Stray Kids Sets K-POP Record by Claiming 8 Consecutive No. 1 Spots on Billboard 200

K-POP group Stray Kids has rewritten chart history by achieving 8 consecutive No. 1 positions on the Billboard 200. This record was established when their new song “DO IT” debuted at No. 1 on the December 6 issue of Billboard 200. It represents an unprecedented achievement even in the history of global pop music. Stray Kids’ latest EP, “SKZ IT TAPE DO IT,” overtook Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” to take the top spot, pushing the latter off the No. 1 position for 7 consecutive weeks. Taylor Swift’s album is now ranked at No. 3. According to Luminate Music Data, as of November 27, Stray Kids’ album had sold 295,000 equivalent album units in the United States, of which 286,000 were traditional album sales. This figure demonstrates the group’s strong physical album sales performance. Stray Kids’ streak of 8 consecutive No. 1s began with “Oddinary” in March 2022. Subsequent albums such as “Maxident” in 2022, “5-STAR” and “Rock-Star” in 2023, “ATE” and “HOP” in 2024, and “KARMA” in June 2025 also reached No. 1. Notably, Stray Kids became the only group in Billboard history to have all 8 of their albums that entered the Billboard 200 reach the top position. They are now the group with the most No. 1 albums in the 21st century. Following them are BTS (6 albums), Linkin Park (6 albums), and Dave Matthews Band (6 albums). Among K-POP groups, BTS ranks second with 6 No. 1 albums, followed by Ateez (2 albums), BLACKPINK, SuperM, Tomorrow X Together, NewJeans, and Twice (1 album each). Stray Kids’ influence is also evident on other global charts. On the UK Official Singles Chart, their tracks “DO IT” and “Megaverse” reached No. 5 and No. 9 respectively (as of November 25). In Australia’s ARIA Top 50 Singles Chart, “DO IT” reached No. 10, marking the highest ranking for a K-POP artist this year. Additionally, Stray Kids won the Album of the Year award at the 2025 Mnet Asian Music Awards for “KARMA.” They are scheduled to perform at the 40th Golden Disc Awards, which will take place in Taipei, Taiwan, on January 10 next year.
