[NEWS] BIGBANG is practically No.1 in terms of pull of audience in Japan


BIGBANG has proved their formidable pull in Japan.

BIGBANG is ranked 8th in the number of paying audience for concert in Japan, which was recently calculated by Nihon Geizai newspaper (among concerts held until October, 2015).

In terms of the absolute number of audience, BIGBANG drew 708,000 people to their concerts, which made the team get ranked in the 8thplace. However, considering the fact that the number of concerts given by BIGBANG is the smallest at 14 out of all the singers ranked within top 10, BIGBANG practically takes the top place on the list.
