Stray Kids Become Only K-Pop Group to Make Top 10 in Both Global Album and Artist Charts – “S-Class” Video Reaches 300 Million Views

Stray Kids have become the only K-pop group to simultaneously enter the top 10 of both the 2025 Global Album Chart and the Artist Chart. JYP Entertainment announced that the group’s fourth studio album, “KARMA,” ranked sixth on the 2025 Global Album Chart.

The Global Album Chart, which is determined based on physical album sales, digital song downloads, and streaming numbers, serves as a key indicator reflecting trends in the global music market. Stray Kids have entered this chart for four consecutive years, starting with “MAXIDENT” in 2022, followed by “★★★★★ (5-STAR),” “乐-STAR,” “ATE,” and now “KARMA.”

What is even more notable is their uniqueness in making it to the top 10 of both charts simultaneously. The group also secured second place on the previously released Global Artist Chart, and as of now, Stray Kids are the only K-pop artist to achieve such results.

Stray Kids’ success extends beyond chart performance. The group achieved eight consecutive number one positions on the U.S. Billboard 200 and successfully concluded their “DOMINATE” world tour.

Additionally, the music video for “S-Class,” released in 2023, has surpassed 300 million views on YouTube. “S-Class” is the focus track from their third studio album “5-Star” and was co-written by Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han. This marks Stray Kids’ sixth music video to reach 300 million views, joining “God’s Menu,” “Back Door,” “Thunderous,” “Maniac,” and “Lalalala.” The “5-Star” album sold 4.62 million copies in its first week, setting a record for the highest sales volume in K-pop history at the time of release and producing the group’s third consecutive number one song on the Billboard 200.

Stray Kids also have upcoming activities planned. They will hold their sixth official fan meeting at the Incheon Inspire Arena starting March 28, and in June, they will perform as headliners at The Governors Ball Music Festival in New York, U.S. Headlining the “Rock in Rio” festival in Brazil is also scheduled for September.
