K-pop stage-breakers SEVENTEEN have become the second artist in K-pop
history to sell over 2 million copies of an album in the first week of
release.
According to Hanteo Chart—a top music chart in Korea—on June 2, over
2.06 million copies of the K-pop supergroup’s 4th studio album Face the Sun
have been sold in the 7 days since its release. BTS are the only other artist
in Korea that holds the record of selling over 2 million copies in the first
week. The figure—2.06M—also marks the largest first-week sales for an album
released in Korea this year.
The band’s new album crossed the 1 million mark on the first day of
release, far exceeding the benchmark with 1.75 million copies sold. SEVENTEEN
were also the second artist to reach this milestone after BTS.
With the latest achievements, all of the 13-piece act’s past 6 releases
have now recorded over 1 million sales, with the last 2 releases selling over 2
million copies each.
SEVENTEEN recently signaled their grand return to the concert stage
after 2 years. The K-pop performance powerhouse will kick off their world tour
‘SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [BE THE SUN]’ on June 25 with two consecutive dates in
Seoul, followed by shows in 12 North American cities. More shows are expected
to be added to the list, including cities in Asia and a Japan Dome Tour.
