Stray Kids (Stray Kids) showcased their power as a "global top artist" by sweeping the top 10 in album and CD sales in the United States in 2025.
On the 14th (local time), Luminate released the "2025 Year-End Music Report," which showed that Stray Kids ranked among the top positions in the U.S. Top 10 Albums category and the U.S. Top 10 CD Albums category with numerous works released in 2024 and 2025.
In the U.S. Top 10 Albums category, which combines physical album and digital sales, Stray Kids' fourth studio album KARMA, released in August 2025, sold 585,000 copies, and SKZ IT TAPE "DO IT," released in November, sold 460,000 copies, ranking 2nd and 4th respectively, making them the only K-pop artist to place on that chart's top 10.
In the U.S. Top 10 CD Albums category, KARMA rose to 2nd, the highest rank for a K-pop act, and DO IT and SKZHOP HIPTAPE "合 (HOP)", released in December 2024, ranked 3rd and 6th respectively. Stray Kids became the only artist to place three albums in the top 10, securing multiple works on that chart.
