[Dispatch=Reporter Tae Yoon Jung] &TEAM has demonstrated powerful album strength.
Oricon released its latest chart on the 28th. &TEAM claimed first place on the weekly album ranking (May 4 / counting period April 20-26) with their Japanese mini album 'We on Fire', released on the 21st.
'We on Fire' also topped Billboard Japan's 'Top Album Sales' (counting period April 20-26). The group demonstrated formidable presence by sweeping Japan's two major physical album sales charts.
The album sold a total of 1,117,354 copies during its first week of release (April 20-27, based on Hunter Chart). It achieved three consecutive million-seller releases following Japan's third single 'Go in Blind' and the Korean mini album 'Back to Life'.
'We on Fire' is an album that captures &TEAM's ambitious aspirations and determination to soar to greater heights. The album features the title track of the same name along with six songs of various genres.
These include 'Bewitched', which showcases intense rock sound; 'Hotline', with its upbeat and catchy melody; 'Sakura-iro Yell', a ballad with spring sensibility; and Korean versions of 'We on Fire' and 'Bewitched'.
The momentum continues. &TEAM will embark on an Asian tour 'Blaze the Way' starting the 13th of next month. On June 18, the group is scheduled to headline the large-scale charity concert 'Global Citizen Live' being held in Tokyo, Japan.
