This makes them the third male foreign artist in history to top the chart with three (3) consecutive albums. The other two were Simon & Gafunkel in 1971 and Bay City Rollers in 1977— Seventeen is the third one after 2 decades.

They stayed on the weekly album chart for two(2) consecutive weeks with their 7th mini album and this is the first time after 12 years and 8 months since Backstreet Boys' "unbreakable" in 2007.

to sum it all up, Seventeen is the third male foreign artist to top in weekly albums chart with their 3 consecutive albums after more than 2 decades, and the first male artists to top on the same chart in 2 consecutive weeks with just one album after Backstreet Boys in 2007.
