Stray Kids claim eighth No. 1 album on the U.S. Billboard charts

Stray Kids has extended its own chart-topping record

-

K-pop boy group Stray Kids has topped the Billboard 200 for the eighth time, with its new album, Do It, debuting at No. 1 for the week ending November 27. With this debut, the group continues its historic streak atop the chart.

“All eight of the group’s Billboard 200 chart entries have debuted at No. 1, beginning with Oddinary in 2022. Last year, when Hop debuted atop the list, Stray Kids became the first act to debut at No. 1 with their first six entries in the 69-year history of the chart,” wrote Billboard managing director of charts and data operations Keith Caulfield. “Then in September, they extended that record to seven with the chart-topping bow of Karma. And now with Do It’s arrival, they extend that record to eight.”

This also extends Stray Kids’ record for the most No. 1s of any group of the 21st century (since the year 2000).

Released on November 21, Do It sold 295 thousand copies in the week ending November 27, and 286 thousand were physical albums. The EP includes five tracks: “Do It,” “Divine,” “Holiday,” “Photobook,” and “Do It (Festival Version).” Stray Kids’ production unit, 3RACHA, which is composed of members Han, Bang Chan, and Changbin, contributed to songwriting all five tracks.

The music video for “Do It” debuted one day before the album, on November 20, and has racked up over 44 million views.

Do It‘s Billboard debut follows Karma winning Album of the Year at the 2025 MAMA Awards.
