[News] SNSD named #2 ‘Power’ Girl Group in Japan

Right after Forbes Korea ranked SNSD first in 8th annual Korea’s Power Celebrity 40, Japan’s Nikkei Entertainment has named SNSD the number two ‘Power’ Girl Group in Japan.

To compute the list, Nikkei used 2010 average sales for singles:

1. AKB48: 684,800 copies

2. SNSD: 679,000 copies

3. KARA

4. Perfume

With KARA having legal difficulties, it’s hard to imagine any Korean girl group giving SNSD some serious competition right now. Maybe this will change with 2NE1′s debut in Japan?
