Stray Kids' EP THIS & THAT debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — their ninth consecutive chart-topping debut — earning 369,000 equivalent album units; an academic argues the streak reflects JYP's production system, 3RACHA's creative role and organized STAY fandom rather than luck

Stray Kids' EP This & That debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 369,000 equivalent album units (357,000 in traditional sales), marking the first time any act’s first nine charting albums all opened at No. 1 and giving the group nine Billboard 200 chart-toppers — the second-most among groups in chart history behind the Beatles and tied with the Rolling Stones. The 10th EP’s eight tracks were produced by in‑house team 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) and are led by a hip-hop–based, groovy title track the band calls “chill” and “cool”; the sales total was their biggest week yet, and the members called the milestone “a great honor,” thanked fans (Stay) and pledged to broaden their musical range
