Stray Kids is continuing its U.S. breakthrough. After their album "THIS & THAT" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 earlier this week, the title track "This & That" has now made history as the group's first song to crack the top 40 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, debuting at No. 38.

The achievement represents a significant milestone for the group stateside. While Stray Kids has built a strong fanbase in the U.S. over the past few years, landing a top 40 hit on the Hot 100—the industry's most visible ranking of popular songs—signals their music is resonating beyond the core K-Pop audience. The song also topped five Billboard charts this week, reinforcing its momentum across multiple formats.

The success of "This & That" adds another layer to what's already been a record-breaking week for the group. The album's No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 tied Stray Kids with The Rolling Stones for a specific Billboard 200 record, cementing their status as one of the most commercially dominant groups in music right now—K-Pop or otherwise.

Meanwhile, fellow JYP Entertainment artist KickFlip recently performed a cover of Stray Kids' earlier hit "God's Menu" at KCON LA 2026, releasing a dance practice video of the performance on August 18. The cover showcases the rookie boy group's high-energy take on one of Stray Kids' most iconic tracks, proving the staying power of the original.

Stray Kids continues to expand their footprint in the Western market while maintaining their dominance on the charts globally. With "This & That" now on the Hot 100 and the album reigning at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the group shows no signs of slowing down.
