haha. I already miss them.
They bring me joy.
Pretty cool indeed, a high standard sound engineering. Music is universal language, a business of almost pure love and bonding among fans and artists. I treat music as an artistic of mankind “key of life” and more, also engine of growth in capitalism. Full modest “abilities” for our beloved kid leader and GG…
yehey!,sure win at Gaon Charts Award next year! ..chukahamnida Soshi!^-^V♥ Everyone! SONE and Soshi daebak!^-^V
I don’t understand why people don’t like the song. I mean honestly, the dance could have been better, but the song itself is so addictive! Every song on the album has its own charm. Go SNSD! You’re still the wall no one can climb over.
“You’re still the wall no one can climb over.” <— ♥♥♥
I personally just dont like the autotuning. Sunny’s part in the beginning and second part, and Yoona’s and Sooyoung’s that’s right after Sunny.
Everything else I like.

I think with this much album sales, it is enough for the girls to receive Album sales award for 1st quarter in next year’s Gaon Award.
Well done girls! You’re the best! ^^
Way to go ladies!
oh yeah our girls dominate the month of March in physical sales. congrats ladies and Sone and thanks to random peeps who also bought the album because they like it. sales though are so much smaller than how it was a year ago. i thought it’d have over 200k copies sold. sigh SM really frig up this promotion badly. i feel really bad for our girls being treated like this. my only hope is that they’ll be able to come back strong whenever their next comeback comes around. SM giving them lesser quality material to work with while they give their male groups all the good quality material. -_-
man it would be so good if Soshi can get more freedom to write their own songs and be coach in producing/composing too. SM please have more faith in Soshi.
anyway thanks SSF for update. keep it up. <3
“They give their male groups all the good quality material”.
Except for the fact that every Super Junior video in the past couple of years has been a box set, TVXQ hardly do anything, and there is no news of a SHINee comeback.
They don’t focus on their male groups, they focus on 1 male group, EXO.
Girls’ Generation get a lot more attention than the likes of most of their groups, as much as it doesn’t feel like it.
Mr.Mr. is a mini album and all their mini albums sold less than their full albums. You can’t really compare these figures to I.G.A.B. so they still did well this time.
