Stray Kids has once again rewritten its own Billboard history, extending its presence on the U.S. main album chart with sustained momentum rather than short lived impact.
According to Billboard’s latest chart dated December 27, Stray Kids’ fourth full length album ‘KARMA’ ranked at No. 130 on the Billboard 200, marking its 17th consecutive week on the main albums chart. This achievement sets a new personal record for the group, making ‘KARMA’ their longest charting album to date.
A Run Built on Consistency
‘KARMA’ first entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 on June 9, drawing global attention at the time of release. Rather than fading quickly, the album has maintained steady chart presence for over four months, underscoring its longevity and continued listener engagement. The extended run highlights Stray Kids’ ability to sustain global interest beyond debut-week performance an increasingly rare feat in the current album market.
Multiple Albums, Multiple Charts
Alongside ‘KARMA’, Stray Kids also placed their SKZ-RECORD style release ‘DO IT’ at No. 19 on the Billboard 200. The album additionally ranked on both Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales, reinforcing the group’s strong physical and digital sales power. Notably, ‘DO IT’ has seen particularly strong reception in parts of Europe. The album reached No. 1 on Greece’s official album chart, marking the group’s sixth overall chart topper in the region according to Billboard and IFPI data.
Recognized by Billboard
Stray Kids’ music continues to draw critical attention as well. Multiple releases including tracks from ‘KARMA’ and ‘Mixtape: Dominate’ were included in Billboard’s Best K-pop selections. Billboard described ‘KARMA’ as an album that “balances intensity with control,” noting that it further clarifies Stray Kids’ distinct musical identity.
A Historic Milestone
The group’s achievements continue to stack. With ‘DO IT’, Stray Kids recently became the first act in Billboard 200 history to secure eight consecutive No. 1 albums, further cementing their standing in global charts.
