[OSENWORLD] Stray Kids are extending their historic Billboard streak with their latest album KARMA.
According to Billboard on Sept. 16 (local time), the group’s fourth studio album KARMA, released Aug. 22, ranked No. 8 on the Billboard 200 for the chart dated Sept. 20. On the Artist 100, they came in at No. 6.
Earlier this month, Stray Kids debuted KARMA at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the first act ever to debut their first seven albums at No. 1 on the chart. By staying in the top 10 for three consecutive weeks, they are proving that their success goes beyond historic firsts — it’s lasting global dominance.
The album and its title track CEREMONY also performed strongly across Billboard’s sub-charts, topping World Albums, hitting No. 2 on both Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales, and reaching No. 5 on World Digital Song Sales. In total, Stray Kids appeared on 11 different Billboard rankings this week.
Their dominance isn’t confined to the charts. On Oct. 18–19, the group will perform two encore concerts at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium, marking the finale of their dominATE world tour. The tour spans 54 shows across 34 cities, and the Incheon dates carry special meaning as Stray Kids’ first-ever stadium concerts in Korea — seven years after their debut.
Tickets for the shows sold out immediately after going on general sale on Sept. 16, promising a massive celebration with fans as Stray Kids wrap up one of the biggest chapters of their career.
