## Stray Kids Slip, But Stay Strong

After six non-consecutive weeks at the top, Stray Kids’ *THIS & THAT* moved down to No. 2 in its eighth week. It still holds steady at No. 34 on the Billboard 200. Their 2025 album *KARMA* is also climbing, back up to No. 23 in its 55th week, which shows how long their music keeps its pull.

## The Long-Run Champions

Some of the most interesting numbers are about staying power:

| Artist | Album | Rank | Weeks on Chart |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BTS | Proof | 7 | 225th |
| NewJeans | Get Up | 19 | 160th |
| CORTIS | COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES | 9 | 56th |
| Stray Kids | KARMA | 23 | 55th |

BTS’s *Proof* has been on the chart for 225 weeks, and it jumped to No. 7 this time. That’s a reminder that great albums can keep finding listeners long after release.

## Rest of the Chart
