Stray Kids, the popular South Korean boy band, continues to make waves in the music industry with their latest release 'Ate'. The group has once again claimed the top spot on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart for a second consecutive week, showcasing their impressive sales prowess.
'Ate' marks the first multi-frame No. 1 for Stray Kids on the Top Album Sales chart, distinguishing it from their previous releases. In the past tracking week, the EP sold a total of 44,700 copies in America, solidifying its position at the summit of the chart.
Upon its debut, 'Ate' made a significant impact by selling nearly 217,000 copies and securing the top position on the chart. Despite a subsequent drop in sales, the album's initial success was substantial enough to maintain its dominance for a second week.
Stray Kids have now accumulated a total of five No. 1 albums on the Top Album Sales chart throughout their career. In addition to 'Ate', the group's previous projects such as 'Oddinary', 'Maxident', '5-Star', and 'Rock-Star' have all reached the pinnacle of Billboard's purchase-only roster.
Among South Korean groups, Stray Kids are tied for the third-most No. 1 albums on the Top Album Sales chart, alongside Seventeen. BTS and Tomorrow X Together lead the pack with six chart-topping albums each, highlighting the competitive landscape within the K-pop industry.
Stray Kids' consistent success on the charts underscores their strong fan base and the global appeal of their music. As they continue to break records and set new milestones, the group remains a dominant force in the world of music.
