Stray Kids are flexing serious sales muscle with their fourth studio album, 'KARMA.'
According to Luminate, the set―released Aug. 22―has sold 400,000 physical copies in the U.S. from Jan. 3 through Sept. 25, making it the country’s top year-to-date album by cumulative sales for a single title. The group continues to tighten its grip on the market, underscoring its growing stateside momentum.
'KARMA' also roared onto the Billboard 200 at No. 1, marking Stray Kids’ seventh leader. With that, they became the first act in the chart’s 70-year history to debut at No. 1 with seven consecutive releases.
Beyond the U.S., 'KARMA' earned a gold certification from France’s SNEP and most recently hit No. 1 on IFPI Greece’s albums chart for week 38 of 2025. Including earlier runs with '★★★★★ (5-STAR),' 'ROCK-STAR,' 'ATE' and 'SKZHOP Hiptape: HOP,' the group has now tallied five No. 1 stints there―making them the only Asian act with more than two chart-toppers.
Next up: Stray Kids play their first-ever Korean stadium dates―two sold-out nights at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on Oct. 18-19 for the Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE : celebrATE>, an encore stop of their globe-conquering run. The Oct. 19 finale will also stream live via the Beyond LIVE platform.
