K-Pop icon SEVENTEEN is back with a bang as they mark their ninth anniversary with the drop of their highly anticipated Best Album, “[17 IS RIGHT HERE]”.
To celebrate this milestone release and honor their fans’ unwavering dedication over the years, SEVENTEEN has teamed up with Spotify – the world’s most popular audio streaming subscription service, to let listeners in on the fun with an exclusive array of bonus content.
Having touched the hearts and lives of CARATs (SEVENTEEN fans) from across the globe, the group’s streaming numbers have soared since joining Spotify in 2016, tracking an average year-on-year growth of over 95%. Today, the group’s top markets on Spotify span the US, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore and Mexico – a testament to the power of their music in transcending regional boundaries, languages and cultures.
SEVENTEEN, TO THE WORLD
To kick off the celebrations, Spotify has unveiled a mesmerizing CGI video symbolic of the global album rollout on its platform. Premiered on @SpotifyKpop on X, the video follows the journey of a larger-than-life “[17 IS RIGHT HERE]” vinyl through majestic landscapes and into the city.
As the vinyl traverses its path, it encounters a building that transforms into a colossal record wall, adorned with SEVENTEEN’s illustrious discography spanning nine years. The display, stacked with the group’s albums, serves as a visual tribute to the group’s artistic legacy enjoyed by millions of CARATs around the world. Watch the full video here.
For more of SEVENTEEN, Spotify is also rolling out exclusive bonus content on its K-Pop ON! YouTube and video podcast channels to bring fans closer to S.COUPS, JEONGHAN, JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WONWOO, WOOZI, THE 8, MINGYU, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON and DINO.
