Boy group Seventeen (S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino) have been on the "Global Artist Chart" released by the International Association of Record Industry (IFPI) for five consecutive years.

According to IFPI on the 18th (local time), Seventeen ranked 14th in the "2025 Global Artist Chart 2025." Every year, IFPI releases rankings up to the 'Top 20' by summing up global physical record sales, digital sound source downloads, and streaming figures.

SEVENTEEN has consistently maintained its ranking since 2021 when it was first listed at No. 9 on the chart. Only two K-pop artists, Seventeen and BTS, have entered the IFPI 'Global Artist Chart' for five consecutive years.

SEVENTEEN released a total of four albums last year, including their fifth full-length album "HAPPY BURSTDAY," BSSSUN's second single "TELEPARTY," Hoshi X Woozi's first single "BEAM," and S.Coups X Mingyu's first mini album "HYPE VIBES," showing the true value of "Super IDOL."

Among them, "HAPPY BURSTDAY" ranked second on the main Billboard album chart "Billboards 200," and "HYPE VIBES" broke the top ranking of K-pop unit albums on the same chart. Thanks to the even performances of groups and units, Seventeen also dominated the 1st to 13th place in the "2025 Billboard K-pop Artist 100."

Seventeen's wide-ranging moves continue this year. First, Dokyeom X Seungkwan, who is a group of the team's two main vocalists, released his first mini album "Soya Song" in January and topped the domestic and international music charts with the ballad genre's title song "Blue." Another unit, S.Coups X Mingyu, continues "CxM [DOUBLE UP] LIVE PARTY" in five cities at home and abroad.

The world tour will also continue. Seventeen will hold "SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR [NEW_] IN ASIA" at large stadiums in major Asian cities, starting with Kaitak Stadium in Hong Kong on the 28th and the 1st of next month. An encore concert will be held at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on April 4-5 to mark the end of the seven-month world tour.
