Reception

According to the Financial Times, SNH48 is described as being "run more like a tech start-up than a musical group". Its strategy, which is modeled after AKB48's, involves teams of interchangeable singers, allowing to build generations of female stars and longer-lasting revenue streams.[37] In May 2017, it is reported that they had raised more than $150 million from investors.[38] SNH48's system is an expansion on the model used by AKB48, combining technology such as mobile applications to track a favorite idol with the traditional focus on voting for a favorite Idol.[37]

In 2016 alone the group sold an estimated 2 million copies of their albums.[37]
