Stray Kids have claimed their ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as THIS & THAT debuts atop the chart dated Aug. 22, according to Luminate. The set earned 369,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 13 — the group's biggest week by units to date. Traditional album sales accounted for 357,000 of that total, making it the act's best sales week ever.
Every one of Stray Kids' nine Billboard 200 entries has opened at No. 1, a run that began with ODDINARY in 2022. When HOP launched at No. 1 in 2024, Stray Kids became the first act to see its first six chart entries all debut at the top spot — a record now extended to nine with THIS & THAT. The Billboard 200 has been published on a regular weekly basis since March 1956.
The milestone gives Stray Kids the record for most No. 1 albums among groups this century (since 2000) and ties them with The Rolling Stones for the second-most No. 1s among groups all-time, trailing only The Beatles, who lead all acts with 19 No. 1s.
Of THIS & THAT's 369,000 units, SEA units comprised 11,000 (equal to 12.21 million on-demand official streams) and TEA units added 1,000. The album marks the sixth-largest units week of 2026 and the second-largest sales week of the year, trailing only BTS' ARIRANG (532,000). Its sales performance was boosted by 17 CD and vinyl variants — featuring photocards, posters, stickers, some randomized, including signed editions — plus eight digital download variants.
Elsewhere on the chart, Ariana Grande's petal slips to No. 2 after its debut atop the list a week earlier, earning 82,000 units (down 72%). Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love holds at No. 3 with 72,000 units (down 3%), while Ella Langley's Dandelion is stationary at No. 4 with just over 70,000 units (down 2%). Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem falls 2-5 with 70,000 units (down 6%), and Noah Kahan's The Great Divide dips 5-6 with 56,000 units (down 4%).
Pooh Shiesty earns his second top 10 as All Eyes on Shiest bows at No. 7 with 51,000 units — a project he released while in jail awaiting trial on robbery and kidnapping charges. SEA units made up 49,500 of that sum (51.59 million streams, No. 6 on Top Streaming Albums), with 1,500 in sales from its digital-only release.
Karol G notches her fourth top 10 as No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto enters at No. 8 with 50,000 units, including 48,000 SEA units (49.52 million streams, No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums) and 1,500 in sales from its digital-only availability.
Drake's ICEMAN falls 6-9 with 46,000 units (down 5%). Role Model rounds out the top 10 with Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, his first top 10 entry, at No. 10 with 38,500 units — his largest week yet. Of that total, 24,000 came from album sales, his best sales week, placing the album at No. 2 on Top Album Sales, while SEA units contributed 14,500 (14.73 million streams). The release was supported by 12 physical variants across CD, vinyl and cassette, including signed editions, alongside two download configurations.
