Billboard updates the Billboard 200 albums chart each Tuesday (with adjusted release schedules on some holiday weeks), reflecting data from the previous week (Friday-Thursday). Each Billboard chart is then dated “Week of (date of the upcoming Saturday)”. This market will resolve according to the number 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart dated “Week of August 22, 2026”. The named albums will be primarily ranked by order on the specified chart. If two or more albums are tied for any position, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the albums' listed titles. This market will resolve to the album that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. This market will resolve as soon as the relevant chart is published. If the Billboard 200 chart for the specified week is not published within 14 calendar days of the expected release date, this market will resolve to “Other”. The resolution source for this market will be the Billboard 200 chart for the specified week, published on the Billboard website (https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/) or through other official Billboard channels.Stray Kids’ THIS & THAT drives the near-certain market consensus through blockbuster first-week projections of roughly 343,000 units, fueled by dedicated STAY fandom purchasing power, self-produced tracks from 3RACHA, and rapid title-track streaming momentum after its August 7 release. The group’s eight prior Billboard 200 debuts at No. 1 create a strong historical baseline, with minimal competition from recent or upcoming albums such as Ariana Grande’s Petal. An upset would require an unforeseen late surge in pure sales or equivalent streaming from another project, though current midweek data and release timing make that scenario highly improbable.
