Stray Kids have scored their sixth number one hit on the Billboard 200 with Hop.
The South Korean boy band's latest album has debuted atop the list dated 28 December. It's the sixth chart topper for the group, making the pop ensemble the first act to debut at number one with its first six chart entries in the nearly 69-year history of the chart.
The Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular weekly basis in March 1956.
Stray Kids previously opened atop the chart with Oddinary and Maxident (both in 2022), Rock-Star and 5-Star (both in 2023), and ATE (earlier this year).
With their sixth number one, Stray Kids tie BTS, Linkin Park and Dave Matthews Band for the most No 1s among groups on the Billboard 200 this century.
The boy band was formed through the eponymous reality TV show in 2017. The band has eight members: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N.
For undisclosed personal reasons, a ninth member, Woojin, left the band in October 2019.
Stray Kids latest single, Come Play, which sees them team up with Puerto Rican artist Young Miko and rock god Tom Morello, hit the Official Vinyl Singles chart in the UK this week.
