economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Seventeen, the sensational K-pop group, continues to make history in the music industry. Following their record-breaking first-week sales on the Hanteo chart with FML, the group has now achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first K-pop artist ever to sell over 6 million copies of a single album. The achievement was confirmed by YG PLUS, Seventeen's album distributor, who revealed that the Pledis Entertainment group has surpassed the extraordinary milestone of selling 6.2 million copies of their 10th mini album, FML, within a mere three months. This remarkable accomplishment solidifies their status as trendsetters in the industry and demonstrates the unwavering support from their dedicated fanbase. It seems Seventeen's leader, S.Coups, was right when he mentioned the group's subtle and steady growth. Previously, FML had already made waves in the music scene by breaking the record for the highest first-week sales on the Hanteo chart. Furthermore, Seventeen had even surpassed BTS' long-standing record for the most pre-ordered K-pop album, accumulating an impressive 4.64 million pre-orders. However, their achievement was soon outdone by Stray Kids, who achieved over 5 million pre-orders for their third studio album, 5 STAR. The highly-anticipated 10th mini album, FML, marked Seventeen's comeback on April 24. With its captivating double title tracks, «Super,» the album generated substantial excitement among fans. In addition to these hit tracks, FML also featured three unit songs, namely «Fire» by the Hip-hop Team, «Dust» by the Vocal Team, and «I Don't Understand but I Luv U» by the Performance Team. The album's diverse and melodic content was further enriched by the inclusion of the group number "April Shower."
