Fans Choose Stray Kids ‘This & That’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

The Story

THIS & THAT, Stray Kids’ new eight-song collection (which features an anthemic new track of the same name), tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (Aug. 7) on Billboard, choosing the octet’s latest release as their favorite new music.

THIS & THAT ruled in a landslide win on this week’s poll, in a week that also saw new music releases from the likes of Karol G, Madonna feat. Kylie Minogue, FLO, Role Model, Alex Warren and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, Stray Kids came out on top with 85% of the vote.

THIS & THAT kicks off with “RUN IT,” then goes into the self-assured title track (“This & That”), which also got the visual treatment with a music video (seen above) released on Friday; the video’s racked up more than 62 million views already on YouTube. The “this & that, this & that” refrain is one that’ll play in your head long after you’ve hit play on the song.

Tracks “After You,” “FARMING,” “I Do,” “Way Out,” “Back Then” and “This & That – (Festival Version)” round out the eight songs on the set, released via JYP Entertainment and the REPUBLIC Collective. Check out Billboard‘s thoughts on all eight songs here.

Though it’s too early to see where the just-released THIS & THAT lands on the charts, when it comes to official rankings, Stray Kids’ previous entries on the Billboard 200 have all debuted at No. 1 — from ODDINARY in 2022 up to DO IT in 2025.

Trailing behind THIS & THAT on the poll are Karol G’s No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, Madonna and Kylie Minogue’s “Love Sensation” remix and more.
