Seventeen's 10th EP, "FML," secured the prestigious International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) Global Album Award for being the best-selling album worldwide in the past year. This marks Seventeen's first IFPI Global Charts Award. IFPI, a London-based nonprofit organization representing the global recording industry, awards the top position to the artist whose album claims No. 1 on the IFPI Global Album Chart. The chart evaluates an album's global sales across streaming, download, and physical music formats. "FML," released in April 2023, attained the status of the most pre-ordered LP in K-pop history.

Seventeen's subsequent release, the 11th EP titled "Seventeenth Heaven," released in October 2023, also made a significant impact, securing the No. 8 spot on the IFPI Global Album Chart. In a remarkable achievement, the group reached a career-high last year by selling over 16 million copies of its albums "FML" and "Seventeenth Heaven."
Lewis Morrison, Director of Global Charts and Certifications at IFPI, acknowledged Seventeen's global appeal and commended their contributions to pushing boundaries in concepts, performances, and talent.
Stray Kids, another prominent K-pop boy group, achieved notable success on the same chart. Their third studio album, "5-Star," and eighth EP, "Rock-Star," secured the No. 2 and No. 9 positions, respectively. Stray Kids made waves in the global music market with "Rock-Star," topping the Billboard 200 chart for four consecutive weeks. The lead track from the album, "Lalalala," marked a significant milestone by earning the group its first entry on Billboard's Hot 100.
NCT Dream, another force in the K-pop scene, made its debut on the chart with the third studio album, "ISTJ," claiming the No. 6 position.
