SEVENTEEN’s latest album, “17 is Right Here,” sold over 2.2 million copies on the first day of its release, making it the best-selling K-pop compilation album on the day of its release.

“17 is Right Here,” released on Monday, is boy band Seventeen’s first compilation album, wrapping up its nine-year discography and opening a new chapter for the band. The album features 33 tracks, including four brand-new songs, 20 Korean lead tracks, eight Korean versions of the band’s Japanese lead tracks, and the instrumental version of “Adore U.”

The album received positive reactions worldwide. It topped iTunes’ Top Album chart in 17 regions around the world and landed at No. 2 on iTunes’ Worldwide Album chart.

The band will continue the tour in May at the Osaka Yanmar Stadium Nagai and Kanagawa’s Nissan Stadium. The latter is Japan’s largest performance venue, seating around 70,000.

Seventeen will also join the Glastonbury Festival in June and Chicago’s Lollapalooza in August. The band also plans to release a new album — their second this year — and kick off another tour in the fall, bringing them to the United States for the first time in two years.
