&TEAM Breaks Personal Best with Over 1.35 Million Copies Sold in First Week for New Album, Tops Hanteo Weekly and World Charts

HYBE's global group &TEAM has achieved million-seller status for four consecutive works while breaking their own personal best for first-week album sales.

According to the Hanteo Chart on September 15, &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, claiming the No. 1 spot on the weekly physical album chart for the tracking period of September 7 to 13.

This performance surpasses the 1,222,022 copies sold in the first week 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 on the chart and broke their previous record with just six days of tracking data.

The album also secured the top position in the global category of the Hanteo Chart "World Chart," which aggregates national album sales and digital streaming data over the same period. Having started their journey in Japan and expanding their active scope across Asia, including South Korea, and into the United States, &TEAM continues to set new milestones with every album they release.

"Mark on Me" is an album that blends the emotion of "love" into &TEAM's signature identity of "wolf DNA." The album captures the transformation of a wolf encountering "you," who accepted them as they are, across six tracks spanning diverse genres such as pop, hip-hop, R&B, and rock. The nine members showcase their broadened musical spectrum through distinct vocal textures on each track. On music shows, they have solidified their presence by exhibiting contrasting charms through "Mark on Me," which portrays emotional lines with gazes and expressions, and "Good Boy," which highlights intense synchronized choreography.

Their leap forward extends to even larger stages. &TEAM recently successfully wrapped up 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 performances, they plan to unveil tracks from "Mark on Me" for the first time on tour.
