Since then, Maxident, 5-Star, Rock-Star, ATE, Hop, Karma and Do It have all reached No. 1, followed by This & That this year.

The achievement makes Stray Kids the first act in Billboard 200 history to debut at No. 1 with their first nine charting albums.

The milestone also puts Stray Kids alongside The Rolling Stones, with both groups having scored nine No. 1 albums on the chart. The Beatles remain ahead with 19.

It is the latest addition to a growing list of international achievements for Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N.

Since debuting in 2018, Stray Kids have grown into one of K pop’s biggest global acts, with STAY following them throughout that rise.
