Stray Kids Becomes 1st Group In Billboard 200 History To Have First 5 Entries Debut At No. 1

Jul 28, 2024

Stray Kids has just made Billboard history!

On July 28 local time, Billboard announced that Stray Kids’ new mini album “ATE” had debuted at No. 1 on its Top 200 Albums chart, making it their fifth consecutive album to top the chart following “ODDINARY,” “MAXIDENT,” “★★★★★ (5-STAR),” and “ROCK-STAR.”

Stray Kids is now the first group in Billboard 200 history to have their first five charting albums debut at No. 1—and only the second artist ever to achieve the feat following American rapper DMX over two decades ago.

According to Luminate (formerly Nielsen Music), “ATE” earned a total of 232,000 equivalent album units during the week ending on July 25. The album’s total score consisted of 218,000 traditional album sales—marking the second-biggest sales week of any album in 2024, bested only by Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department”—and 13,000 streaming equivalent album (SEA) units, which translates to 19.05 million on-demand audio streams over the course of the week. “ATE” also racked up 1,000 track equivalent album (TEA) units in its first week.

Congratulations to Stray Kids on their new record!
