It had also got Seventeen their first entry on Billboard 200. It had also topped Gaon Music Chart and Billboard World Albums Chart while the title track ‘Ready to Love’ had four music show wins. But it looks like ‘Attacca’ is about to break that record since it was a success even before its release.

So, with the pre-orders alone, the album has already reached the total sales of ‘Your Choice’ which is also at the moment 1.4 million copies. Additionally, ‘Attacca’ has crossed 481k sales on the first day.
