If SJ is really going to release their 5th album this year (speculated during the 3rd quarter, probably around September) then their main contender would be Bigbang. We're facing tough competition this year from them. As you can notice, they have been conquering album sales (even surpassing DBSK's) and recently passed the 1 millionth mark for digital downloads.
So here's the thing. I'm aware that so far, no one from the USA is arranging bulk ordering for the West. So most US ELFs are forced to buy their albums from sources that won't count in the final year awards. A very good example would be 'Yesasia'. I want to know who here are US ELFs or foreign ELFs who haven't been able to order straight from Korea all this while? Are you guys interested in taking part in the bulk ordering of SJ's 5th album? That's because I have gotten hold of info that Korean ELFs from SJ-Market are willing to bulk order for you guys. It's not confirmed. But there's a possibility they'll do bulk ordering for foreign ELFs who weren't able to bulk order in the past. (I'm assuming you fully understand the concept of bulk ordering right?)
If interested, let me know. I need to know how many people are interested. Spread this to other ELFs in general. Thanks ^^
