Stray Kids Achieve 9th Consecutive No. 1 on Billboard 200

Stray Kids have secured their ninth No. 1 position on the U.S. “Billboard 200” chart, becoming the first K-pop group to achieve nine consecutive top spots. This accomplishment marks a historic milestone as all nine albums released since March 2022 with their mini 6th album “ODDINARY” reached No. 1 immediately upon chart debut.

The album sold 369,000 copies in the United States, breaking the group’s own record for the highest weekly sales volume.

Highest Traditional Sales Record “The Disc & That” recorded 357,000 traditional album sales, setting a new record for the highest weekly sales volume to date. This result allowed Stray Kids to surpass their previous record of eight consecutive No. 1s. The chart ranking is determined by combining points based on traditional album sales with SEA (streaming equivalent albums), which converts streaming counts into album equivalents, and TEA (track equivalent albums), which converts digital song downloads into album equivalents.

Outperforming Local Top Artists This album topped the chart, surpassing Ariana Grande’s “petal” (which ranked second) and Olivia Rodrigo’s “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.” Although both of those albums were released this week as well, Stray Kids managed to claim the No. 1 spot despite the simultaneous release of new works by major local artists.

Initial Sales of 3,289,269 Copies The title track “The Disc & That” is a chill and cool-themed hip-hop song written and composed by the group’s in-house production team, 3RACHA (comprising Bang Chan, Changbin, and Hyunji). This track is expected to enter Billboard’s main singles chart, the “Hot 100.” With this new album, Stray Kids achieved initial sales of 3,289,269 copies within the first week of release, marking their fourth album to reach triple million-seller status.
