Stray Kids have secured yet another No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The K-pop group’s second mixtape, DO IT, debuted at the summit of the chart for the week of December 6, 2025. According to Billboard, the project sold approximately 295,000 units in the United States, 286,000 of which were traditional album sales. This achievement marks the octet’s eighth No. 1 and makes them the first act in Billboard’s 70-year history to see their first eight entries all debut at the top of the weekly chart.

 

Their Billboard 200 journey began in March 2022 when their sixth EP, ODDINARY, opened at No. 1. Later that year, their seventh Korean-language EP, MAXIDENT, repeated the feat in October. They continued this momentum in June 2023 when their third Korean-language studio album, 5-STAR, claimed the top spot, followed by the EP ROCKSTAR in November 2023.

 

In July 2024, their ninth Korean-language EP, ATE, debuted at No. 1, followed by the mixtape HOP later that December. This year, they earned another chart-topper with their fourth Korean-language studio album, KARMA, which debuted at No. 1 in August and positioned them as the group with the most No. 1 albums in the 21st century. With DO IT, they extend that record and also set a new one as the group with the most No. 1 entries this decade.

 

So far, Stray Kids have sent four EPs, two mixtapes, and two full-length albums straight to No. 1, an extraordinary feat for a K-pop act that debuted only eight years ago. They now rank as the third group with the most No. 1 albums of all time, behind The Beatles with 19 and The Rolling Stones with 9.

 

Released on November 21, 2025, DO IT strengthens Stray Kids’ standing as an undefeated force among fourth-generation K-pop groups. They remain the Korean act with the most No. 1 entries on the Billboard 200 and currently sit at No. 3 on Forbes Korea’s 2025 list of Top 30 Korean Idols—the highest ranking for any K-pop group this year. 

 

Building on this momentum, the group also earned a Daesang for Album of the Year for KARMA at the recently concluded MAMA Awards. It is their first Daesang since debut.
