Stray Kids has posted its ninth straight No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 main album chart with its latest EP "This and That."

Billboard's chart preview dated Aug. 16 said the boy band is tied with the Rolling Stones and second only to the Beatles in topping the chart.

The Billboard 200 ranks albums based on equivalent album units that combine physical and digital album sales with streaming and digital download figures.

"This and That" sold 369,000 units in the tracking period including 357,000 physical copies, the group's highest weekly sales in history.

Starting with its debut EP "Oddinary" in 2022, the group has had eight consecutive albums top the Billboard 200 including "Maxident," "5-Star," "Rock-Star," "Ate," "Hop" and "Karma."

"This and That" features eight tracks that embody a bold attitude and confidence pursuing what one desires with an unconstrained mindset.
