The act marked a new all-time high record with more than 4.67 million pre-orders
K-pop icon Seventeen has unveiled the highlight medley for their 11th mini album Seventeenth Heaven ahead of its official release on October 23rd.
Staying true to the festival theme, the highlight medley unfolds with the highly anticipated track “SOS (Prod. Marshmello)” featuring the DJ’s signature sound fused with surprise elements of rock and Jersey Club. The clip takes a brighter turn as the lead single “God of Music” rolls out, encapsulating the lively, joyous energy of a festival in full swing. A soul-funk number embellished with synths and brass, the track’s whimsical lyrics celebrate the happiness music can harness.
The medley continues to showcase the highlights from five additional tracks, including Seventeen’s heartfelt odes to their dedicated fans, “Diamond Days” and “Headliner.” The backdrop montage of the members shifts between daylight and nightfall to best accompany the distinct sound of each musical piece as the listeners are introduced to Performance Unit’s “Back 2 Back,” Hip-Hop Unit’s “Monster,” and Vocal Unit’s “Yawn.”
The 13-piece act also dropped three assorted versions of concept photos (AM 5:26, PM 2:14, PM 10:23) over the last week, each version representing a different time point at a festival as shown in the highlight medley. A colorful tracklist reminiscent of a festival line-up poster followed, revealing the titles and the credits of a total of eight tracks featured in the mini album.
With five days left until its arrival, Seventeenth Heaven has already set a new record as the band’s all-time high with pre-order sales amounting to more than 4.67 million as of October 12th. This surpasses the 4.64 million mark in pre-orders for their previous album FML which sold over 6.2 million copies in just two months after release, becoming the best-selling album ever in K-pop history.
The K-pop icon has garnered more than 11 million album sales to their name during the first nine months of 2023 as the act continues its unstoppable upward trajectory.
