Stray Kids Becomes 1st K-Pop Artist To Spend 4 Weeks On Billboard 200 With 2022 Album

Stray Kids’ “ODDINARY” has become the first K-pop album of 2022 to spend four weeks on the Billboard 200!

For the week ending on April 23, Stray Kids’ latest mini album successfully remained on Billboard’s famous Top 200 Albums chart—its weekly ranking of the most popular albums in the United States—at No. 131. “ODDINARY” previously debuted at No. 1 on the chart last month, making Stray Kids only the third Korean artist in history ever to top the Billboard 200 (following BTS and SuperM).

Not only is “ODDINARY” Stray Kids’ first album ever to enter the Billboard 200, but it is also the first—and so far, only—K-pop album released this year to spend four weeks on the chart.

Only seven other K-pop artists in history have ever had an album chart on the Billboard 200 for four weeks or more: BTS, BLACKPINK, SuperM, NCT, NCT 127, TXT, and TWICE.

“ODDINARY” also held onto its spot at No. 1 on Billboard’s World Albums chart for the fourth consecutive week, in addition to staying strong at No. 12 on the Top Current Album Sales chart, No. 13 on the Top Album Sales chart, and No. 24 on the Tastemaker Albums chart.

Additionally, Stray Kids’ latest title track “MANIAC” ranked No. 14 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, No. 117 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, and No. 173 on the Global 200 in its fourth week.

Finally, Stray Kids charted at No. 83 on Billboard’s Artist 100 this week.

Congratulations to Stray Kids!
