Nine for nine, no misses. Every full-length and mini-album Stray Kids has released to date has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — a track record that speaks for itself.
The group's latest album "THIS & THAT" topped the Billboard 200 chart dated August 22 (U.S. time), marking their ninth No. 1. According to Billboard, the album racked up 369,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the tracking week ending August 13 — Stray Kids' best single-week performance since debut — with traditional physical album sales alone accounting for 357,000 copies.
The milestone ties Stray Kids with The Rolling Stones for nine No. 1s, making them the act with the second-most chart-topping albums in Billboard 200 history, trailing only The Beatles. Billboard also noted that Stray Kids are the first group in history to have each of their first nine charting titles debut at No. 1, and they also hold the record for the most No. 1 albums by any act so far this century.
"THIS & THAT" also posted the sixth-highest weekly equivalent album units of 2026 so far, while its physical sales rank second for the year, trailing only BTS' "ARIRANG." Billboard attributed the strong first-week momentum to a rollout strategy spanning 17 CD and vinyl versions — each including a randomized collectible item — alongside eight digital download versions.
