&TEAM, U.S. 'Billboard 200' No. 20…Highest Ranking for Japanese Boy Group

[Dispatch=Lee Myeong-ju] &TEAM achieved a record-breaking performance on the Billboard chart.

According to the latest Billboard US chart count (as of the 10th), &TEAM took 20th place on the "Billboard 200" with their Korean mini-album second release "Mark on Me".

This is their highest ranking to date and marks their second entry on the Billboard main album chart in total. It is also the highest ranking ever for a Japanese boy group.

They also showed strong performance on detailed charts. "Mark on Me" ranked 1st on "World Albums" and 3rd on "Top Album Sales". On "Artist 100", they secured 18th place.

This achievement came from their activities on a global stage. They performed at the Grammy Museum's "Global Spin Live" in August and "KCON LA 2026".

They were also active not only in Japan but in Korea as well. &TEAM released "Mark on Me" on the 8th of last month. They achieved a career high with first-week sales of 1,357,356 copies.

Meanwhile, &TEAM is a group formed in Japan in 2022. Under HYBE's "multi-home multi-genre" strategy, they are realizing the "Beyond Japan" vision.
