Stray Kids has once again proven their powerful global presence.
According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Stray Kids’ 4th full album KARMA, released in August 2025, ranked No. 2 on the 2025 Global Album Sales Chart. This is the highest ranking achieved by a K pop album on this year’s chart.
The IFPI Global Album Sales Chart is based on worldwide physical album sales, digital downloads, and streaming data. Ranking No. 2 highlights the group’s strong performance across global markets.
With this latest achievement, Stray Kids has now placed seven albums in the IFPI annual Global Sales Chart Top 10 over the past four years. Beginning with MAXIDENT and ODDINARY in 2022, followed by ★★★★★ (5 STAR) and 樂 STAR in 2023, ATE and SKZHOP HIPTAPE 合 (HOP) in 2024, and now KARMA in 2025, the group has maintained consistent Top 10 results for four consecutive years.
In addition to ranking No. 2 on the Global Album Sales Chart, Stray Kids also entered the Top 10 on both the Global Artist Chart and the Global Album Chart in 2025. Notably, they were the only K pop artist to place in the Top 10 of the Global Artist Chart, ranking No. 2 and No. 6 in two major categories.
With seven Top 10 entries and the highest ranked K pop album of the year, Stray Kids continues to solidify their position as one of the leading global acts in the industry.
