Yo, listen up! Stray Kids just straight-up dominated 2025 in the U.S. with their fourth full album, KARMA. This ain’t no small feat — they’re rockin’ the #1 spot for the year’s best-selling single album in America. That’s right, since January 3rd to September 18th, KARMA moved a whopping 392,899 physical copies in the U.S. alone. Mic drop.
But wait, there’s more. These guys aren’t just selling albums; they’re breaking records like it’s their day job. Stray Kids are the first-ever K-pop artist to hit over 1 million physical and digital album sales in the U.S. in a single year—not once, but two years running! That’s like winning the music lottery twice in a row.
Remember their KARMA album? It wrecked their own first-week sales record in the U.S. and zoomed straight to #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Not just once, but seven times in a row they’ve debuted at #1 on Billboard 200 since their debut — no other artist in the 70-year history of that chart has done that. Stray Kids = LEGENDS.
Plus, they’ve been chilling in the top 10 of Billboard 200 for three weeks straight, and just recently dropped at #12. They’re also killing it on the World Albums chart at #1, and placing high on all sorts of sales charts like ‘Top Album Sales’ and ‘World Digital Song Sales’. Basically, they’re the marathon runners of the music biz, not just sprinters.
Oh, and in France? KARMA snagged a GOLD certification, which means they sold over 50,000 units there. This is their FIFTH gold certification from the French music association. The streak continues!
And the hype train ain’t stopping — Stray Kids are hitting up Incheon on October 18-19 for their first-ever stadium concert in Korea, wrapping up their mind-blowing world tour with 54 shows in 34 cities. Tickets sold out faster than hotcakes, and if you can’t make it in person, no worries — they’re streaming the finale live online for all the fans.
Stray Kids ain’t just playing the game; they’re rewriting the rules. Karma’s a wild ride, and these guys are riding it all the way to the top.
