Stray Kids “ATE” and left no crumbs on Billboard’s World Albums list this past week, according to internet-approved standards. For the week ending on October 19, the JYP Entertainment boy group’s most recent mini-album topped a music chart that was dominated by HYBE, defeating stalwarts including Jimin of BTS, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, and SEVENTEEN.
Stray Kids’ “ATE” extended its sixth non-consecutive week at the top of the World Albums chart, marking an incredible triumphant return. The title tune “Chk Chk Boom,” which features cameos from Deadpool stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in its music video, is the lead single from the K-pop octet’s ninth Korean EP. It also extended its 12-week run on the Billboard 200 at #102.
HYBE Labels as the frontrunner
BTS Jimin’s solo studio album spent 12 weeks on the Billboard 200, much like “ATE.” The second complete album, “MUSE,” debuted at number two on the World Albums chart at the same time, continuing its 12-week run at the top of the chart.
In third place, behind Jimin, ENHYPEN’s “Romance: Untold” rose in its thirteenth consecutive week. For the sixth week in a row, LE SSERAFIM’s “Crazy” remained securely at the top of the list at #4.
In its 62nd week, NewJeans’ long-charting album “Get Up” from the previous year peaked at #6. BTS’ anthology album “Proof,” meanwhile, finished at number eight on Billboard’s World Albums chart, capping an incredible 122-week run.
The next two positions, at #10 and #14, were occupied by the boy bands BOYNEXTDOOR and SEVENTEEN. While the 13-member group’s new album continued its 24-week run on the chart, the former’s “19.99” finished its fourth week.
Other names on the list, besides Stray Kids, were SM Entertainment’s aespa and FNC Entertainment’s P1Harmony. In its third week, the former’s “Sad Song” peaked at number five. At number 15, the SM girl group’s “Armageddon,” which had been on the Billboard music chart for 20 weeks, finally came to the top of the list.
