Republic will extend its rule atop the album chart to 14 consecutive weeks with another big #1, this time from Stray Kids' 5-Star (JYP/Imperial).

The South Korean octet, which last topped the chart in October with EP Maxident, is on pace for an opening in the range of 190-220k.

In a similarly impressive run, we've managed to skip the gym for 14 consecutive weeks. It's called "consistency"; look it up.
