The group Stray Kids (Stray Kids) once again shone on the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) 2025 annual global charts.
According to a recent announcement released on IFPI's official website, Stray Kids' fourth full-length album released in August 2025, "KARMA" (Karma), ranked No. 2 on the 2025 Global Album Sales Chart (Global Album Sales Chart). This was the highest-ranking K-pop album to enter the chart, demonstrating the group's power.
With this, Stray Kids achieved four consecutive years on the charts following 2022's "MAXIDENT" (Maxident) and "ODDINARY" (Oddinary), 2023's "★★★★★ (5-STAR)" (5-Star) and "樂-STAR" (Rockstar), 2024's "ATE" (8eight) and SKZHOP HIPTAPE (SkizHop Hiptape) "合 (HOP)" (Hap (Hap)), and placed a total of seven works in the IFPI annual Global Sales Chart top 10 during that period.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry ranks annual global charts each year based on physical album sales, digital track downloads, and streaming figures released worldwide. Stray Kids, which has consistently appeared across multiple categories since 2022, added top-tier achievements to their career by ranking in three categories on the 2025 charts: the Global Album Sales Chart, which held the highest position for a K-pop album; the Global Artist Chart, where they were the only K-pop artist in the top 10 at Nos. 2 and 6; and the Global Album Chart.
Stray Kids are expected to respond to fans' great love and demonstrate the resilience befitting a global top artist. They will hold their sixth official fan meeting, Stray Kids 6TH FANMEETING 'STAY in Our Little House' (Stay in Our Little House), at Incheon Inspire Arena on March 28 and 29 and April 4 and 5, and in June and September they will appear as headliners at The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York and Rock in Rio in Brazil.
