&TEAM 'Mark on Me' Billboard 200 No. 20: Career High
&TEAM's second Korean mini album, "Mark on Me," debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard 200, the group's highest placement on the U.S. album chart. Billboard's latest charts were announced October 7 KST, according to allkpop. The previous best was No. 52, set by the EP "We on Fire" on the chart dated May 30, when &TEAM became the first Japan-originated boy group to enter the Billboard 200. "Mark on Me" is their second entry.
The album also took No. 1 on Billboard's World Albums chart, a first for &TEAM. It placed No. 3 on Top Album Sales, which counts only purchases, and the group landed at No. 18 on the Artist 100. "We on Fire" had debuted at No. 2 on both Top Album Sales and World Albums, according to Japanese outlet The First Times, so the sales-only chart put the new album one spot lower even as the main chart rank rose by 32 places.
At home, Hanteo Chart says "Mark on Me" sold 1,369,950 copies in September alone. &TEAM topped Hanteo's monthly album chart and its monthly world chart. The album came out September 8 in Korea, with a Japanese edition following on September 21. The title track was produced by Griff Clawson, who has worked with BLACKPINK's Rosé and NCT, the Kyunghyang Shinmun's English edition reported.
The numbers continue a run that began with the group's Korean debut. "Back to Life," released in October 2025, made &TEAM the first Japanese act to sell a million copies in both Korea and Japan. "We on Fire" sold more than 1.09 million copies globally on its first day, The First Times reported, giving the group three consecutive million-sellers before "Mark on Me" arrived.
Two other K-pop acts appeared in the same chart report. Jennie's "Dracula" placed No. 10 on the Hot 100, extending her record for the most consecutive weeks a K-pop artist has spent in the top 10 to 19. Stray Kids held at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 for the eighth straight week.
The chart move follows a heavy live schedule. &TEAM played their first standalone dome concerts this fall: Belluna Dome in Saitama on September 5 and 6, then KSPO Dome in Seoul on October 3 and 4, which closed the Asia tour "Blaze the Way." Both runs were billed as firsts for the group in Japan and Korea, respectively.
Their first U.S. performances came only in August, at the Grammy Museum's Global Spin Live event on August 12 and at KCON LA on August 14. The Billboard 200 debut arrived less than two months after.
