Stray Kids Rebound on the Billboard 200 as Mini Album Hits Top 30

More than two months post-release, the K-pop powerhouse charges back up the U.S. album rankings.

Stray Kids are not slowing down. More than two months after dropping their 10th mini album, the global K-pop sensation has pulled off a major chart rebound in the United States. Their project has surged back into the upper tier of the Billboard 200, landing at No. 29. The jump marks the album's ninth consecutive week charting among the most consumed releases in the country, proving that the group's stateside staying power is stronger than ever.

Where does Stray Kids stand on the Billboard 200?

The climb to No. 29 is a significant feat for an international release entering its third month of tracking. While front-loaded debuts are the norm for many blockbuster releases, Stray Kids continue to find new momentum weeks into their promotional cycle. Billboard calculates positions using album sales, track-equivalent units, and on-demand streaming figures across the U.S. Hitting the top 30 after nine straight weeks highlights an active, durable listener base. The mini album originally arrived over two months ago and has maintained continuous visibility on the chart ever since. Rather than sliding down as new domestic projects drop, Stray Kids reversed direction and clawed back crucial positions.

Why is this Billboard milestone a big deal?

Sustained performance on mainstream U.S. charts remains a difficult hurdle for international acts. Many artists score high first-week placements before rapidly tumbling. Stray Kids, however, are showcasing consistent week-over-week performance. Reclaiming top 30 status in week nine shows that fans are still heavily streaming the project while physical units continue moving. Their 10th mini album has cemented itself as one of their most enduring American releases to date. With multiple successful comebacks under their belts, the group continues to expand their global footprint with every era. As long as momentum holds, Stray Kids are poised to keep breaking their own long-running chart records.
