Updated industry predictions have Stray Kids still on track to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with #MAXIDENT, earning around 114,000 albums (107k from album sales) which would surpass the previous totals, album sales and streaming totals of their previous album. Keep going, STAY!

I felt like Rosé really came into her own for this tour and her solo stages, like a new energy than who we saw three years ago. While watching her perform "Hard to Love," I was imagining her playing an arena of her own one day too. Her efforts created this magic on stage
