Stray Kids’ Ninth Consecutive No. 1 Album Ties The Rolling Stones

Stray Kids have turned the top of the Billboard 200 into familiar territory. Their latest album, THIS & THAT, debuts at No. 1 on the chart dated August 22, 2026, with 369,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States during the week ending August 13.

It is the group’s ninth consecutive chart-topping release — every Billboard 200 entry they have ever earned has arrived at No. 1 — and their largest sales week to date. Traditional album sales accounted for 357,000 of the total, making it the second-largest traditional sales week of 2026 behind BTS’ ARIRANG.

The result places Stray Kids level with the Rolling Stones for the second-most No. 1 albums among groups, behind only the Beatles. It also extends their record as the first act to debut their first nine chart entries in the top spot.

The album’s first-week number was supported by 17 CD and vinyl variants with randomized collectible items and eight digital download configurations. The commercial machinery around the release is now as consistent as the chart result itself.
