Stray Kids became the first group from any country—and only the second artist overall—to have their first five charting albums debut at No. 1. This extraordinary achievement solidified their status as one of the most influential acts in music today.


Now, with 15 non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200, ATE is Stray Kids’ second longest-charting album. It trails only their full-length album ★★★★★ (5-STAR), which spent 16 weeks on the chart last year.

But the accolades don’t stop there. This week, ATE climbed higher across several other Billboard charts, showcasing its enduring popularity. It rose to No. 6 on the World Albums chart in its 20th week, No. 22 on the Top Current Album Sales chart, and No. 29 on the Top Album Sales chart.


Stray Kids’ ability to dominate both domestic and international charts is a testament to their hard work, unique sound, and a dedicated fanbase that spans the globe. As ATE continues to captivate listeners, it’s clear that Stray Kids are here to stay—and they’re only getting started.

With their ever-growing list of achievements, Stray Kids are redefining what it means to be a global music powerhouse . Fans and music enthusiasts alike are excited to see what the group has in store for the future.
