[Kpop Planet News] SEVENTEEN Breaks Album Sales Record With "17 IS RIGHT HERE"

SEVENTEEN broke album sales record with their new album!

According to the album sales figures from Hanteo Chart on May 6, SEVENTEEN's new compilation album "17 IS RIGHT HERE" sold 2,967,937 copies since its release on April 29.

This sets the highest first-week sales record for a K-pop compilation album, which usually sells less than albums that only comprise of new songs. With this, SEVENTEEN also added a new record following last year's eleventh mini-album "SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN", which recorded 5,091,887 copies, achieving the highest first-week sales in K-pop history.

Apart from the record-breaking album sales, "17 IS RIGHT HERE" also topped the Oricon daily album ranking in Japan for 5 consecutive days and also took the top spot on Line Music's 'Top Album 100' chart, as well as ranking 2nd on iTunes' 'Worldwide Album' chart, proving the group's immense popularity in Japan.

In addition, the title track of this album, "MAESTRO", topped the iTunes 'Top Songs' chart in 32 countries worldwide, and achieved the top spot on the 'Worldwide Songs' chart. The song also secured high ranking on Korean streaming charts including Melon, Bugs, Genie, Flo, YouTube Music, and Naver Vibe.

According to the latest Billboard chart, the song also entered the 'Global 200' and 'Global (excluding the US)' charts at 91st and 40th place, respectively.

Following the album promotion, SEVENTEEN will continue their "'Follow' Again" world tour at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka on the 18th and 19th, and at Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa on the 25th and 26th.
