&TEAM Reaches No. 20 on the Billboard 200
Billboard’s tracking period for this chart ran from September 25 to October 1, 2026. That window sits nearly three weeks after Mark on Me’s September 8 release in Korea, meaning the No. 20 debut reflects sustained U.S. activity rather than a single release-week spike. For North American fans, this result places &TEAM inside the top 20 of the main U.S. albums chart for the first time in the group’s history.
How Mark on Me Compares With We on Fire
&TEAM’s previous Billboard 200 peak was No. 52, set with We on Fire. The jump to No. 20 marks a 32-spot improvement between releases. According to Mynavi News, No. 20 is now the highest Billboard 200 position ever achieved by a boy group originating from Japan, surpassing every prior mark set by the group or its peers in that category.
The Album’s Full U.S. Chart Results
Beyond the Billboard 200, Mark on Me topped the World Albums chart at No. 1. It also reached No. 3 on Top Album Sales, a chart that measures pure sales volume rather than combined streaming and sales data. &TEAM’s own chart position on the Artist 100, which tracks overall artist activity across the U.S., climbed to a career-high No. 18.
Sales and Music-Show Momentum Before the U.S. Debut
Mark on Me sold 1,357,357 copies during its first week, September 8 through 14. That total broke &TEAM’s previous first-week record of 1,238,907 copies, set by We on Fire. The album’s commercial run in Korea included a quick turnaround on music shows: &TEAM earned its first trophy for the title track on the September 18 episode of Music Bank, finishing with 8,458 points.
