not stray kids casually moving 3 MILLION albums in ONE week like it's a tuesday errand
'this & that' is only the SECOND record of all 2026 to hit 3 mil first-week — these men do not miss and i am exhausted (affectionate)
no bc how are stray kids just casually shifting THREE MILLION albums in a single week like it's nothing. 'this & that' hasn't even been out two weeks and stays are already rewriting the record books. i need a lie down.
per hanteo, the mini blew past 3 million copies in its first week — making it only the SECOND album of ALL of 2026 to pull that off. the other one? bts's 'arirang.' so the entire 3-mil-first-week club this year is stray kids and bts. no notes. just staring.
and it's not even new for them?? this is the FOURTH skz album to bulldoze the 3 million mark in week one, joining '5-STAR,' 'ROCK-STAR' and 'KARMA.' the way they simply keep doing this. serving consistency like it's a subscription service.
'this & that' only dropped august 7, which makes the numbers even more unhinged — barely five days on shelves and already in the history books. mother is mothering, the boys are boying, we are so back.
anyway stays go touch grass (i can't either).

enhypen moved 1.77 MILLION albums on day one like it was a quick errand
'The Sin : Bliss' topped the daily chart and stormed itunes in 23 countries the moment it dropped
not enhypen casually selling 1.77 MILLION copies of their new ep on release day. ON DAY ONE. some of us don't do 1.77 million of anything in a full lifetime.
the facts: 'The Sin : Bliss' — their eighth ep, led by 'Bloody Paradise' — came out august 22, immediately hit no. 1 on hanteo's daily album chart, and topped itunes' album chart in 23 countries including brazil, japan, malaysia and turkey.
the global-domination-before-lunch of it all. ENGENE mobilized like a professional army and the numbers came out frankly vulgar. complimentary, obviously.
eight eps deep and the boys are still speedrunning records. the sin, apparently, is being this consistent.
