41 Countries, One Day: Stray Kids' 'RUN IT' Is Already Dominating Global Charts

Stray Kids released 'RUN IT' on June 24, and by the time anyone finished listening, the chart was already settled: #1 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart, straight out of the gate.

The single also topped the European iTunes Song Chart and claimed the top spot in 41 countries and regions, including the US and Australia. The music video moved just as fast, hitting YouTube Music Video Trending #1 in 34 countries shortly after it went live.

JYP Entertainment hasn't said much, they don't have to. The numbers are doing the talking.

'RUN IT' is the opening salvo of a busier second half of the year for the group. Starting next month, Stray Kids launches a new world tour at KSPO Dome in Seoul's Songpa district. From there, the tour heads to Japan, with a stop at Tokyo's National Olympic Stadium, a venue no overseas male artist has headlined before. Nagoya, Osaka, Hong Kong, and Bangkok follow.

On the recorded music side, their 10th mini-album THIS & THAT drops August 7, with 'RUN IT' among the tracks included. Four mini-albums a year is now the standard operating pace for SKZ, and this release cycle looks no different.

The chart sweep is impressive on its own. But the real question is what 41-country iTunes domination looks like by the time the full album lands.
