Stray Kids Reach A New Billboard Chart With Their Brand New Sales Smash

Stray Kids continue to solidify their position as one of the most popular groups in the United States with their latest era. With their new album 5-Star the South Korean boy band has not only conquered several rankings in America, but has also achieved a significant milestone by appearing on a Billboard chart they had never reached before. This latest achievement from the group showcases their expanding reach and growing power of Stray Kids in the music industry.

The group’s new single “S-Class” appears on this week’s Digital Song Sales chart, which specifically ranks the tunes that have sold the most copies. This tally differs from the Hot 100, which takes into account various consumption methods such as streams and radio play.

Debuting at No. 22 on the 50-spot Digital Song Sales chart, “S-Class” sold over 2,600 copies in its first week, according to data shared by Luminate. This marks Stray Kids’ first appearance on the Digital Song Sales chart.

The band isn’t new to Billboard, as they have previously topped other tallies primarily with their full-length albums. Their album 5-Star, which features “S-Class,” easily secured the No. 1 position on both the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales charts when it arrived. While the band has previously reached the top of these lists, achieving success with individual tracks had eluded them until now, making this accomplishment even more significant.

In addition to the Digital Song Sales chart, “S-Class” has also made its debut at an impressive No. 2 on the World Digital Song Sales chart. This particular ranking focuses on specific tracks, making it easier for K-pop artists to dominate. While the band came close to claiming the top spot on this chart, they were unable to surpass Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down,” which is currently making waves as a major smash hit.
