SEVENTEEN is having an incredible year, shattering records and reaching new heights in K-pop. The group has broken multiple records and is on track to become a "10 Million Artist" for the second year in a row!
As of December 16, SEVENTEEN has sold 9.76 million albums from January to November 2024, according to Circle Chart. With December’s sales still to be counted, they’re likely to surpass 10 million, marking a second straight year of record-breaking sales.
Last year, SEVENTEEN hit 10 million albums sold, and they’re on track to do it again this year, thanks to their consistent success with both new and older albums.
SEVENTEEN’s 2024 releases have been massive hits. Their best album 17 IS RIGHT HERE, released in April, broke the record for the highest initial sales for a K-pop best album and achieved triple-million-seller status in just ten days. The special unit album THIS MAN by Jeonghan and Wonwoo, released in June, also set a new record for the highest initial sales for a K-pop unit album.
Their mini album SPILL THE FEELS, released in October, made waves by surpassing 3 million initial sales.
By November, it had sold almost 4 million copies, becoming the best-selling K-pop album of 2024. SEVENTEEN’s Japanese album Shohikigen has sold over 500,000 copies and was certified “Double Platinum” in Japan.
SEVENTEEN has also proven themselves as masters of live performances this year. With multiple sold-out concerts across the globe, including their SEVENTEEN TOUR 'FOLLOW' TO ASIA and the SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR, they’ve drawn over 1.1 million concertgoers so far, with more to come. By the end of their world tour, SEVENTEEN expects to reach an incredible 1.5 million viewers, including both online streaming and live audiences.
This year, they made history by becoming the first K-pop artist to hold a concert at the Macau Olympic Stadium, and they also performed at huge venues like the Seoul World Cup Stadium and Kanagawa Nissan Stadium, proving their global appeal.
2024 has been a year of global expansion for SEVENTEEN. The group took their career to new heights by performing at legendary events like the Glastonbury Festival and Lollapalooza Berlin, earning rave reviews for their performances. The UK’s NME even praised them as “K-pop maestros making history.”
As global youth representatives, SEVENTEEN continued their partnership with UNESCO, becoming the first K-pop artists to speak at the UNESCO Youth Forum and were later appointed as UNESCO’s Youth Goodwill Ambassadors. In addition, they donated 1 million dollars to support global youth initiatives.
In 2025, SEVENTEEN will celebrate their 10th anniversary with even more exciting performances. They’ll be headlining the SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN ASIA and will also be the first K-pop group to perform at Mexico’s largest music festival, Tecate Pa’l Norte 2025. The group’s influence continues to grow, and their fans can’t wait to see what’s next!
