K-pop boy band Stray Kids debuted at number one on Billboard's main albums chart with their latest record "Oddinary," becoming the third K-pop act to top the chart.

Billboard announced on Tuesday that the seven-track album topped the Billboard 200 chart dated April 2. This is the eight-member group's first ever entry on the Billboard chart since debuting in 2018.

The chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. by calculating the total number of units sold in both physical and digital format. BTS and SuperM have previously topped the same chart.

According to the group's management agency JYP Entertainment, advance orders of the album exceeded one-point-three million copies, and it has sold 853-thousand copies in the first week of release.

The album also debuted atop the worldwide iTunes album chart and on the iTunes top album charts in 56 countries, including the U.S., Australia and Japan.

Stray Kids are scheduled to embark on a world concert tour next month, starting with performances in Seoul from April 29 to May 1, followed by stops in nine cities in Japan and the U.S.
