Stray Kids (realstraykids) have just made a first-ever record in the 70-year history of the Billboard 200.
According to Billboard’s preview article, their 4th full-length album KARMA debuted at No. 1 on the Sept. 6 Billboard 200 with about 313,000 U.S. sales in its first week.
With this, all seven of Stray Kids’ Billboard 200 entries — starting with ODDINARY in 2022 — have debuted straight at No. 1.
Stray Kids’ No. 1 Billboard 200 debuts:

KARMA also smashed their own U.S. first-week sales record — up about 63,500 from their previous best (★★★★★ (5-STAR), 2023). This makes it the top first-week sales for a K-pop album in the U.S. in 2025, and across all artists, the 3rd biggest of the year, behind only Morgan Wallen and The Weeknd.
Undeniably one of the biggest K-pop acts in the world — what a massive achievement for Stray Kids! 👏
