Stray Kids has once again proven its status as a global top artist by achieving the milestone of surpassing 40 million cumulative album shipments for releases in Korea and Japan.
Stray Kids has reached cumulative shipments of 40,267,158 across a total of 28 albums released in Korea and Japan as of April 2026. Looking in detail, from the January 2018 pre-debut album "Mixtape" to SKZ IT TAPE "DO IT," released in November 2025, 19 domestic albums recorded cumulative shipments of 35,742,708 based on Circle Chart.
In Japan, from the first best album "SKZ2020" released in March 2020 to the mini album 3 "Hollow" released in June last year, nine albums sold 4,524,450 copies. This is a brilliant achievement reached in just about one year and three months since surpassing cumulative shipments of 30 million in January 2025.
This formidable album power translated directly into global chart performance. Last year, Stray Kids set a remarkable record by entering the U.S. Billboard main album chart, the Billboard 200, at No. 1 for seven consecutive entries and eight consecutive entries respectively with the fourth full-length album "KARMA" and "DO IT." In addition, multiple works ranked high in Luminate's 2025 year-end report under "U.S. top albums" and "U.S. top CD albums," and Stray Kids achieved the highest results among K-pop artists on the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) 2025 "global album chart" and "global album sales chart."
Meanwhile, buoyed by explosive global popularity, Stray Kids will continue to perform major large-scale stages this year. On June 6 they will appear as headliners at the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, and on Sept. 11 they will perform as headliners at Rock in Rio in Brazil. In September, centered on Stray Kids, the newly planned large-scale festival "STRAYCITY" will launch a Latin America tour, thrilling fans around the world.
