STAY
As we move forward, we want to be more intentional when it comes to Stray Kids’ music legacy. We want to think ahead if they ever choose to submit their work to spaces like the Grammys, which recognize music and cultural impact.
This would require being on the industry’s radar. One way we can help is by entering and climbing the U.S. Hot 100. Especially for non-English songs that receive little to no radio airplay, SKZ’s main strength relies on streams and song sales.
To support this, and considering recent Billboard chart changes, we are open to:
Billboard Rule Changes
As of January 16, 2026, YouTube no longer counts toward Billboard U.S. charts.
Views from official Stray Kids/JYP YouTube videos, like music videos, visualizers, official audios, dance practice videos, and lyric videos, no longer count and previously counted as streams toward Hot 100 and Billboard 200.
what this means
U.S. & Puerto Rico STAYs can help compensate for the loss of YouTube-driven streams and limited radio airplay through digital sales.
This can play an important role in reaching a new peak on the Hot 100
