Stray Kids and Jimin Make History as First K-Pop Acts to Hold Top Spots on Album Charts


Stray Kids and Jimin become the first K-pop acts to hold the top positions on the album charts.

“Ate” got a boost from its 11 CD variants, and had the second-largest sales week of any album this year behind Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department.” It marks the first soundtrack album to crack the top 10 this year thanks to the film’s strong launch at the box office and a star-studded tracklist featuring country singers Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll and more. Otherwise, there’s little other movement on the Hot 100, as Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” round out the top five.
