SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN takes the spotlight with sky-high album sales!
In just nine months this year, the group SEVENTEEN (consisting of S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon and Dino), has set a remarkable record by selling over 10 million albums.
According to the October 5th CircleChart data, from January 1st to September 30th, SEVENTEEN sold an astounding total of 11,043,265 albums. With these figures, in just 9 months, the group showcased his undeniable powerhouse status in K-pop.
This record-breaking feat is majorly attributed to their 10th mini-album “FML“, released on April 24th, which has so far sold over 627,000 copies, marking it as the highest-selling K-pop single album ever. Other major contributors come from their fourth full album “FACE THE SUN” and the release of the first single from the special unit consisting of SEUNGKWAN, DK, and HOSHI, “SECOND WIND“.
It’s noteworthy that SEVENTEEN had already surpassed 10 million total album sales back in November 2021, just 6 years and 6 months post its debut. However, with an accelerated growth curve, they solidified their stand as leading K-pop artists by achieving this figure in just 9 months.
Furthermore, SEVENTEEN is set to drop their 11th mini-album “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN” on October 23rd at 6 PM. The title refers to the English expression “Seventh Heaven”, implying a state of perfect bliss, but adapted with SEVENTEEN‘s unique twist. The group hopes to celebrate past efforts and achievements with fans while embarking on a new journey ahead.
As part of this celebration, SEVENTEEN will be hosting an offline event “SEVENTEEN STREET in Seongsu” until October 9th. This event will feature exhibits, artworks, and collaborations with various stores. For more details, check out the Weverse platform.
