Stray Kids just made history on the United States chart! On July 28, Billboard announced that Stray Kids’ new mini album “ATE” debuted at No. 1 on the Top 200 Albums Chart. This marks their fifth consecutive album to top the chart, following “ODDINARY,” “MAXIDENT,” “★★★★★ (5-STAR),” and “ROCK-STAR,” all shaking up the first place in the American tally.
These are the numbers: Luminate spilled that “ATE” sold a whopping 232,000 equivalent album units in the week ending on July 25. This includes 218,000 traditional album sales, giving SKZ the second-biggest sales week of any album in 2024, only behind Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department.” In addition, the mini-album got 13,000 streaming equivalent album units.
With this, Stray Kids surely take the crown as one of K-pop’s biggest acts in the United States. The group has once again proved its growing influence and popularity both in South Korea and abroad. Besides their mini-album release, they are also included in Marvel’s “Wolverine & Deadpool” soundtrack with the song “Slash.”
