Album sales at their peak: On the day of their reappearance, Stray Kids added a record million sellers (single album sales topped 1 million copies). The new Stray Kids mini-album, titled "MAXIDENT," was published on October 7 at 1 PM KST (9:30 AM IST).
Based on data from the Hanteo Chart at 6 PM KST (2:30 PM IST) on the day of release, October 7, this album sold 1,055,868 copies. With 2.37 million copies of the album pre-ordered as of the sixth, it is anticipated that the album would sell more than 2 million copies, making the singer a double million seller (singer with more than 2 million single albums). This prediction is based on the estimated future total album sales. Since their formal debut in March 2018 and for the first time in 4 years and 7 months, Stray Kids have achieved the status of double million sellers.

Billboard accomplishment: After BTS in 2018 and SuperM in 2019, this is the third time a Korean pop singer has held the top spot on the list. Being the top-ranked album on a non-English-speaking album is a feat accomplished 13 times in Billboard history. As a result, Stray Kids became the first JYP artist to sell one million albums and to top the Billboard charts, solidifying their position as the company's center axis.
