&TEAM's latest album 'Mark on Me' jumped from No. 193 the previous week to No. 1 on Oricon's latest weekly album ranking (dated October 5, tracking September 21–27), announced on the 29th in Japan. Following their previous album 'We on Fire', it is their fourth consecutive and sixth overall No. 1 album. Weekly sales reached 511,000 copies, making it their third straight release to exceed 500,000. It is the second work this year by Oricon's count (from the chart dated December 22, 2025) to top 500,000 in weekly sales after 'We on Fire', and &TEAM are currently the only artist this year with two albums that have surpassed 500,000 in weekly sales. 'Mark on Me' also ranked No. 1 on Billboard JAPAN's weekly Top Albums Sales chart for the same period with 638,536 copies, far ahead of second-place M!LK's 'LOVE ENG!NE' (29,137 copies). 'Mark on Me' is &TEAM's second Korean mini album, released on September 8 in Korea and September 21 in Japan. It tells a story in which the emotion of 'love' takes hold for the first time within the instincts of the 'wolf', the group's identity, and contains six songs spanning pop, hip-hop, R&B and rock, with contributors including Benson Boone and Griff Clawson. The title track 'Mark on Me' is a pop song with a piano melody and a dramatic build, expressing the wish to be tamed by 'you', who embraced even their scars.
