Stray Kids released their second remix single from 'This & That' on August 12, following the first drop just two days earlier. The mini album has already topped domestic and global charts, and a Billboard 200 No. 1 projection is on the table for the August 22 chart dated entry.

Stray Kids are keeping the This & That era moving fast. On August 12, the group dropped their second remix single in three days: This & That (That Remixes), a four-track digital release that follows This & That (This Remixes), which landed on August 10.

The new single includes the original title track, an instrumental version, a That Version blending Latin rhythms with EDM, and a Cool Version that pushes the production into harder, more intense sonic territory. Each remix is a distinct reframe rather than a minor adjustment, which gives STAYs something genuinely new to dig into rather than just a packaging update.

The commercial picture behind the release is strong. Since the mini album This & That arrived on August 7, it has reached No. 1 on the Gaon (Circle) and Hanteo daily album charts, then held both the Hanteo weekly album chart (August 3–9) and the Circle weekly retail album chart (August 2–8). Internationally, the album debuted at No. 1 on Spotify's Top Song Debuts Global chart and No. 2 on Top Albums Debut Global for the August 7–9 period, and held the top spot on both the worldwide and European iTunes album daily charts for four consecutive days.

The title track's music video crossed 50 million YouTube views within three days of release, one of the cleaner signals of how quickly the fan base engaged with the comeback.

The number drawing the most attention right now: This & That is projected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with the August 22-dated chart result set to go public on August 17 (KST). If confirmed, it would mark another top-tier chart milestone for a group that has been a consistent presence on the American album chart.

Beyond the releases themselves, Stray Kids have been filling the comeback window with content. A Spotify Korea Shuffle Live featuring swapped parts gave fans a different angle on the material, and a choreography practice video and a YouTube series called Kebong Bakdu have kept the group visible between drops. Appearances on Workdol and Matchunakani are also scheduled.

Meanwhile, the group's in-house producing trio 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) is running a Spotify video podcast series called 3RACHA Session, where they walk through their creative process for the album. New episodes drop every Monday at 8 p.m. KST on both Spotify and YouTube, and for fans curious about how the production decisions behind This & That actually came together, it is worth a listen.
