Most albums cool off after the first few weeks. Not this one. More than two months after release, Stray Kids’ “THIS & THAT” is climbing again, and the numbers are impressive.
Stray Kids: A New Personal Best
This week, the group’s 10th mini album rose to No. 29 on the Billboard 200 in its ninth consecutive week on the chart. That’s the highest ninth-week ranking of any Stray Kids album, a new record for the group. It debuted at No. 1 in August, so this late-run strength shows real staying power.
This Week’s Chart Scorecard
| Chart | Position | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Billboard 200 | No. 29 | 9th consecutive week |
| World Albums | No. 1 | 7th non-consecutive week at No. 1 |
| Top Album Sales | No. 3 | 3rd best-selling album in the US this week |
| Artist 100 | No. 29 | 151st overall week |
Why This Matters?
Debut-week success is common in K-pop, thanks to fan-driven pre-orders. Holding a spot that long is harder, and it suggests sustained demand rather than a one-week spike. Rising to No. 3 on Top Album Sales so many weeks after release is a big part of that story.
The group’s 151 weeks on the Artist 100 also shows a long-term presence, not just a single hit era. To learn more about how the group rose to fame, check out the Stray Kids Wikipedia page.
The Takeaway
Longevity is the new flex. Stray Kids are proving that a strong album can keep working long after the comeback hype fades.
