According to the latest Billboard chart preview article (dated May 18) on the 12th (local time), Seventeen's best album '17 Is Right Here,' released on April 29, debuted at number 5 on the 'Billboard 200' with sales equivalent to 53,000 units.

Notably, this achievement is considered exceptional for a best album that includes four new songs alongside previously released hit tracks.

The Billboard 'Global 200' chart ranks albums by aggregating SEA (streaming equivalent albums), which converts streaming counts from over 200 countries/regions worldwide including the US, and TEA (track equivalent albums), which accounts for traditional album sales, making it one of the indicators to observe the latest trends in the popular music market.

Seventeen's album '17 Is Right Here' recorded offline album sales of 49,000 units and SEA units of 4,000.

With this 5th place entry, Seventeen has achieved their fifth top 10 record on the 'Billboard 200.' Previously, they ranked 4th with their 4th full album repackage 'Sector 17' (2022), 7th with their 4th full album 'Face the Sun' (2022), 2nd with their 10th mini album 'FML' (2023), and 2nd with their 11th mini album 'SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN' (2023).

Seventeen surpassed cumulative sales of 3.18 million copies (including standard, Weverse, and kit versions) in April alone with '17 Is Right Here.' They achieved double million-seller status on the first day of release and continued to break new records with first-week sales of 2,967,937 units.

Having concluded official album activities, Seventeen will meet global fans by holding the 'SEVENTEEN TOUR 'FOLLOW' AGAIN' at Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka on the 18th and 19th, and at Nissan Stadium in Kanagawa on the 25th and 26th.
