Stray Kids just rewrote the record books again. The group’s new mini album, “This & That,” has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking their ninth chart topping album and the biggest sales week of their career.
The eight track set moved 369,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with traditional sales making up 357,000 of that total. It’s the group’s best performance yet, edging past their previous high with “Karma” in 2024.
The achievement puts Stray Kids in rarefied company. They now tie the Rolling Stones for the second most No. 1 albums by a group in Billboard 200 history, trailing only the Beatles’ 19. Every single one of the group’s nine chart entries has debuted at the top, a feat no act has matched in the chart’s 70 year run.
Overseas, the numbers are just as staggering. According to Hanteo Chart, “This & That” sold roughly 3.28 million copies in Korea during its first week, making it the group’s fourth album to cross the 3 million mark and the second best selling release of 2026 behind BTS’s “Arirang.”
The album’s title track has already topped domestic download charts, and its stage performances have become a talking point among fans for their high energy choreography.
Elsewhere on this week’s Billboard 200, Ariana Grande’s “Petal” slips to No. 2, while Karol G’s “No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto” and Drake’s “Iceman” round out the top 10.
With nine albums in and zero signs of slowing down, Stray Kids’ chart dominance shows no sign of letting up anytime soon.
