SEVENTEEN's "Face the Sun" has become the boy group's album with the most stock pre-orders in their career.
Read on to know how many pre-orders were calculated so far.
SEVENTEEN's 'Face the Sun' Pre-Order Sales Figure Becomes Group's Highest to Date
On May 20, the album distributor YG PLUS announced that SEVENTEEN's fourth studio album "Face the Sun" had exceeded two million stock pre-orders - recording the group's highest pre-order volume to date.
Earlier this month, YG PLUS revealed that the stock pre-orders for "Face the Sun" reached 1.74 million only a week after the pre-order sales began, signaling a new career-high for the group in terms of physical sales.

With 1.7 million stock pre-orders, SEVENTEEN's "Face the Sun" had already broken the band's personal record for highest pre-order amount. Their latest mini-album "Attacca" only had 1.4 million stock pre-orders in September of last year.
Now, "Face the Sun" has extended its record as SEVENTEEN's most pre-ordered album, crossing two million stock pre-orders seven days before its official release.
As there's still a week left before the group's comeback on May 27 at 1 p.m. KST, it remains to be seen whether the album's pre-order volume will grow over the next seven days.
Interest is also now focused on whether SEVENTEEN would be able to earn a "double-million seller" title with "Face the Sun" alone.

"Face the Sun" includes the band's first English song "Darl+ing," which was released last month, and the title song "HOT" as well as seven other B-side songs like "DON QUIXOTE," "MARCH," "DOMINO," and more.
SEVENTEEN's "HOT" is a song that combines the hip-hop genre with the western guitar sound. It shows the group's unique heavy and passionate identity, and at the same time, reveals a strong will to become "The Sun" in this world. Moreover, it is a track that intensely depicts the image of SEVENTEEN who bravely advances their own path in the face of the scorching sun.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN will hold a comeback show for their fourth studio album "Face the Sun" on May 28 at 7 p.m. KST. The event will be broadcast live worldwide through the HYBE Labels YouTube channel, Naver Now, and Line Music.
