[OSENWORLD] Stray Kids just can’t stop winning — the group keeps smashing records and rewriting Billboard history.
According to Billboard’s official update on September 9 (local time), the group’s fourth studio album KARMA ranked No. 4 on the Billboard 200 for the week of September 13, holding strong in the Top 5 for a second straight week. The album and its title track “CEREMONY” also landed across 13 Billboard charts, including Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, Billboard Global 200, and World Albums.
Just last week, KARMA debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Stray Kids the first act in the chart’s 70-year history to debut seven consecutive albums straight at No. 1. They are also the only K-pop act to achieve the feat, underscoring their dominance on the U.S. charts.
Adding to their record-making streak, Stray Kids surpassed one million U.S. album sales in 2025 alone, covering both physical and digital formats. They now have back-to-back million-selling years, after first hitting the milestone in 2024.
Next up, the group will take the stage for their first-ever domestic stadium concerts at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on October 18–19, as part of the encore leg of their Stray Kids World Tour ‘dominATE : celebrATE’. The tour, which began in Seoul in August 2024 and runs through Rome in July 2025, has already seen them headline 27 stadiums across 34 cities — rewriting records at nearly every stop.
With their blend of immersive storytelling, explosive live energy, and record-breaking momentum, Stray Kids continue to prove themselves as K-pop champions who turn every stage into a story worth remembering.
