Stray Kids Score Ninth No. 1 Album, Tying The Rolling Stones

Heavy pure-sales from variant physical releases produced the multi-chart debut that leaves the group one No. 1 away from the rare club of acts with ten or more Billboard 200 leaders.

Overview

  • This & That opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and also led the Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, and World Albums charts.
  • The set is Stray Kids’ ninth Billboard 200 leader, which ties them with The Rolling Stones for the second-most No. 1 albums among groups.
  • Every one of the nine Stray Kids projects that has entered the Billboard 200 has reached No. 1, a streak noted in chart reporting.
  • This & That delivered the group’s first-ever No. 1 on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart, a result outlets linked to large pure-sales and multiple physical variants.
  • If Stray Kids earns a tenth Billboard 200 No. 1 they would join a small group of artists such as Elvis Presley and Madonna who have reached double-digit leaders, and outlets say that milestone is now within clear reach.
