Stray Kids are proving their global power once again this time by breaking a massive Spotify record even before their new album drops.
Ahead of the release of SKZ IT TAPE ‘DO IT’ on November 21, the group has officially surpassed 1 million Spotify Countdown plays, becoming the first K-pop act ever to reach this milestone.
This achievement places Stray Kids right behind industry giants like Taylor Swift (“The Life of a Showgirl”) and Tame Impala (“Deadbeat”), making them only the third artists in Spotify history to hit the mark.
3 Weeks at No.1 on the Countdown Chart
The excitement doesn’t stop there.
Stray Kids’ new album has held No.1 on Spotify’s Countdown Chart Global Top 10 for three consecutive weeks, a ranking based entirely on pre-save numbers.
- First hit No.1 on November 5
- Maintained the top spot all the way through November 19
- Earned the title “First K-pop album to reach No.1” on the chart
The streak shows just how massive the demand is for the group’s return.
What to Expect From ‘SKZ IT TAPE’
The new album captures the hottest, boldest sound Stray Kids want to deliver this era.
Tracklist (5 songs):
- DO IT (title track)
- Sinseonnoreum (신선놀음) (double title)

Every track was produced by the group’s in-house team 3RACHA — Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — continuing their signature self-produced style.
