Discography 6 albums
Covers all six Stray Kids studio albums: four Korean (Go Live, Noeasy, 5-Star, Karma) and two Japanese (The Sound, Giant). The extended plays, mixtapes, single albums and reissues are a large part of the group’s output but sit outside this studio-album scope.

The Authorship Story
Data Insight
Almost nothing here is written from outside. Bang Chan holds a lyrics credit on 57 of the 71 album tracks and a music credit on 60, Changbin on 53 and 50, and Han on 50 and 47, which is the 3Racha unit writing the group's catalogue rather than receiving it. Bang Chan also arranges 42 tracks himself. The largest outside name is Versachoi, on 24 as composer and 27 as arranger, and he functions as a fourth chair rather than a replacement for any of the three.
