스트레이 키즈 컴백: Stray Kids Secure French Gold, AMA Nod and Festival Headlines
Hey there, STAYs! If you’ve been following the buzz around 스트레이 키즈 컴백, you know the boys have been on a roll lately. Let’s dive into the latest milestones that are making headlines across the globe.
A Historic French Gold Single
Our investigation found that the title track “칙칙붐 (칙칙붐)” from Stray Kids’ mini album 에이트 (Eight), released on July 19 2024, has officially earned a single gold certification from the French SNEP (France’s 음반협회). The track surpassed 15 million streams in France, triggering the accolade. This marks Stray Kids’ very first single gold award, makes them the inaugural fourth‑generation boy group to achieve this, and places them as only the second K‑pop boy group ever to receive a French SNEP single gold.
It’s worth noting that the SNEP, founded in 1922, bases its certifications on a blend of sales, streaming and download figures. So hitting that 15 million‑stream threshold is no small feat—it reflects genuine fan engagement in the French market.
Album Gold Streak Continues
Before this single triumph, Stray Kids had already stacked up an impressive set of album‑level gold certifications. The group’s regular album 파이브스타 (Five Star), the mini albums 락-스타 (Rock-Star) and 에이트 (Eight), plus the hip‑hop tape 합 (합) each surpassed the 50 000‑unit mark, earning four separate album gold awards. This consistent performance shows how the group’s discography resonates strongly with collectors and streaming audiences alike.
AMA Recognition – Two Years Running
Shifting focus to the States, Stray Kids have secured a nomination for the 2026 American Music Awards in the “Best Male K‑Pop Artist” category. This is their second consecutive year being recognized at the AMA, one of the United States’ three major pop‑music ceremonies. Being nominated back‑to‑back underscores the group’s growing impact on the American scene and their ability to stay relevant amid fierce competition.
Festival Headlines: New York and Rio
Looking ahead, the boys are set to bring their high‑energy performances to two of the world’s biggest stages. On June 6 they’ll headline New York’s The Governors Ball Music Festival, and on September 11 they’ll take the main stage at Brazil’s Rock in Rio. Both festivals are known for drawing massive international crowds, and Stray Kids’ headliner slots promise to be a highlight for fans attending in person and those watching via livestreams.
What a way to celebrate a comeback! From earning a historic French gold single to gathering award nods and locking in festival headliners, Stray Kids are proving that their momentum is only getting stronger. Keep streaming, keep voting, and stay tuned for what’s next—because the journey is far from over.
