Label history

Team Wang is an international record label, originating from China.[6] Jackson Wang founded Team Wang in 2017, and subsequently, the label's first release was Wang's hit single, "Papillon", which made a significant impact in the Chinese music industry.[7] Released on 26 August 2017, the all English track is Wang's first solo single.[8]

On 25 October 2019, Team Wang released Wang's first full-length English album, Mirrors. The album reached #1 on Billboard's independent music chart.[9] Mirrors also made history, reaching #32 on the Billboard 200, the highest-charting debut album ever from a Chinese artist.[10] The album featured American rapper GoldLink and Indonesian rapper Rich Brian.[11][12]

Other Team Wang releases include Wang's singles "100 Ways" and "Pretty Please", a collaboration with Swedish dance music duo Galantis.[13] In December 2020, the label released Wang's Chinese single, "Should've Let Go", with JJ Lin.
