And looking up at the sales, they really aren't selling for their musical talent. Most of their CD's seem to go waste once hardcore fans get their bonus items and or voting/concert tickets. Look at this article:

I think it's a bit hazy marketing concept. Also, I feel sorry for the girls, because they really don't seem to have that much popularity over what they really do [music], but over those tickets that are a bonus, and then even fans throw their copies away, or sell them with really low price.
