Seventeen continues to dominate Japan’s music scene, achieving two crowns on the Oricon charts with their fourth Japanese single, Shohikigen (消費期限). According to Oricon's latest rankings dated December 9, the group clinched the top spot on the "Weekly Combined Singles Ranking," a chart that aggregates CD sales, digital downloads, and streaming figures. The single earned an impressive 427,343 points, underscoring Seventeen's powerful presence in the Japanese market.
In terms of physical album sales, Shohikigen delivered exceptional results, selling 418,202 copies through Oricon-certified channels alone. This marks the group's fourth release to reach number one on the chart, cementing their status as one of the most successful international artists in Japan. Furthermore, the 427,343 points accumulated by the single represent the highest weekly total for a foreign artist’s single album in Japan this year, setting a new benchmark for global acts in the region.
The group's achievements extend beyond Oricon. Shohikigen also claimed the top spot on Billboard Japan’s "Top Single Sales" chart (dated December 4). Meanwhile, the title track debuted at number two on the "Hot 100," reflecting its widespread popularity across multiple platforms.
Seventeen is also engaging fans through their ongoing dome tour, Right Here. After an electrifying performance at Tokyo Dome on December 5, the group is set to bring their energetic show to Kyocera Dome in Osaka and Fukuoka PayPay Dome. Their connection with fans during these large-scale events highlights their deep influence and wide-reaching appeal.
Adding to their busy schedule, Seventeen is slated to perform at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards in Los Angeles on December 13 (KST). They are also nominated for an award, showcasing their growing recognition on the global stage.
Seventeen’s remarkable success reflects their ability to seamlessly blend local and international markets. The triumph of Shohikigen not only demonstrates their popularity in Japan but also highlights their role as cultural ambassadors, bridging the gap between K-pop and global audiences. As the group continues to break records and captivate fans worldwide, their impact on the music industry remains undeniable.
