Stray Kids has achieved a notable milestone with their latest single "Chk Chk Boom," which has debuted at No. 49 on the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement, as reported by Billboard on Tuesday, underscores the group's growing influence in the global music industry.
"Chk Chk Boom" is the lead track from Stray Kids' ninth EP, "Ate," which has propelled the group to a record-setting fifth consecutive debut on the Billboard 200 chart. This impressive streak solidifies Stray Kids' position as a leading force in K-pop, setting them apart from their peers.
This latest entry builds on the success of their previous releases. Stray Kids' eighth EP, featuring the track "Lalalala," and their collaboration with Charlie Puth on "Lose My Breath" both reached No. 90 on the Hot 100. With "Chk Chk Boom," the group has surpassed these records, further establishing their prominence in the competitive music landscape.
Notably, Stray Kids remains one of the few K-pop boy bands to secure a spot on the main singles chart, alongside industry giants BTS. This highlights their unique position and growing impact within the global music scene.
In addition to their chart achievements, Stray Kids is set to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago on Friday, where they will headline alongside American singer-songwriter Sza. This performance is expected to further elevate their international presence and showcase their dynamic stage presence.
Stray Kids' continued success and record-breaking achievements illustrate the expanding reach of K-pop and its increasing influence on the global music industry.
