Stray Kids previously took first place on Gaon 2021 Retail Album Chart and Hanteo Weekly Album Chart. Also, they even topped the monthly chart, showing off their album power.
Accordingly, US Forbes said on December 9, “Stray Kids’ new single album sold more than 650,000 copies in November.”
Considering that the album was released on November 29, it drew attention by highlighting it as a truly huge record.
This year, the single album ‘Christmas EveL,’ in response to the great love sent by fans worldwide, has performed well on various charts in Korea and abroad. On the day of its release, it ranked 2nd on the Worldwide iTunes album chart and topped the iTunes album chart in 23 regions as of 8 am on November 30.
The title song of the same name entered 10th place on the US Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart on December 11. Then, it topped the iTunes song chart in 27 regions overseas.

Then, Kpop group Stray Kids became one of the ‘Best Kpop Albums of 2021’ by the US TIME magazine. On December 8, TIME’s official website made it clear that “the eight members have no intention of lowering their voices by wordplay ‘NOEASY.’ The first line of the title song ‘Thunderous,’ “Oh, I’m Oh Changbin, I’m screaming, and I’m drunk in my place,” shows this well.”
TIME added, “‘Thunderous’ hits listeners’ ears with gold-bronze instruments, car horn sounds, and metal sounds as Stray Kids push like bulldozers from beginning to end. In addition, even sounds that seem as noise act as charms in this album.”
Stray Kids, who achieved ‘Career High’ with two albums released in 2021, added another achievement. At the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards (2021 MAMA), held on December 11, they won the ‘World Wide Fan’ CHOICE TOP 10′ award. They said, “Thanks to the great love and support of STAY (fandom), we received this award. In the future, we will continue to enjoy music and performances without losing our original intentions. Thank you so much, and we love you,” expressing their gratitude to fans around the world.
They showed off their ‘K-Performance Leader’ aspect with an all-time scale and unique worldview. The intro track ‘CHEESE’ of the second full-length album ‘NOEASY’ boasted the team’s unique, pleasant charm. Also, they revealed the outspoken momentum of ‘All-round Talents’ through the hero version of ‘Thunderous’ performance. They are imprinting their presence on worldwide viewers.
