SEARCHES FOR ‘STRAY KIDS 5 STARS’ SKYROCKETED 212.5% AS THE ALBUM BECOMES THE MOST PRE-ORDERED OF ALL TIME

Analysis of Google search data reveals that online searches for ‘Stray Kids 5 Stars” exploded 212.5% worldwide on May 30th (GMT), as the latest album of the Korean boy band became the most pre-ordered of all time.

New insights by online casino guide 6Takarakuji reveal that the 8-member group Stray Kids have broken yet another record with their latest full album, ‘5-STAR’, which was released on Friday, June 2nd. In fact, the group managed to break Seventeen’s record only a few weeks after the release of their 10th mini album ‘FML’ on April 24th.

‘5-STAR’ debuted with over 5.13 million pre-orders, while ‘FML’, now second, has 4,640,000.

The third most pre-ordered album of all time is BTS’ ‘Map of the Soul: 7’ which came out in 2020 with 4,020,000 pre-orders.

Further down on the list, another BTS album, ‘Map of the Soul: Persona’, takes fourth place with 3,021,822 pre-orders, while another Stray Kids album, ‘Maxident’, closes the top five with 2,370,000 pre-orders.

On top of this, Stray Kids’ ‘5-STAR’ up until today, June 6th records 3,707,753 copies sold, only five days after its release.

A spokesperson for 6Takarakuji commented on the findings: “It is well known by now for anyone who follows K-pop even from afar that Stray Kids are one of the most profitable and therefore successful boy groups of what is commonly called ‘4th generation’. The data gathered regarding the pre-order numbers and the Google searches only seem to confirm this even further, as the group is currently at the centre of Worldwide talks.”

“Stray Kids debuted in 2018, making the 8-member group only five years old, but already capable through their popularity and fan base of being next to some of the most well-known names of K-pop such as BTS and Blackpink, whose latest album also figures in the list at 11th place.”

“These numbers are not only a testament to the group’s great beginning but also a prediction of their shining future, as pre-orders and support only seem destined to grow as the group solidifies itself as a pillar of a newer and fresher generation of K-pop artists”.
