Stray Kids has made history again on Billboard! On August 16, 2026, Billboard announced that their latest mini-album, 'THIS & THAT', debuted at number one on the Top 200 albums chart (Billboard's main chart that ranks the most popular albums in the United States). This marks the group's ninth consecutive album to top the chart.
With this achievement, Stray Kids became the first artist in the 70-year history of the Billboard 200 to have their first nine entries on the chart all debut at No. 1. Furthermore, Stray Kids also extended their record as the group with the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 this century (since 2000).
Interestingly, with this achievement, Stray Kids now equals The Rolling Stones' record for the most No. 1 albums by any group in history, second only to The Beatles who hold the record with 19 No. 1 albums. The mini album 'THIS & THAT' recorded the biggest week for Stray Kids in the United States.
According to Luminate (formerly known as Nielsen Music), the mini album earned a total of 369,000 equivalent album units during the week ending August 13, 2026, marking a new personal best for the group.
The mini-album's total score consists of 357,000 traditional album sales—making it the week's number one best-selling album in the United States and a new milestone in Stray Kids' career—and 11,000 streaming equivalent album units (SEA), which translates to 12.21 million on-demand audio streams during the week.
'THIS & THAT' also managed to amass 1,000 track equivalent album units (TEA) in its first week Before 'THIS & THAT', Stray Kids had previously topped the charts with albums such as 'ODDINARY', 'MAXIDENT', '★★★★★ (5-STAR)', 'ROCK-STAR', 'ATE', '合 (HOP)', 'KARMA', and 'DO IT'.
