Stray Kids have set a new milestone on Billboard's year-end charts, marking an unprecedented achievement for K-pop.
Billboard recently released its 2025 year-end charts, with Stray Kids appearing across approximately 12 different categories—the most ever for a K-pop act in a single year.
The group topped the World Albums Artists chart, while ranking No. 2 on Top Album Sales Artists and No. 7 on Top Artists Duo/Group. Their fourth full-length album KARMA placed No. 5 on both the Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales charts, the highest ranking ever achieved by a K-pop album in those categories.
The title track "Ceremony" entered the Dance Digital Song Sales chart at No. 20, making Stray Kids the only Asian artist to chart in that category this year.
On the World Albums chart, SKZHOP HIPTAPE 'HOP' claimed the No. 1 spot, with KARMA following closely at No. 2. Both albums also charted on the Billboard 200, with HOP at No. 128 and KARMA at No. 157, extending the group's record to seven and eight consecutive entries respectively.
Stray Kids now rank third globally among groups with the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. Following the release of "Do It" on November 21, they have continued their streak with eight consecutive No. 1 debuts.
Their global impact extends beyond albums. The world tour dominATE secured No. 10 on Billboard's Top Tours 2025 chart, the highest position achieved by a K-pop artist this year.
