The latest feat extends their record for most No. 1s among groups this century, tying them with the Rolling Stones for second-most No. 1s in the chart\u2019s history among groups, only behind the Beatles with 19 No. 1s. Additionally, \u201cThis & That\u201d has the sixth-largest week for an album in 2026 and second-largest by traditional album sales behind the debut of BTS\u2019 \u201cArirang\u201d in March with 532,000.<\/p>\n

\nStray Kids previously earned their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with \u201cOddinary\u201d in 2022. Two years later, they became the first act to debut their first six entries at the top spot following the release of \u201cHop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u201cYou Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love\u201d holds steady at No. 3, followed by Ella Langley\u2019s \u201cDandelion\u201d at No. 4 and Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m the Problem,\u201d which dips from No. 2 to 5.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the rest of the top 10 are Noah Kahan\u2019s \u201cThe Great Divide,\u201d followed by the debut of Pooh Shiesty\u2019s \u201cAll Eyes on Shiest\u201d at No. 7. Karol G\u2019s latest album, \u201cNo Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto,\u201d bows at No. 8, while Drake\u2019s \u201cIceman\u201d slides from No. 6 to 9. Role Model\u2019s latest album, \u201cChuck Timely & the Hourglass,\u201d bows at No. 10 with 38,500 equivalent album units.<\/p>\n
