SEVENTEEN Soars to No. 2 on Billboard 200 With ‘SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN’

SEVENTEEN has just scored their fourth consecutive top 10 album on the Billboard 200! On November 5, Billboard announced that the 13-member boy group’s new mini album SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN  debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It’s a weekly ranking of the most popular albums in the United States. Luminate (formerly Nielsen Music) wrote, SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN earned a total of 100,000 equivalent album units during the week ending on November 2, consisting mainly of physical album sales (98,000).

SEVENTEEN previously entered the top 10 with their 2022 album Face the Sun (which peaked at No. 7), their repackaged album SECTOR 17 (No. 4), and their previous mini album FML (No. 2). The mini album SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN sold over 5 million copies in the first week, rewriting K-pop album sales records. In Japan, it claimed the top spot on Oricon’s weekly and weekly combined album rankings. That cemented SEVENTEEN’s status as the international artist that topped both charts with the most albums at 11.

SEVENTEEN achieved a triple crown

But that’s not all. Circle Chart (formerly known as Gaon Chart) revealed its chart rankings for the week of October 22 to 28. SEVENTEEN achieved a triple crown that week, topping three separate charts with SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN and its title track “God of Music.” SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN also swept all of the top three spots on that week’s physical album chart. Its regular version debuted at No. 1, the Weverse version at No. 2, and the KiT version at No. 3.

The title track from the album is also doing well. SEVENTEEN just wrapped up a perfect week of music show wins with a fifth trophy for “God of Music.” On the November 5 episode of SBS’s Inkigayo, the first place candidates were AKMU’s “Fry’s Dream,” SEVENTEEN’s “God of Music,” and BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s “You & Me.” SEVENTEEN ultimately took the win with a total of 8,290 points—meaning that the song won every single music show the group performed it on, starting from Wednesday’s Show Champion all the way to Sunday’s Inkigayo (with M Countdown, Music Bank, and Music Core in between).

Meanwhile, the 13-member act will resume its Japan tour in Saitama on Nov. 23 and will hop over to Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka until Dec. 17. – K-Pop News Writer
