Stray Kids continue their streak of strong performances with their latest release.

On August 22, the group released their fourth full-length album KARMA, surpassing 2 million copies in first-day sales according to Hanteo Chart, earning a double million-seller milestone within a single day. KARMA topped Hanteo's daily physical album chart (August 18–24) and Circle Chart's weekly retail album chart (August 17–23).

The album also performed strongly overseas, ranking first on iTunes Worldwide and European album charts (August 22–24) and claiming top positions in Japan, France, Australia, and other regions. Spotify streams reached 18.26 million on release day, marking the highest first-day K-pop group streams of the year and surpassing their previous record from their third full-length album FIVE STAR.

The title track CEREMONY is also gaining attention, maintaining a top position on Bugs real-time charts and performing well on iTunes song charts in Brazil, Thailand, and other countries. The music video debuted at No.1 on YouTube's Music Video Trending Worldwide on August 22 and has remained there for four consecutive days, surpassing 20 million views.

KARMA is Stray Kids' first full album in about two years since FIVE STAR. The group's producing team 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, Han) participated in all 11 tracks, including CEREMONY, Pitcheri, CREED, Messy, In My Head, Twist, Phoenix, Ghost, 0801, and special versions for fans and festival performances.

The title track CEREMONY is a grand celebratory song reflecting the group's return to Seoul after their world tour DOMINATE, which spanned 54 shows across 34 regions. Performance highlights included sporty-themed stages and outfits, with Hyunjin and Lee Know contributing to choreography.

Stray Kids will continue the momentum with the release of the digital remix single CEREMONY MAXIMUM POWER REMIXES on August 25 at 1 PM KST (midnight ET).
