SEVENTEEN's Best Album "17 IS RIGHT HERE" Sales Are Close to 3 Million

Group SEVENTEEN has set another new record with their best album.

According to the Hanteo Chart, Seventeen sold 2,967,937 copies of their best album in the week since its release on April 29. This is the highest initial sales of K-pop best albums in the history of Hanteo Chart (the first week of sales immediately after its release).

This marks a new milestone in the history of Korean pop music, following the record of the "first-ever No. 1 K-pop album" (5,091,887) that was set by SEVENTEEN with its 11th mini album last year. "17 IS RIGHT HERE" was already a double million seller on the day of its release. Considering the characteristics of the best album, which is a collection of popular hit songs, this achievement is even more unusual, proving once again that SEVENTEEN is the best K-pop group.

It's the best selling album of the year currently!
