Boy group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) first entered the “Global Artist Chart” selected by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
According to IFPI’s announcement on its official website and SNS channel on Feb 25th, Seventeen ranked 9th on the Global Artist Chart 2021, a chart that is calculated according to an artist’s or group’s worldwide performance across digital and physical music formats during the year.
In particular, BTS and Seventeen are the only K-pop artists that made it to the top 10 of the Global Artist Chart 2021. Seventeen added a special meaning by appearing on the chart for the first time since their debut.
Seventeen achieved 5 consecutive million sellers with their 9th mini album “Attacca” last year as well as set their own best record by making it to the chart for 2 weeks in a row on Billboard’s main album chart “Billboard 200“.
In addition, Seventeen was selected as the artist of December and the first K-pop artist for the “MTV PUSH” campaign to highlight global artists by selecting an artist every month, proving the potential of a “global K-pop powerhouse”.
Seventeen will host “2022 SVT 6TH FAN MEETING ‘SEVENTEEN in CARAT LAND’”, which is scheduled to be held online and offline for a total of 3 days from Mar 25th to 27th.
