[Official] Stray Kids, 8th on Billboard 200...'Top 10' for 3 consecutive weeks

Idol group Stray Kids ranked 8th on the Billboard 200 chart and ranked in the top 10 for 3 consecutive weeks. Stray Kids' mini album 'THIS & THAT', released on August 7, ranked 8th on the Billboard 200 chart as of September 5, 2026 (local time). This album entered the chart at number 1 on August 22nd and ranked 3rd on the chart the previous week. Previously, Stray Kids took first place upon their debut on the Billboard 200 with their 2022 mini-album 'ODDINARY', and since then, they have moved straight to the top spot with 9 works in a row, including their latest album. Stray Kids is the only artist in the world to debut at number one on this chart and achieve a record of nine consecutive number one entries. Until Stray Kids earned the title of 'Global History Maker', the group's producing team 3RACHA, Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han continued to work independently on music, showing off their outstanding efforts. Leader Bang Chan, who also produces SKZ songs, was registered as the copyright holder of a total of 243 songs with the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA) as of August 26, gaining fame as the artist with the most copyrighted songs among K-pop idols of all time. Changbin and Han also contributed to establishing a genre called 'Stray Kids' by placing them in the top ten with 207 songs (6th) and 204 songs (8th). In addition, Stray Kids recently achieved the feat of becoming the first foreign male artist to enter the National Stadium (MUFG STADIUM) in Tokyo, Japan. On August 29th and 30th, as part of their new world tour (Run It), they held a solo concert at the Tokyo National Stadium, attracting a total of 140,000 spectators and re-proving their powerful influence. Building on the momentum, the world tour will be held at the Vantelin Dome Nagoya on September 5-6, Kyocera Dome Osaka on the 19th-20th, Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka on October 24, and Tokyo Dome on November 6-8, and are expected to attract approximately 520,000 people locally. The activity of festival headliners is also increasing. On September 9th, the group's new festival 'STRAYCITY', which will be held in three regions of Latin America, will be opened, and on the 11th of the same month, the mega music festival 'Rock in Rio' will be held as the headlining stage. The world's attention is focused on the high-speed sprint of 'performance leaders' Stray Kids across stages around the world.
