Stray Kids make Billboard chart history with new album ‘ATE’
The K-pop band are the first group to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 with their first five charting projects.
Stray Kids have made Billboard chart history in the US with the release of their new mini-album, ATE.
The K-pop band are the first group to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 with their first five charting projects.
The eight-piece band have now hit the top of the chart with the projects ODDINARY, MAXIDENT, ROCK-STAR, 5-STAR and now ATE.
The only other artist in history to achieve this feat is the late DMX, who hit the top of the chart with five projects between 1998 and 2003.
Stray Kids recently debuted a new music video for ATE‘s lead single ‘Chk Chk Boom’, featuring Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
Jackman takes on the role of Weatherman Wolverine, with his Adamantium claws coming in handy for his meteorological tasks, while Reynolds is the disgruntled diva Deadpool/newsreader.
Stray Kids headlined BST Hyde Park in London this month, with a Rolling Stone UK review of the show saying: “Now in their sixth year of being a group, Stray Kids have perfected how to work a crowd. British Summer Time Hyde Park, with its capacity of 65,000, can be an unforgiving arena for even for the biggest of stars and legends of the music world. The palatial space can be hard to command, due to its sheer size and depth of the crowd, some of whom have been lolling around on the grass since early afternoon.
“Rather than being swallowed up by the space, they inhabited it, grabbing the attention of the crowd, and clambering on every part of the stage they could reach. They didn’t let go of the audiences’ attention the entire time, producing wave after wave of energy that swelled through the crowd, waving their trusty light sticks.”
