YG PLUS, the album distributor, revealed on October 23 that Seventeen's 11th mini-album, 'SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN,' had amassed an impressive 5,206,718 pre-orders. This unprecedented number of pre-orders, encompassing domestic and international sales, establishes a new record as the highest pre-order volume ever attained by a K-pop album in the industry's history. The previous record was held by Stray Kids as their album '5-STAR' had a total of 5.1 million pre-orders earlier in the year.
Compared to data collected on October 12 (4,673,069 copies), it is evident that 'SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN' has eclipsed the previous number set by Seventeen's earlier mini-album, 'FML.' This makes the new album a record-setter for the highest pre-order quantity in Seventeen's discography.
'SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN' is a musical feast, offering a medley of eight tracks. These include "SOS," produced by DJ Marshmello; the album's eponymous title track, "God of Music"; "Diamond Days"; "Back 2 Back" from the performance team; the hip-hop team's track "Monster"; the vocal team's number, "Yawn"; along with "Headliner," and 'God of Music (Inst.).'
This latest collection of tracks features the creative talent of Woozi, who spearheaded the project as the producer, with significant contributions from S.Coups, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Mingyu, and Vernon in terms of writing and composing the songs.
The title track, "God of Music," showcases a perfect blend of funky, soulful, and brass-based elements. On listening to this track, audiences are sure to experience the cheerful synths and brass sounds, creating a harmonious fusion. It's a festival-like, catchy tune that embodies the energy of 'happiness' that Seventeen aims to convey in their music.
The highly-anticipated album was officially launched on October 23 at 6 p.m. Through this album, Seventeen continues to break barriers and set new K-pop industry records.

Congratulations!
Well. Before some people come and say, "Well, another trash thrown to orphanage..."
Please do remember that behind those albums, the composer, staff, and other employees of the company working so hard for this album too. They deserve appreciation with material, not just some pretty words. The company signed for recycling and sustainable materials for albums since August. Seventeen members already said please buy the album in moderation and don't throw the rest away. If fans still do it, please don't hold back and held them accountable.
