After achieving success in album sales, Stray Kids have now also emerged as dominant figures in the realm of music streaming. Their new album “록-스타” (ROCK-STAR) has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform, a milestone achieved just 20 days after its release on November 10.
Along with the anticipated success of “록-스타” (ROCK-STAR), Stray Kids had previously earned the title of “Album King” with their earlier work “Five Star” (★★★★★). They have also achieved top positions in Spotify’s year-end rankings.
Notably, they ranked 5th among the most-streamed K-pop artists and 16th in the most-streamed group category, securing their position as leading representatives of the fourth generation of K-pop idols and becoming a new symbol of K-pop.
In conjunction with Spotify, Stray Kids have also been a frequent presence on Billboard, a global music indicator, throughout the year, earning the nickname “Sons of Billboard.”
Living up to their reputation as the “New Album Kings,” Stray Kids have set a unique record with their recent albums, including “록-스타” (ROCK-STAR), “ODDINARY,” “MAXIDENT,” and their previous work “Five Star,” by achieving four consecutive number ones on the Billboard 200 chart.
Stray Kids have also successfully entered the ‘Big Three’ of Billboard charts – the Billboard 200, Hot 100, and Artist 100, becoming the second group after BTS to achieve this feat.
