Stray Kids recorded approximately 3.28 million copies in first-week sales with their 10th mini album ’THIS & THAT.’ Hanteo Chart announced that the sales volume during the first-week tracking period for this album, released on the 7th, reached about 3.28 million copies.

This achievement is about an 8% increase compared to the first-week sales record of 3,036,360 copies for their 4th full-length album ’KARMA,’ released last August. Although the full album contained 11 tracks, this mini album consists of 8 tracks, yet the sales volume was higher.

The increase in domestic sales is expected to continue in the U.S. market as well. U.S. music media HITS Daily Double predicted that the first-week album units for ’THIS & THAT’ in the U.S. will reach approximately 335,000. The pure album sales, combining physical albums and downloads, are projected to be about 325,000 copies.

If this forecast materializes, Stray Kids will set a new personal best record for first-week sales in the U.S. Their previous album ’KARMA’ recorded 313,000 units when it entered No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Including the special album ’DO IT,’ all eight albums by Stray Kids that have entered the Billboard 200 chart have reached No. 1. If this album tops the chart, their consecutive No. 1 record will increase to nine.
