K-pop sensation SEVENTEEN achieves groundbreaking first-day sales with their latest compilation album, setting new industry benchmarks

SEVENTEEN has once again made waves in the music industry with their new release, “17 IS RIGHT HERE,” a compilation album featuring the hit single “Maestro.” Since its release on April 29, the album has captivated fans worldwide, evidenced by its impressive sales performance. According to the Hanteo Chart, the album sold a staggering 2,260,906 copies within the first 24 hours, marking it as the fifth highest-selling K-Pop album in terms of first-day sales.

The album’s success is notable as it primarily comprises previously released tracks, distinguishing it from fresh studio albums which typically dominate sales charts. This makes “17 IS RIGHT HERE” the best-selling compilation album in the K-Pop sector on its first day, surpassing the sales figures of BTS’s compilation album “PROOF,” which sold 2.15 million copies during the same timeframe.

SEVENTEEN’s commercial triumph with this release is particularly remarkable considering the album’s competition primarily comes from their own previous records and works by other top groups like BTS and Stray Kids. This achievement underscores the group’s robust and loyal fanbase, as well as their consistent ability to deliver music that resonates with a broad audience.

The music video for “Maestro,” the album’s lead single, has also received widespread acclaim, captivating viewers with its innovative visuals and the group’s dynamic performance. This combination of auditory and visual appeal has played a crucial role in driving album sales and streaming numbers.

As SEVENTEEN continues to push the boundaries of what is achievable in the K-pop industry, the group’s strategy of releasing a compilation album has paid off, showcasing their versatility and the enduring popularity of their musical catalogue. Industry experts and fans alike are eager to see how “17 IS RIGHT HERE” will perform in the coming weeks on global music charts and streaming platforms.

This record-setting launch not only highlights SEVENTEEN’s dominance in the K-Pop scene but also signals their growing influence on the global music stage. As they continue to innovate and impress, the music world watches eagerly to see what heights SEVENTEEN will reach next
