Seventeen’s 12th EP sold more than 2.49 million copies on its release day, agency Pledis Entertainment said Tuesday, citing a local tally.
The EP “Spill The Feels” was released Monday and became an instant double million-seller, as did the group's previous compilation album “17 Is Right Here” in April.
The new mini album debuted atop the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 18 regions and the main track “Love, Money, Fame (feat. DJ Khaled)” claimed the No. 1 spot on real-time music charts at home.
The band unveiled the main track in advance at its concert over the weekend which drew about 58,000 fans over two days. The concert opened the “Right Here” tour which resumes in Chicago next week. The 13 members will visit four more US cities before heading to Japan.
