Stray Kids Reaffirm Global Status with Billboard Nominations for Two Consecutive Years

The K-pop boy group Stray Kids is further solidifying their global presence. They have been nominated in the categories of ‘Top Duo/Group’, ‘Top K-Pop Album’, and ‘Top Global K-Pop Artist’ at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, marking their second consecutive year as nominees. This achievement is evidence of Stray Kids’ continued elevation of K-pop’s status and their immense popularity among global fans.

Notably, Stray Kids won the Top K-Pop Album award in 2023 with ‘★★★★★ (5-STAR)’, making them the first 4th generation K-pop boy group to win in this category. This year, they have achieved the remarkable feat of having two albums, ‘樂-STAR’ and ‘ATE’, nominated simultaneously in the Top K-Pop Album category, making them the only K-pop artist with two nominated albums. In the Top Duo/Group category, they stand alongside Blink-182, Coldplay, Fuerza Regida, and Linkin Park, further elevating their status.

Stray Kids have also achieved outstanding results on the Billboard charts. Starting with their 2022 mini-album ‘ODDINARY’, their third full album ‘★★★★★ (5-STAR)’, and mini-albums ‘樂-STAR’ and ‘ATE’, they have consecutively topped the ‘Billboard 200’ chart with five works. Particularly, ‘樂-STAR’s title track ‘Rock (樂)’ was the first 4th generation K-pop boy group song to enter the ‘Hot 100’ chart, and digital singles ‘Lose My Breath (Feat. Charlie Puth)’ and ‘Chk Chk Boom’ also ranked on the ‘Hot 100′, achieving their highest rankings to date.

Stray Kids’ influence does not end here. Following their win in the Best K-Pop category at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards with the title track ‘특’ from ‘★★★★★ (5-STAR)’, they continue to win and be nominated at various award ceremonies this year. Additionally, they won at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and a soundtrack featuring ‘SLASH’ from the movie ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ was nominated at the 67th Grammy Awards.

On December 13, Stray Kids are set to continue their upward momentum with the release of SKZHOP HIPTAPE ‘合 (HOP)’ and the title track ‘Walkin On Water’. With heightened anticipation from fans, attention is on what achievements Stray Kids will accomplish next.
