\n\tThe Kids are alright. Stray Kids<\/a>, however, are going gangbusters. In late August, the boyband landed their seventh No. 1 on the\u00a0Billboard 200<\/a>\u00a0albums chart with\u00a0KARMA, <\/em>notching the biggest entry for the year to-date.<\/p>\n \n\tAll seven of the pop outfit\u2019s entries on the national albums tally have debuted at No. 1, beginning with\u00a0ODDINARY<\/em>\u00a0in 2022. Last year, when\u00a0HOP<\/em>\u00a0debuted atop the list, Stray Kids became the first act to debut atop the Billboard 200 with their first six entries in the 69-year history of the chart. With\u00a0KARMA, their most recent release,<\/em> they extended that record.<\/p>\n \n\tAnd with a seventh No. 1, Stray Kids surpassed BTS, Linkin Park and Dave Matthews Band for the most leaders among groups on the all-genre Billboard 200 this century. Among K-pop bands, BTS<\/a>\u00a0is in second place, with six No. 1 titles.\u00a0ATEEZ<\/a>\u00a0is a distant third with two No. 1s on the weekly chart.<\/p>\n \n\tIn Korea, Karma<\/em> became the first K-pop album of the year to surpass 3 million copies in first-week sales.<\/p>\n \n\tThat was August. Fast forward a couple months and the release today (Nov. 21) of Stray Kids\u2019 new EP (or \u201cspecial album\u201d), DO IT<\/em>, via JYP Entertainment.<\/p>\n \n\tDO IT<\/em> is the first part of the SKZ IT TAPE<\/em> series, a musical command to \u201cact boldly with confidence right now,\u201d while also exploring the story of the group as they seize the day and create their own \u201cIT\u201d.<\/p>\n \n\tOn the live front, Stray Kids\u00a0have also been bagging bar-setting numbers<\/a>.
