[Kpop Planet News] SEVENTEEN Tops Oricon Chart For The Third Time With"SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN"

SEVENTEEN made it to the top on the Oricon Chart for the third time!

On March 12, Oricon announced that SEVENTEEN's 11th mini album "SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN" has secured top position of the weekly cumulative album ranking chart for the week of March 4 to 10.

The album has previously topped the chart for the week of October 23 to 29 last year when it first dropped and once again for February 5 to 11 this year. This makes it the first album, among both Japanese and overseas albums, to have topped the chart for three times in two years and eight months since BTS’s “The Best” in 2021.  

SEVENTEEN now also holds the record for the most number one albums on the Oricon album chart with a total of 11. They are also the foreign artist with the most number one titles in each Oricon chart.

"SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN" was first released on October 23, and the album has achieved record-breaking success globally. Not only did it set a new record for K-pop album first-week sales record by selling over 5.09 million copies within a week of its release, it even received the triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for selling over 750,000 copies, proving SEVENTEEN's position as one of the most popular K-pop groups internationally. 

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN will be kicking off their "SEVENTEEN TOUR Follow Again" encore tour later this month, which is an extension of the group's recent world tour “Follow,” which ended on January 21.

 

 

The tour will begin with two opening shows at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on March 30 and 31, followed by 2 shows at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on April 27 and 28. SEVENTEEN will then hold 4 shows in Japan, including 2 at the Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka on May 18 and 19, then 2 at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama on May 25 and 26.

Congratulations to SEVENTEEN for clinching No.1 on the Oricon chart again, and let's wish the members good show for their upcoming encore tour!
