SEVENTEEN's 12th mini album has debuted in the top 5 of the U.S. Billboard 200, showcasing their strong popularity in North America.


According to a preview article posted on Billboard's official website on October 27 (local time), SEVENTEEN's (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, Dino) 12th mini album SPILL THE FEELS ranked 5th on the Billboard 200 chart for November 2, with equivalent sales of approximately 66,000 units. Billboard explained that SPILL THE FEELS sold 64,000 physical albums and 2,000 SEA units (streaming equivalent albums). 


This marks the sixth consecutive album SEVENTEEN has placed in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, following Face the Sun (No. 7), SECTOR 17 (No. 4), FML (No. 2), SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN (No. 2), and 17 IS RIGHT HERE (No. 5). Their earlier releases Attacca (No. 13) and Your Choice (No. 15) also made it onto the chart.


The group's impressive album sales power is evident. SPILL THE FEELS is the only K-pop album released this year to surpass 3 million copies sold in its first week, and it also dominated Japan's Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and Combined Album Ranking charts.


SEVENTEEN's global popularity is expected to rise even further with their ongoing world tour, SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR. Following two energetic shows in Rosemont on October 22-23, the group kicked off their New York concerts on the 25th. After another show in New York on the 27th, they will continue to Texas, Oakland, and Los Angeles. 


Various special events are also planned: on October 28, New York's iconic Empire State Building will be lit up in SEVENTEEN's signature colors, and on the 30th, they will perform on ABC's Good Morning America. In Los Angeles, the group will present The City SEVENTEEN, an immersive experience combining their concert content and IP with local infrastructure, offering a unique experience for North American CARATs (their fanbase).
