SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEEN has achieved third place on the Oricon chart with “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN“.
The group SEVENTEEN (composed of S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino) has set another significant record on the Oricon chart in Japan.
According to the latest rankings released by Oricon on March 12th, SEVENTEEN‘s mini-album “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN” reached third place on the weekly Oricon album chart (from March 4th to March 10th, 2024). This marks the third time this album has reached the top of the chart, a remarkable achievement. It is the first time a foreign artist has achieved this feat in about 2 years and 8 months, following BTS (with “THE BEST”).
Released on October 23th last year, “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN” continues to enjoy consistent popularity even after nearly 5 months since its release. Upon its release, the album topped the weekly Oricon album chart. With this achievement, SEVENTEEN becomes the first foreign artist with the most number of albums at the top of this chart.
Furthermore, with “SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN“, SEVENTEEN made history in K-pop by becoming the first artist to surpass 5 million copies sold in a week after its release, establishing a new record for initial sales in K-pop history.
SEVENTEEN continues its encore tour, “SEVENTEEN TOUR ‘FOLLOW’ AGAIN“, in large stadiums in Korea and Japan. This tour will consist of eight concerts in four cities, starting at the Incheon Asia Main Stadium on March 30 and 31, followed by the Seoul World Cup Stadium on April 27 and 28, the Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka on May 18 and 19, and finally the Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa on May 25 and 26.
