Stray Kids’ “THIS & THAT” Returns to Billboard 200 Top 30 in Its Ninth Week

Stray Kids’ tenth mini album “THIS & THAT” has climbed back to No. 29 on the Billboard 200, more than two months after its release. The chart update, published on October 18, marks the album’s ninth consecutive week on the US albums chart and gives the group its strongest ninth-week ranking for any album to date.

The album originally debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in August, continuing Stray Kids’ established record of strong US album performance. Returning to the top 30 in its ninth week is significant because album rankings often fall after an initial release surge, particularly as new music arrives from other major artists.

“THIS & THAT” also returned to No. 1 on Billboard’s World Albums chart, marking its seventh non-consecutive week at the top. On the Top Album Sales chart, it climbed to No. 3, making it the third best-selling album of the week in the United States according to that ranking. Stray Kids also rose to No. 29 on Billboard’s Artist 100, where they have now spent a cumulative 151 weeks.

Each chart measures a different aspect of performance. The Billboard 200 ranks albums using a combination of consumption measures, while Top Album Sales focuses on album purchases and World Albums tracks releases categorised within the international market. The Artist 100 reflects an artist’s overall activity across several Billboard metrics. Taken together, the rankings show that “THIS & THAT” continues to attract attention beyond its opening week.

Stray Kids have developed a particularly strong international following through self-produced music, high-energy performances and an identifiable group sound. Their touring activity and active fanbase also help keep older releases visible after the initial promotional period. While chart positions can move from week to week, the ninth-week rebound suggests the album has maintained enough activity to climb again amid competition.

The result gives the group another chart milestone as they continue their global activities. It also demonstrates that a release can regain momentum after its first few weeks, rather than following a one-way decline.

The next Billboard updates will show whether “THIS & THAT” can hold its renewed position. Fans can continue tracking the group’s US chart performance as the album’s run extends beyond two months.
