Last week, Stray Kids scored a new bestselling album all around the world with This & That. The K-pop superstars launched the set atop rankings in a number of nations, including the United States and in lofty spaces elsewhere.
This & That was not a No. 1 in the United Kingdom, but the project has turned out to be something of a surprise win for the outfit. This time around, the collection manages a feat no other Stray Kids release has in the past, while simultaneously debuting on multiple rosters and nearly matching the boy band’s career high points.
This & That Pushes Stray Kids Into the Top 20
This & That debuted at No. 41 on the Official Albums Sales chart last week, barely missing out on becoming another top 40 win for the group. This time around, the project surges all the way to No. 20, establishing a new peak as it climbs.
That kind of climb is relatively uncommon on sales rankings. Albums and EPs typically begin at what turns out to be their all-time high, as purchases are often strongest during a project’s opening week. This & That reverses that usual pattern.
Stray Kids Scores Its Second-Highest Sales Chart Win
As it leaps to No. 20, This & That now stands as the second-highest-charting Stray Kids release on the Official Albums Sales ranking. Only 2025’s Karma has performed better. That collection debuted at No. 12 last fall, nearly bringing the boy band to the top 10 on the sales roster for the first time.
This & That also stands out for another reason: it is the only Stray Kids release to spend more than one week on the tally. Oddinary, 5-Star, Rock-Star, Ate and Karma all debuted as bestsellers and then disappeared after a single turn.
Stray Kids Matches Its Own Downloads Longevity Record
This & That also spends a second week on the Official Album Downloads chart, where it falls sharply from No. 2 to No. 62. The project is now tied with Karma, Ate and Rock-Star as Stray Kids’ longest-charting releases on the downloads-only roster, as all of those efforts held on for only two frames apiece.
Just days ago, This & That brought Stray Kids to a new career high on the Official Album Downloads ranking when it opened in second place, missing out on becoming the South Korean boy band’s first No. 1 by only one rung.
The Latest Stray Kids Album Debuts on Two More Charts
This & That simultaneously debuts on two physical-format rankings in the U.K. this frame. The project opens at No. 15 on the Official Vinyl Albums chart and No. 20 on the Official Physical Albums tally. In both cases, This & That becomes only the second Stray Kids release to reach either roster.
The group first appeared on the two charts in September 2025 with Karma. That project debuted at No. 13 on the vinyl ranking and No. 19 on the general physical albums list, where purchases on wax are usually very important. As it launches, This & That comes remarkably close to matching both of those career high point, but it misses out on doing so by, in one case, only one rung.
