K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids have once again made history on the Billboard 200.
The South Korean boy group scored its ninth consecutive No. 1 album on the prestigious U.S. chart, this time with its latest release, This & That.
According to Billboard, This & That debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated August 22, 2026, earning 369,000 equivalent album units in the United States.
With this latest achievement, Stray Kids extended what was already an unprecedented run on the Billboard 200.
First act in Billboard 200 history
Stray Kids is now the first act in the 70-year history of the Billboard 200 to debut its first nine charting albums at No. 1.
The group's historic streak began in 2022 with Oddinary, which marked its first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
It was followed by: Maxident (2022), 5-Star (2023), Rock-Star (2023), ATE (2024), HOP (2024), Karma (2025), Do It (2025), and This & That (2026).
All nine releases debuted at No. 1, giving Stray Kids a perfect nine-for-nine record on the chart.
The achievement extends the record they previously set with Do It, which became their eighth straight No. 1 and made them the first act to have their first eight Billboard 200 entries debut at the top.

Most No. 1 albums among groups this century
Stray Kids also strengthened their record as the group with the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 in the 21st century.
They first claimed that distinction in 2025 when Karma became their seventh No. 1 album, surpassing the previous totals of groups including BTS, Linkin Park, and Dave Matthews Band.
Their eighth No. 1 with Do It further extended that record, and This & That now brings their total to nine.
With nine No. 1 albums, Stray Kids have also reached another impressive milestone in the overall history of the Billboard 200.
The group is now tied with The Rolling Stones for the second-most No. 1 albums among groups on the chart, with nine each.
Only The Beatles, with 19 No. 1 albums, are ahead of them among groups.
This puts Stray Kids in rare company, not only as one of K-pop's most successful groups in the United States, but also among the most accomplished groups in Billboard 200 history.
For the eight-member group composed of Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N, the latest achievement adds another chapter to their remarkable rise in the U.S. music market.
And with nine straight No. 1 albums, the group is now just one chart-topper away from overtaking The Rolling Stones' total and moving into sole possession of the second-most No. 1 albums among groups in Billboard 200 history.
