Fans Choose Stray Kids ‘This & That’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music
Stray Kids' new release "THIS & THAT" has been named the favourite new music of the week by Billboard readers, winning a poll of songs released in a busy week that also included new material from Karol G, Madonna and Kylie Minogue, FLO, Role Model and Alex Warren. The result reflects the K-pop group's continued commercial strength, with the poll's win coming alongside a music video that has already attracted tens of millions of views on YouTube.
The eight-track collection, released via JYP Entertainment and the REPUBLIC Collective, opens with "RUN IT" before moving into its anthemic title song, and also includes "After You," "FARMING," "I Do," "Way Out," "Back Then" and a festival version of "This & That". In the poll, which closed on Sunday, Stray Kids secured 85% of the vote, well ahead of Karol G's "No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto" and the Madonna/Kylie Minogue "Love Sensation" remix. While it is too early to gauge the new set's chart performance, every previous Stray Kids release has debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, from 2022's ODDINARY to 2025's DO IT.
