The 13-membered, South Korean Boy Group, SEVENTEEN sweeps Japan's "HMV Best of 2020" year-end album chart top 10.

Based on the chart, SEVENTEEN dominated the list as they bagged the top four spots as well as claiming five places out of the top ten. 

The group's second Japanese single album, "Fallin' Flower," which was released last April 1,  ranked first. It debuted at No. 1 on Oricon's daily singles chart and was certified couple platinum by The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) after it sold over 500,000 units. 

Then, it was followed by their seventh Korean mini-album, "Heng:garæ" in second place. As soon as it was released on June 22, it topped Hanteo's weekly charts and even made SEVENTEEN official million-sellers after it sold a million copies in less than a week. 

Meanwhile, placing third on the top 10 is their second Japanese mini-album "24H," while their recent Korean special album "; [Semicolon]" placed fourth.

Their September 9 release of "24H" debuted at No. 1 on Oricon Weekly Album Chart and was certified platinum by the RIAJ, a month later, after it sold 250,000 copies. In addition, SEVENTEEN's latest release with "Semicolon" was also a huge success. It became their second album to sell more than one million. 

In addition, the boy group from Pledis Entertainment claimed tenth place with their September 2019 release,  "An Ode."
