On Japan’s largest music statistics site Oricon, “An Ode” has taken No. 2 on the weekly album chart, weekly combined album chart, and weekly digital album chart. It also grabs No. 1 on the weekly overseas album chart.

The album has also been a hit in Korea and around the world, with the success of “An Ode” making SEVENTEEN only the third Korean artist to record over 700,000 first week sales on the Hanteo chart.

SEVENTEEN made their official debut in Japan in May 2018 and took No. 1 on Oricon’s year-end Indies Album chart (for albums that were not distributed by a major label in Japan). They went on to release their first Japanese single “Happy Ending” in June of this year and recorded over 250,000 sales in the first week. Their new album “An Ode” includes a Korean version of “Happy Ending.”
