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.

Spotify will also take listeners behind the scenes of SEVENTEEN’s K-Pop ON! shoot on the 14th of May.
