Just last month, Stray Kids released its new EP, Hollow, but the project didn’t make much of a commercial impact in the United States. The K-pop superstars have scored several No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 with studio efforts largely performed in Korean with some English. Hollow is the band’s fourth Japanese-language set, and typically, Japanese-language musical efforts don’t receive the same love in America as Korean-language ones, even if they come from superstars.
Just weeks after Hollow arrived, Stray Kids return to one Billboard ranking with multiple projects, as fans are still buying and streaming the boy band’s work — they’re just not focusing on the newest title.
Stray Kids Albums Return to the Same Billboard Tally
Several recent Stray Kids efforts reappear on the World Albums chart this week. 5-Star and Rock-Star reenter the list at Nos. 22 and 23, respectively, sitting side-by-side as they break back onto Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed “world” releases in the U.S.
Stray Kids currently fill four spaces on the World Albums chart. In addition to 5-Star and Rock-Star, Hop and Ate also continue to appear, landing at Nos. 7 and 10, respectively. The lower-ranking of those two titles climbs back into the top 10, inching up from No. 12.
Stray Kids’ Dominance on the World Albums Chart
Stray Kids have now collected a half-dozen No. 1s on the World Albums chart. The group has pushed 16 projects into the top 10, and a little less than half of them have ruled the ranking. That list includes Hop, Ate, 5-Star and Rock-Star, which have all spent months on the tally.
“Chk Chk Boom” Also Returns
As two projects by Stray Kids reappear on the World Albums tally, the band also finds its way back to the World Digital Song Sales chart. On that list, “Chk Chk Boom” reenters at No. 9 after once conquering the ranking, becoming another leader for the K-pop favorites.
