According to JYP Entertainment on September 3, THIS & THAT, released on August 7, has officially received a Gold certification from SNEP after surpassing 50,000 units in France.
What makes the achievement even more impressive is the speed. The album reached the certification threshold in just around 20 days after its release, proving once again that Stray Kids has built a strong and loyal fanbase across Europe.
With this latest certification, Stray Kids now has six French Gold-certified albums, following major releases including their third full-length album ★★★★★ (5-STAR) and fourth full-length album KARMA.

Stray Kids’ global momentum is also continuing in the United States.
THIS & THAT debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on the chart dated August 22, marking the group’s ninth No. 1 album on the prestigious U.S. chart.
Even after its debut week, the album has maintained its strong performance, remaining inside the Billboard 200 Top 10 for three consecutive weeks.
