Hybe global group &TEAM has achieved million-seller status for four consecutive releases while breaking their own personal record for first-week sales.
According to Hanteo Chart on the 15th, &TEAM's second Korean mini album "Mark on Me" sold a total of 1,357,357 copies during the first week following its release on the 8th, taking first place on the weekly physical album chart for the tracking period of September 7 to 13.
This figure surpasses the first-week sales of 1,222,022 achieved by their Korean debut album "Back to Life," released in October of last year. Notably, &TEAM's rapid growth stands out as they clinched the top spot and broke their previous record with just six days of tracking data.
The album also claimed the top spot on the global category of the Hanteo Chart "World Chart," which aggregates country-by-country album sales and streaming data over the same period. Having started in Japan and expanded their scope of activities across Asia, including South Korea, and the United States, &TEAM continues to set new milestones with every album they release.
"Mark on Me" is an album that adds the emotion of love to &TEAM's identity of "wolf DNA." It captures the image of a wolf changing upon meeting "you" who accepted them as they are, expressed across six tracks spanning diverse genres such as pop, hip-hop, R&B, and rock. The nine members showcase their broadened musical world through vocals with distinct textures on each track. On music shows, they left a strong impression by displaying contrasting charms through "Mark on Me," which portrays emotional lines through gazes and facial expressions, and "Good Boy," which highlights intense synchronized choreography.
Their leap forward extends to a bigger stage. &TEAM recently successfully completed their first solo dome concert since debut at the Belluna Dome in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. On October 3 and 4, they will hold the "2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' ENCORE in KSPO DOME" at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, Seoul. At the KSPO Dome concert, they plan to perform tracks from "Mark on Me" for the first time on their tour.
