The agency said that "ODDINARY" has exceeded 1.3 million pre-orders as of the morning of March 16, two days before its official release.
Stray Kids has now broken their own best record in terms of pre-order count. Previously, their second full-length album "NOEASY" reached 930,000 pre-orders on Aug. 23 of last year. This goes to show that they achieved an increase of more than 400,000 units, demonstrating the expansion of their fandom.

In addition to this, Stray Kids' "ODDINARY" also now becomes the most pre-ordered JYPE album in history and the first and only album by a fourth-generation to surpass one million pre-orders. These two records were previously held by their own album "NOEASY."
If the number of "ODDINARY" pre-orders will turn into physical sales, the mini-album would earn Stray Kids another "million seller" title and would make them a double-million seller as "NOEASY" has previously sold over one million copies.
Furthermore, Stray Kids would surpass six million copies on Gaon if the mini-album sells one million copies. It would make them the sixth best-selling artist on the platform.
