Stray Kids' 'THIS & THAT' Returns to No. 1 on World Albums in Its Ninth Billboard Week

Monday, October 19, 2026 · Music · GSM News

South Korean group Stray Kids' tenth mini album "THIS & THAT" continues its long Billboard run in the United States. In its ninth week on the Billboard 200, the album sits at No. 29, the group's highest placement at this stage of an album's chart life; it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August.

Elsewhere, "THIS & THAT" returns to No. 1 on the World Albums chart, bringing its total to seven nonconsecutive weeks on top, and climbs to No. 3 on Top Album Sales. Stray Kids rise to No. 29 on the Artist 100, extending their cumulative presence on that chart to 151 weeks.

On Hanteo's U.S. country chart, the album ranked first for October 5-11 with 12,022.56 composite points. Hanteo's measure combines physical albums, digital music and social data for K-pop specifically, differing from the Billboard 200's broader U.S. album-popularity methodology.

Stray Kids record for JYP Entertainment. The group's upcoming schedule includes an October 24 show in Fukuoka, Japan.
