Stray Kids Break Billboard 200 Record with Sixth Consecutive No. 1 Album

The K-pop group’s latest release, 'HOP,' makes history as the first act to debut at No. 1 with their first six chart entries.

Stray Kids' album 'HOP' debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 187,000 equivalent album units, including 176,000 in traditional album sales.
This marks the group's sixth consecutive album to debut at No. 1, setting a new record for the Billboard 200 since its inception in 1956.
With six No. 1 albums, Stray Kids tie BTS, Linkin Park, and Dave Matthews Band for the most chart-topping albums by a group since 2000.
The album's strong sales were driven by seven CD variants featuring collectible items like photocards, posters, and stickers, with 171,000 physical CDs sold.
Stray Kids are currently on their 'dominATE' world tour, with upcoming performances in Hong Kong before continuing to Latin America, North America, and Europe in 2025.
