SEVENTEEN rides on a career high with upcoming album Face The Sun
On May 20, 2022, the pre-order sales of SEVENTEEN’s fourth studio Face The Sun, which will be released on May 27, skyrocketed to 2 million copies globally. The thirteen-member group has now set a new record once again, a week before their much-anticipated comeback to the K-pop music industry.
Earlier, with the pre-order sales of Face The Sun surpassing 1.74 million copies within a week, many K-media outlets predicted a career high for the group in the coming days.
The total number of pre-orders is the bulk of the album stock that is initially produced before an album’s official release. The figure is the estimated demand calculated using various factors, including the number of pre-order copies of a specific album by fans.
As proven by the pre-order stock of the album exceeding expectations, fans are eagerly waiting for the new record streak that SEVENTEEN will make with the official release of their upcoming fourth studio album. The group, reborn as the most trending artist in the K-pop music scene worldwide by booking a million-seller for six consecutive years, won the title of 'Double Million Seller' with Face The Sun.
The group’s upcoming album, which talks about their ambition of becoming the only and most influential “Sun” or guiding light in the world, includes the group’s first-ever English track Dar+ling, which was released last month. The album will also include the title song Hot, along with other tracks such as Don Quixote, March, Domino, Shadow, Sing Me, If You Leave Me, and Ash.
