Well, that shows that good promotion strategies (or gimmicks? feels more accurate on this case...) does make a difference. I mean, I do know people who honestly loves AKB48 and buy the singles and all, but they only buy ONE copy (sometimes more than one version, but only one copy of each like a normal consumer), however those fans that get 20 copies of each release? Of the exact same CD? That's just not normal... Or maybe it is now a days, idk. If you look at kpop, the more popular groups have people bulk buying the albums and many people get multiple copies to help the artist in charts (many people get more than one copy for the random members' photocards as well), so it's not an isolated thing.
