The global group &TEAM, originating from Japan, released its Korean 2nd mini album "Mark on Me" in Korea on Tuesday, September 8, and in Japan on Monday, September 21, and recorded sales of 1,357,357 copies in one week after release on Hanteo Chart’s weekly album chart (counting period: September 7 to 13), proudly taking first place. This record is a new personal best, surpassing the first-week sales of their Korean debut album "Back to Life," released last October, which was 1,222,022 copies. Following achieving a million sales on the first day of release, they overturned the previous work’s first-week record with only six days of counting in practice, once again proving &TEAM’s overwhelming momentum and growth in the global market. Furthermore, they also took first place in the global category of Hanteo’s "World Chart," which is calculated comprehensively from country-by-country album sales and music streaming counts during the same period, achieving a double crown. This work, "Mark on Me," is a piece that depicts a story in which the emotion of "love" first truly dwells in the instinct of "wolf," which is the group’s identity. The change brought about by encountering an existence that accepted them as they are was expressed through all six songs with diverse styles such as pop, hip-hop, R&B, and rock. &TEAM, which successfully held its first solo dome concert at Belluna Dome in Saitama last weekend, is scheduled to hold "2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' ENCORE in KSPO DOME" at KSPO DOME in Seoul on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4. At that performance, the stage for the songs included in this work "Mark on Me" is scheduled to be performed for the first time on the tour, and expectations are rising for their future developments as they gain momentum as a "perfect and flawless stage elite group."
