Stray Kids break a United States chart record with “ATE”

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.”
