The milestone makes them the first act to have each of their first nine charting projects enter the Billboard 200 at the top spot. According to a chart preview published on August 16, 2026, the EP earned 369,000 equivalent album units in the United States, including 357,000 in traditional album sales. With this, the 8-member team achieved their best sales week in the country so far.

The record extends a streak that began in 2022 with “Oddinary.” Stray Kids followed it with “Maxident,” “5 Star,” “Rock Star,” “Ate,” “Skzhop Hiptape: Hop,” “Karma,” “Skz It Tape: Do It,” and now “This & That,” all debuting atop the chart. The KPop giants previously became the first act in Billboard 200 history to debut their first six charting albums at #1, and continued extending their record with subsequent albums and EPs.
With nine #1 projects, Stray Kids have also tied the Rolling Stones for the second most chart-topping albums among groups in Billboard 200 history. Meanwhile, the Beatles remain in first place with 19 chart-topping releases. Even though they have a huge record ahead, Stray Kids continue to dominate the milestone among KPop groups. The “CASE 143” hitmakers hold the record for most Billboard 200 #1 entries among acts that debuted after 2000.
