On July 26, according to UK local time, the UK’s Official Charts—often compared to Billboard’s charts in the U.S.—announced that Stray Kids had made their debut in the top 40 of the Official Singles Chart for the very first time.

The group’s new title track, Chk Chk Boom from the album ATE, debuted at No. 30 on the Official Singles Chart this week, marking their highest-ranking song to date. Additionally, Chk Chk Boom soared to No. 3 on both the Official Singles Sales Chart and the Official Singles Downloads Chart.

On July 19 at 1 PM KST (9:30 AM IST), the group released their new album ATE along with the music video for the title track. Chk Chk Boom boasts confident lyrics with a catchy loop and a distinctive top line set to Latin-style hip-hop rhythms. The track was crafted by members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—collectively known as the producing trio 3RACHA—who wrote the lyrics and contributed to the composition. The music video includes a special appearance by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as their MCU characters, Deadpool and Wolverine.
