SEVENTEEN is showing the world just how much they’ve grown, as they’ve become the only K-pop artist to land on Billboard’s prestigious year-end Top Tours chart.

According to the 2024 Year-End Chart Boxscore, released on December 16, SEVENTEEN secured the 31st spot on the Top Tours chart, alongside global superstars like Coldplay, U2, Ed Sheeran, and Bruno Mars.

In addition to this impressive achievement, they also topped the K-pop category for Top Tours, solidifying their place as one of the world’s top live performers.

But that’s not all! SEVENTEEN was also named “Stage Kings” in The 2024 K-pop Yearbook by Consequence of Sound.

The publication praised the group’s passion for performing, saying, “Watching SEVENTEEN on stage makes it immediately clear how much they love what they do. Having spent over a decade together, the members seem to have their passion ingrained in their bloodstream.”

SEVENTEEN shared their heartfelt response, saying, “Every performance holds great meaning for us. We will always give our best to deliver shows that CARATs can be proud of.”

This year, SEVENTEEN has been connecting with fans across the globe through their SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR, which has already included 36 solo concerts. With their ongoing Japan dome tour, their total audience numbers (both on- and offline) are approaching a staggering 1.5 million.

In addition to their tour success, SEVENTEEN made history as the first K-pop act to perform on the main stage at the UK's Glastonbury Festival and also headlined Lollapalooza Berlin in Germany.

They were also awarded the Top K-pop Touring Artist honor at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards on December 12, adding yet another major achievement to their resume.

Their global impact doesn’t stop there. SEVENTEEN’s 12th mini-album, SPILL THE FEELS, earned a spot in Billboard’s The 25 Best K-Pop Albums of 2024: Staff Picks, and their track Spell was selected by Dazed UK as one of the 50 Best K-Pop Tracks of 2024 and by Teen Vogue as one of the 15 Best K-Pop Music Videos of 2024.

SEVENTEEN continues to break records, win hearts, and prove their status as K-pop’s global ambassadors!
