Stray Kids are making history again! Their latest album, KARMA, has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and other global charts. This achievement makes them the first group ever to have their first seven Billboard 200 entries debut at No. 1. They’ve also set a new record for the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 by any K-Pop act.
Released on August 22 through JYP Entertainment/IMPERIAL/Republic Records, KARMA sold 313,000 units in its first week in the U.S., marking it as the third highest album debut of 2025. The album also topped charts in France, Germany, and Belgium, and landed in the Top 5 in Australia.
KARMA follows Stray Kids’ successful world tour, where they performed 54 shows in 34 regions. They made history by being the first K-Pop group to perform in 27 stadiums, setting records for the largest audiences at 13 of those venues. They were the first K-Pop artists to perform in stadiums in cities like São Paulo, Seattle, Orlando, Washington D.C., Chicago, Toronto, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, and Rome.
KARMA is the follow-up to their Gold-Certified No. 1 album, HOP, which made Stray Kids the K-Pop artists with the most RIAA Gold Album Certifications. The 11 tracks on KARMA tell a story about destiny, connecting their past, present, and future. All songs are produced by their team, 3RACHA, who have created a unique musical world.
With this album, Stray Kids continue to top the Billboard 200, following their previous releases like ODDINARY, MAXIDENT, ★★★★★ (5-STAR), and ATE. Listen to Stray Kids’ KARMA now!
