Stray Kids are currently dominating the American market with their latest release, “THIS & THAT.” The idols are being compared with one of the biggest stars in music history, Taylor Swift, after achieving a monumental milestone.
“THIS & THAT,” released on August 7, 2026, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated August 22, marking Stray Kids’ ninth overall No. 1 on this prestigious chart. Now, the idols have tied Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 albums by any artist in the 2020s.
The idols’ streak began in 2022 with their mini-album ‘ODDINARY’, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Since then, every album they have released, including ‘MAXIDENT’, ‘5-STAR’, ‘樂-STAR’, ‘ATE’, ‘合 (HOP)’, ‘KARMA’, and ‘DO IT’, has continued this incredible run.
Stray Kids are writing history as we speak; the idols are now ranked behind the iconic The Beatles, who hold 19 No. 1 albums, and share the second spot with The Rolling Stones, with nine. Surely, the upcoming release will place them one step closer to reaching their milestone.
