As of the 19th, a record of 3,087,613 copies
The group 'Seventeen' (SVT) has surpassed 3 million pre-orders for their best album.
According to album distributor YG Plus on the 22nd, Seventeen's best album 'Seventeen Is Right Here (17 IS RIGHT HERE)' recorded 3,087,613 pre-orders as of the 19th. It is rare for a best album, which compiles hit songs, to achieve such a high number of pre-orders.
Notably, the news that the Seventeen best album would include new songs was first revealed relatively late, at midnight on the 19th. The album features four new tracks, including the title track "Maestro (MAESTRO)," unit songs "Lalali (LALALI)," "Spell," and "Cheongchun Changa."
Pledis stated, "As news of the new songs has been delivered, we expect the pre-order volume of this album to increase further during the remaining reservation sales period."
Seventeen established themselves as a leading K-pop group by surpassing 16 million cumulative album sales last year. Their 10th mini album 'FML,' released in April of the same year, recorded cumulative sales of 6.27 million, marking the highest sales for a single K-pop album. The 11th mini album 'Seventeenth Heaven (SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN)' became the first in K-pop history to exceed 5 million first-week sales (sales within one week of release).
The best album 'Seventeen Is Right Here' is a compilation of their past, present, and future, and will be released on the 29th. It includes 20 Korean album title tracks, 8 Japanese album title tracks adapted into Korean, and the instrumental track "Akkinda (Inst.)."
Before the release of the best album, Seventeen will hold the 'Seventeen Tour 'Follow' Again to Seoul (SEVENTEEN TOUR 'FOLLOW' AGAIN TO SEOUL)' at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 27th and 28th. In May, they will continue their performances in Japan at Osaka Yanmar Stadium Nagai on the 18th and 19th, and at Kanagawa Nissan Stadium on the 25th and 26th.
