Seventeen has captivated the heart of Japan.

According to the latest statistics from Japan's Oricon (as of the 13th), Seventeen ranked first in the weekly combined album rankings with their best album '17 IS RIGHT HERE'.

The weekly combined album ranking is calculated by adding up CD sales, digital downloads, and streaming numbers. Seventeen achieved 344,000 points.

Physical album sales had a significant impact on this ranking. '17 IS RIGHT HERE' sold more than 333,000 copies at Oricon's official statistics agency alone.

With this, Seventeen won twice on the Oricon weekly chart. '17 IS RIGHT HERE' was ranked first in the weekly album ranking released on the 7th.

It also broke the record for overseas artists. They ranked at the top of the combined weekly album rankings for the 12th time in their total. This is the record for the most wins among groups excluding Japanese singers.

This album also ranked first on Billboard Japan's 'Hot Album' and 'Top Album Sales' charts. It received the highest points among albums released from the 29th of last month to the 5th of last month.

It is showing exceptional results as a best album. The initial sales (sales during the first week of album release) of '17 IS RIGHT HERE' exceeded 2.96 million copies based on the Hanteo Chart.

The title song 'MAESTRO' is also showing off its popularity. After the release of the song, it entered the US Billboard 'Global 200' chart with only 4 days of streaming and downloading.
