Seventeen Appears On Billboard 200 For The Second Time With New Album ‘Attacca’
Third generation K-pop boyband Seventeen entered the Billboard 200 chart for the second time this year following the release of their ninth mini album “Attacca.”
Billboard announced the news on Twitter Sunday placing Seventeen alongside Elton John, Duran Duran, Lana del Rey, rapper Wale and rock band Every Time I Die, which also had entries in the chart which ranks the most popular albums in the U.S. every week.
“Debuts on this week’s #Billboard200,” the tweet read and ranked the 13-member boy group at No. 13 in the chart.
Seventeen debuted at Billboard 200 in June when their album “Your Choice” placed No. 15 in the charts.
On Oct. 29, Billboard reported that “Rock With You,” a track from the album “Attacca” maintained a steady presence in the top 5 of the newly-launched Hot Trending Songs Chart which ranks music-related trends and conversations on Twitter over the last 24 hours. The top winner last week was BTS’ “Butter” after it trended on conversations in Twitter the whole day.
In a separate tweet, Billboard also announced that “Attacca,” released on Oct. 22, is this week’s No. 1 top-selling album in the U.S.
“This week's top-selling albums: 1. @pledis_17 SEVENTEEN 9th mini album: Attacca (EP) 2. @lanadelrey Blue Banisters 3. @duranduran Future Past 4. @eltonofficial The Lockdown Sessions 5. @RollingStones Tattoo You,” the tweet read.
Members of the boyband previously shared their thoughts about their comeback album “Attacca” just four months after releasing “Your Choice.”
"We're not taking any breaks," Hoshi told Billboard with rapper S.Coups adding, "We worked even harder since we're not able to meet everyone in person right now. We wanted to connect more frequently, at least through our music."
"The kind of love we tried to illustrate through this album relays the message that regardless of where you stand and how you may look, 'you' will always be the best and most precious existence to 'me,” S.Coups continued.
“Your Choice” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album sales chart and sold a total of 20,500 copies in the U.S. in the week ending June 24, just days after its release on June 18.
Seventeen also earlier announced in a tweet that fans can have the chance to make their own version of “Rock With You” with the release of an audio kit that contains the song’s stems.
“We make our own music. Now, it’s your turn! Make and share your own music. Let’s play with Seventeen,” the tweet which also included links to the stems of “Rock With You” read.
