Gaon Chart plans to officially total and release the number of copies sold of the JYJ’s first Korean-language album In Heaven.

Gaon Chart revealed through its official homepage: “The negotiations with JYJ’s (album) distributor, A&G Modes, is currently ongoing. If we are early, then from October 10th the data for the copies sold for the month of September will be reflected.”

An affiliate of Gaon Chart revealed in a telephone conversation with Everyday Economy Star Today: “The distributor A&G Modes was not a member firm of Gaon Chart and so the tracking (of the copies sold for the chart) was impossible. Currently we are in the middle of final negotiations over the number of copies sold and reflection of that number on the chart.”

As for Gaon Chart,  it draws its figures not merely from the materials from the distributor firm but also from the materials from M2M, a distribution center. JYJ is not a member company of Gaon Chart and as for the distributor firm it also does not go through M2M but rather itself directly distributes and so the tracking of the number of copies sold is not being done. Such a method of tracking has as its advantage the fact that it can show a more accurate number for the album sales as compared to the traditional Hanteo Chart because it takes into account the number of quantities distributed and returned.

On the other hand, it has become known that JYJ’s In Heaven has sold a total of 350,000 copies as of the current date of early October, according to the records of its agency.
