Billboard's World Albums chart for the week ending Oct. 10 has &TEAM's mini album "Mark on Me" back at No. 1 after a re-entry. It is the first album by the group to top the chart. The release also gave &TEAM its highest placement yet on the Billboard 200, where it debuted in the top 20. [1]

The top of the table

Stray Kids' mini album "THIS & THAT" slipped to No. 2 in its eighth week on the chart, after six non-consecutive weeks at No. 1. The same album held at No. 34 on the Billboard 200. ENHYPEN's "THE SIN : BLISS" rose to No. 3 in its sixth week and climbed back to No. 161 on the Billboard 200. CORTIS's EP "GREENGREEN" stayed at No. 5 in its 22nd week, and ILLIT's "MAMIHLAPINATAPAI" moved up to No. 6 in its 22nd week. [1]

Older albums keep their place

Several long-running titles sit alongside the new releases. BTS's 2022 anthology album "Proof" jumped to No. 7 in its 225th week, while the group's 2020 Japanese album "Map of the Soul: 7 ~The Journey~" stayed at No. 15 in its 48th week. Stray Kids' 2025 album "KARMA" returned to No. 23 in its 55th week. CORTIS's debut EP "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" placed No. 9 in its 56th week, and NewJeans' "Get Up" was No. 19 in its 160th week. The list shows catalog albums holding space beside current releases. [1]

Solo and newer entries

EVAN, formerly Heeseung of ENHYPEN, placed his first mini album "DEATH OF ME" at No. 8 in its fourth week. That EP had entered the Billboard 200 at No. 49 on the chart dated Oct. 3, his first appearance there. LE SSERAFIM's "PUREFLOW" rose to No. 11 in its 19th week. ATEEZ's "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" held at No. 14 in its 14th week, TUIDE's debut EP "TUNE & PLAY" ranked No. 17 in its third week, and aespa's "LEMONADE" was No. 18 in its 18th week. [1][2]

What could shift the ranking

ATEEZ's next EP, "Golden Hour: Part. 6," is set for Nov. 13, about five months after Part. 5. That earlier EP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. ILLIT has a fifth mini album, "BREAK EVEN," due Oct. 26. Both releases could change the order in coming weeks. This is an inference, since neither has charted yet. [3][4]
