Stray Kids Makes K-Pop History: Second Male Group With Multiple Songs Gold-Certified By RIAA
Stray Kids has hit gold in the United States once again, this time with their 2022 track "MANIAC"! The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently certified the song as gold, signifying over 500,000 units sold.
This marks Stray Kids' second gold-certified song by the RIAA, the first being their 2020 hit "God’s Menu." In total, they now have four RIAA certifications, having achieved gold status previously with their 2023 albums "★★★★★ (5-STAR)" and "ROCK-STAR."
Stray Kids' accomplishment puts them in an elite category—they're only the second male K-pop group to earn gold certifications for multiple songs from the RIAA. The group joins the ranks of BTS , BLACKPINK, and TWICE as one of the few K-pop acts to achieve this feat.
Formed by JYP Entertainment through the 2017 reality show of the same name, Stray Kids has been taking the K-pop scene by storm. Comprising eight members - Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. - the group has left an indelible mark with their dynamic performances and soul-stirring music.
Since their debut with the pre-debut EP "Mixtape" in January 2018, followed by their official debut with "I Am Not" in March 2018, Stray Kids has been on a meteoric rise. Their Clé trilogy EPs and first studio album "Go Live" have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, solidifying their position as a powerhouse in the industry.
In 2021, their second studio album "Noeasy" became a million-seller, further cementing their status as global icons. With chart-topping releases and sold-out concerts, Stray Kids continues to push boundaries and inspire millions worldwide. As of October 2022, they've sold over 10 million albums, a testament to their unparalleled talent and unwavering dedication.
