Just over a month from now, the South Korean group will unveil a new EP titled This & That. Expected to arrive on August 7, the record is likely to add another global hit to the band’s impressive catalogue and could return them to the top spot on the Billboard 200, a chart they have dominated multiple times in the past.
In anticipation of the EP’s release, Stray Kids dropped the single “Run It” in late June. The track debuted on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart at No. 9, selling 2,000 copies in its first tracking period, according to Luminate data.
“Run It” Debuts Within the Top 10
The single’s entry on the Digital Song Sales chart marks Stray Kids’ eighth appearance on the ranking, with all but two of those entries reaching the top 10. Prior releases “Lalalala” and “S‑Class” peaked at Nos. 20 and 22, respectively, while the rest have been top‑10 successes.
