Why this 100M means more than “just another” record?
“Walkin On Water” dropped as the lead single from the SKZhop hiptape Hop, leaning hard into the group’s signature self-produced hip-hop sound while introducing the “SKZhop” tag as its own mini-genre. 2
Stack that against what they’ve built over the years—self-produced tracks, world tours, and a long line of chart-topping albums—and this 19th 100M MV feels less like a fluke and more like confirmation of just how massive their global fandom has become. 3
With “Walkin On Water” joining a lineup that already includes “God’s Menu,” “Back Door,” “Thunderous,” “MANIAC,” “Chk Chk Boom,” “MEGAVERSE,” “CHEESE,” “CEREMONY,” and “DO IT,” Stray Kids continue to hold one of the strongest 100M MV portfolios among 4th-gen boy groups. 1
