Stray Kids make history as their new album Oddinary debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart. The album was released on March 18th via JYP/Imperial/Republic.
The historic accomplishments include the highest album sales in one week by any artist this year, the most sales in one week by an original fourth generation K-Pop group, and the first original K-Pop act to make their debut appearance on Billboard 200 at No. 1, solidifying Stray Kids’ explosive transformation from underdogs to global dominators.
The album also debuts No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart and World Albums Chart, marking their first No. 1 on the World Albums Chart. This also will be the first JYP Entertainment title and artist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
