Stray Kids’ “Do It” Reaches No. 4 on Billboard 200, Setting New Record for First Group in 21st Century to Have 8 Consecutive No. 1 Albums

Stray Kids, a flagship group of Korean K-pop, has achieved a historic milestone on the Billboard charts. According to the latest chart rankings released by Billboard on the 8th, the group’s new album “Do It” landed at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Although this album dropped three spots from its debut position of No. 1 in the previous week (December 7), what is more noteworthy is that it enables Stray Kids to become the first group in the 21st century to have eight consecutive No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. This streak began with “Oddinary” (2022) and clearly demonstrates the musical dominance of K-pop idol groups. On the same chart week, the OST for “KPop Demon Hunters” also made it into the top rankings. This soundtrack rose two spots to land at No. 3. During the most recent tracking period, “Do It” recorded 64,000 album units, while the “KPop Demon Hunters” OST accumulated 66,000 album units. Album units are a metric that combines traditional album sales, Streaming Equivalents Albums (SEA), and Track Equivalents Albums (TEA). The chart’s No. 1 spot was held by pop superstar Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl,” which has now maintained a non-consecutive No. 1 status for eight weeks. Stray Kids’ achievements, including winning a total of eight awards at the 2025 Asia Artist Awards such as “Artist of the Year (Singer)” and “Album of the Year,” further enhance the global standing of K-pop groups. They also solidified their status as the second most successful global tour of 2025 with their “dominATE World Tour” over the past year, continuing to expand K-pop’s international influence.
