'Maxident': Stray Kids get 3rd highest pre-orders with 2.24M, Knetz shocked they 'blew up'
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Stray Kids are truly flying high and are about to touch new heights of success as their latest album 'Maxident' just recorded 2.24 million pre-orders days before its actual release. This makes 'Maxident' the third-highest pre-ordered album in the history of K-pop. It is more impressive as their past album 'Oddinary', which was a record-breaker in its own right by topping Billboard 200, had only amassed 1.3 million pre-orders two days before its release making fans excited for 'Maxident'.
While 'Maxident' is set to be released on October 7, it was reported on September 28 that the album had reached a whopping number of 2.24 million pre-orders surpassing the likes of senior K-pop acts like Blackpink and NCT. It should be noted that the first two ranks are taken by BTS for their 'Map of the Soul' series which had accumulated 4 million and 3 million pre-orders back in 2020 and 2019. With Stray Kids coming in third, fans are proud. This also makes them the fourth-gen group with the highest pre-orders.
