Stray Kids has ranked in the top 10 for album sales in the United States for the first half of this year.
Luminate released its music report for the first half of 2025. They are one of the key agencies responsible for the official tracking and analysis of the U.S. music industry and also provide data to Billboard.
According to the report published on the 17th, Stray Kids achieved the 2nd position in the U.S. Top CD Albums category with their album 'SKZ-EP HOP,' released last December.
They recorded 149,000 CD album sales in the United States, marking the highest rank among Asian artists, including K-pop. This proves their tremendous worldwide popularity.
The members have charted in this category for three consecutive years with different albums each year, which is also a first. They previously made the charts with the mini-albums 'MAXIDENT' (2023) and 'ROCKSTAR' (2024).
Stray Kids also secured the 8th spot in the U.S. Top 10 Albums category with 'HOP,' the highest ranking for any Asian artist.
Last year, they set a new record on the Billboard 200 chart. With 'HOP,' they achieved the remarkable feat of entering the chart with their debut album for six consecutive times, an unprecedented achievement in the 69-year history of the chart.
Stray Kids continues to achieve dazzling results in the global music market. Their world tour 'domiNATE' is also successfully underway in Europe, featuring eight performances across six locations.
They will be the first K-pop artists to perform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 18th and 19th. Following that, they will continue to Madrid on the 22nd, Paris on the 26th and 27th, and Rome on the 30th.
