[talk] Stray Kids' second full-length Japanese album sweeps overseas charts

Stray Kids is doing well on global charts.

Stray Kids released their second Japanese full-length album 'GIANT' and the title track of the same name on November 13th.

The new album is the first local full-length album to be released in approximately 1 year and 9 months since the release of their first Japanese full-length album, 'THE SOUND', in February 2023.

Stray Kids' new album topped the Japanese Apple Music and iTunes comprehensive, pop, and K-pop album charts on the day of its release, as well as Line Music's real-time album top 100 and AWA real-time rising album top 100. As of November 14, it topped the iTunes Top Song charts in nine regions overseas as well as the iTunes Top Album charts in 19 regions including Japan and the United States. In particular, the new album's achievement of topping the US iTunes Top Album chart is even more meaningful as it is "the first Japanese album by a K-pop artist this year" to achieve the top spot. In addition, they showed off their prowess by topping the Oricon Chart Daily Album Ranking for four consecutive days from November 12 to 15.

Wow, this is going really well.
