According to the Hanteo Chart on the 4th, &TEAM's first Korean mini album "Back to
"Life" sold a total of 1,222,022 copies in its first week of release (October 28th to November 3rd). This is the highest sales (by any Korean album released in October) for a Korean album.
This is a result that ranks among the best this year overall. "Back to Life" sold 1,139,988 copies on the first day of its release, making it a million-seller.
This marks &TEAM's second consecutive million-seller, following their previous third single in Japan, "Go in Blind," proving their explosive growth.
On the same day, Oricon also released the "Weekly Album Ranking" (dated November 10th, calculation period: October 27th to November 2nd) and "Back to
"Life" took first place. The only Japanese artist to top Oricon's "Weekly Album Ranking" with a Korean album is "&TEAM."
This achievement by &TEAM goes beyond a mere album sales record and can be seen as a symbol of cross-border integration and mutual growth in the global music market.
HYBE's "multi-home, multi-genre" strategy, which is expanding its influence by transplanting its K-pop production system to the global music market, also suggests that it is becoming more mature.
"Back to Life" is an album that condenses the strong unity and growth of "&TEAM." The team's identity, "Wolf DNA," and HYBE's "Global DNA"
Based on the song "A," the group has an instinctive and challenging energy. "&TEAM," which debuted in Japan in 2023, has appeared in various content such as Korean music programs and variety shows.
With their impressive performances in both Korea and Japan, fans are looking forward to seeing the global activities that "&TEAM" will carry out in the future.
I'm waiting.
