SuperM is accused, by Rolling Stone and The New York Times, of inflating its figures to debut in the top of the Billboard 200

The note left by Rolling Stone turned out to be quite clear and would imply that the marketing strategies that helped SuperM have made history in the K-pop industry:

The marketing strategies generated by SuperM, which have focused on the sale of their album with their concert tickets and the sales of physical copies, have made them totally annihilate their main competitor, Summer Walker.

Remember that Summer Walker had asked to hear her hit song Over It to avoid any use of SuperM on the music charts, which would not have generated any success.

Other magazines such as BuzzFeedNews and The New York Times have indicated that SuperM would have managed to be # 1 on the Billboard 200 with almost zero scores in streaming, which is currently the main market. Therefore, they would have declared that there would be the possibility of generating a certain "trap" to inflate the debut numbers of said boy band.
