Stray Kids to sing for Japanese movie
Stray Kids rolled out their third EP in Japan on Wednesday, and a B-side track from the set was chosen as the theme song for a movie, according to label JYP Entertainment. The eight-piece act released the EP 'Hollow,' which is made up of five tracks, all co-written by the songwriting trio of Bang Chan, Changbin and Han. The new mini album is its first Japanese set with all original songs. A B-side track from the EP, 'Parade,' was selected as the theme song for the film 'Re/member: The Last Night,' a horror movie set to premiere in September. Last week, the band dropped the album's title track in advance, and the single topped the iTunes Top Songs Chart in eight regions as well as a series of music charts in Japan. It was unveiled first in May at the group's concert in Shizuoka.

Stray Kids Members Dominate One Billboard Chart — While The Band Doesn't
Stray Kids members dominate Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart with tracks from Mixtape: ... More Dominate, owning the top three spots as duos. In this image released on October 6, 2024, Changbin, Seungmin, I.N, Felix, HAN, Hyunjin, Lee Know and Bang Chan of Stray Kids arrive at the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Gilbert Flores/Penske Media via Getty Images) Stray Kids is one of the most successful K-pop groups in the world, and while it often takes the full band to top charts, this week proves that the members can pull off something incredible on their own. The singers that make up the group are having a standout frame on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, where they're not just placing well, they're almost completely taking over. Oddly, the band itself barely factors in. Stray Kids and its singers claim five spaces on the World Digital Song Sales chart. The tally only ranks the 10 bestselling 'world' tunes in the U.S., which means the K-pop act owns half the list. These tunes dominate the highest reaches of the roster, as tracks from the band's new project Mixtape: Dominate occupy the three highest spaces, and that turned out to be just the beginning for the K-pop favorites. Leading the charge is 'Escape,' which debuts at No. 1. The cut is credited to Bang Chan and Hyunjin, two members of Stray Kids. This frame, they own the bestselling world tune in the U.S., and plenty of their bandmates are right behind them. Lee Know and Seungmin launch 'Cinema' at No. 2, narrowly missing out on a first place start. Meanwhile, Changbin and I.N settle right behind them with 'Burning Trees,' which starts at No. 3. While the individual members are running the show this week, Stray Kids does show up once on the World Digital Song Sales chart. The group's track 'Giant' re-enters the ranking at No. 4. It's only managed two weeks on the tally so far, and during its debut frame, it peaked at No. 2. The only member of Stray Kids not represented on Mixtape: Dominate's wins on this tally still makes his presence felt on the list. Felix appears at No. 9 this frame thanks to 'Reawaker,' his collaborative track with Japanese singer Lisa. The tune once ruled the roster, and even though it's falling this frame — from No. 5 to No. 9 — it's holding on for a twelfth week. All of Stray Kids' new arrivals on the World Digital Song Sales chart come from Mixtape: Dominate. While the project is too short to qualify for any Billboard album charts, it's clearly still making an impact. The set itself may not be found on any tally, but the group members do find space on the list and score solo wins, which don't add to the boy band's overall discography, at least as far as the Billboard rankings are concerned.
