The K-pop group SEVENTEEN has achieved remarkable success with their 12th mini-album SPILL THE FEELS, selling over 2.49 million copies on its release day alone, marking them as a double million-seller. 


According to Hanteo Chart, SEVENTEEN recorded a total of 2,494,180 copies sold on October 14, the album's release day, and immediately ranked first on the daily album chart. This comes after their best album 17 IS RIGHT HERE, which also reached double million-seller status on its release day in April. SEVENTEEN is the only artist this year to surpass 2 million album sales on the first day, further solidifying their dominance as "album powerhouses."


The group's global influence is equally impressive. SPILL THE FEELS hit number one on iTunes' "Top Album" chart in 18 countries and regions, including Macau, India, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Turkey. Additionally, the album debuted at number two on the Worldwide iTunes Album chart.


The title track LOVE, MONEY, FAME (featuring DJ Khaled) is also off to a strong start, topping Bugs' real-time chart and ranking high on Melon's "Top 100," Genie, and other major streaming platforms. Other tracks from the album, including Eyes on You, 1 TO 13, Candy, Rain, and Water, also entered the charts successfully. The album conveys a message of trust and emotional sharing with others, encouraging listeners to open up and alleviate their worries. The album's title, SPILL THE FEELS, is an anagram of the phrase "I FELT HELPLESS," reflecting SEVENTEEN's support and encouragement for those who have struggled with expressing their feelings.


The title track LOVE, MONEY, FAME blends R&B and hip-hop with a groovy melody that creates a strong addictive quality. The lyrics, "All I want is your love," resonate with the album's overarching theme and express SEVENTEEN's heartfelt message to their fans, CARATs.


SEVENTEEN will be performing on music shows, starting with Mnet's M Countdown on October 17. They are also currently on their world tour, SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR, which kicked off with a spectacular concert at Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on October 12-13, attended by over 58,000 fans. The tour will continue to major cities across the United States, Japan, and other parts of Asia.
