HYBE’s Global Group &TEAM Dominates Billboard, Debuting at No.1 on Emerging Artists Chart

HYBE’s Japan-based global group &TEAM has reached a new milestone, debuting at No.1 on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart while simultaneously securing spots on five major Billboard charts—a testament to their rapidly accelerating global presence.

The Billboard Emerging Artists chart spotlights the most influential rising acts each week, using a combined metric of streaming numbers, album sales, radio airplay, and social engagement. Topping this chart signals not only popularity but strong, sustainable momentum in the global music landscape. Alongside this achievement, &TEAM ranked No.5 on World Albums, No.12 on Top Current Album Sales, No.13 on Top Album Sales, and No.78 on the Artist 100, powered by the success of their Korean debut release, Back to Life.

The group has been on a historic rise. Earlier this month, &TEAM became the first Japan-based group to surpass one million CD sales in both Japan and South Korea, an unprecedented accomplishment for a rookie act. The music video for Back to Life has also soared past 30 million views in less than five days, while their U.S. listenership continues to grow at an explosive pace—increasing 2.4 times on Spotify and 3.8 times on Apple Music.

With global momentum intensifying, &TEAM is positioned for even greater breakthroughs, reinforcing their status as one of the most dynamic and promising rising groups on the international stage.

&TEAM is a nine-member global group under HYBE JAPAN’s YX LABELS, consisting of EJ, FUMA, K, NICHOLAS, YUMA, JO, HARUA, TAKI, and MAKI. Born from the vision of “nine unique souls united as one team and bridging diverse worlds”, &TEAM pulses with unmatched energy and passion. Together, they evolve and grow, ready to share their music to the world and captivate audiences worldwide.
