(ANN/KOREAN HERALD) — Seventeen’s 11th EP earned triple platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
The association on Friday said that Seventeen’s EP “Seventeenth Heaven” logged 750,000 shipments in the country as of October and qualified for the title.
The band is the first artist this year to have two consecutive albums certified “million” in Japan – with first EP “Dream” and 10th EP “FML.” Its best-of album in Japan, “Always Yours,” earned triple platinum.
Its newest EP debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 2 this week, tying as did the previous EP. It is the band’s sixth entry on the main albums chart. The 13-member team smashed the first-week album sales record in K-pop, selling more than 5 million units.
Later this month, the band will resume its Japan “dome” tour in Saitama.
