Stray Kids and their strong 2025 run
If you thought Stray Kids might slow down at the end of the year, think again! The group has been in beast mode in 2025, dropping four different projects since January, including their Japanese album “Hollow” and their Korean album “Karma.” Their newest release, the mini-album “Do It,” just arrived, and the demand is already wild. Every Stray Kids comeback sparks big expectations. “Do It” is already rising fast in the United States, climbing to the top spot as fans continue to stream and buy the project in massive numbers.
Wicked keeps the Crown, for now
At the moment, “Do It” sits at No. 2 on the iTunes Top Albums chart, narrowly missing the top ranking. Only one album is blocking their path to No. 1, and it’s a strong contender, “Wicked: For Good,” the soundtrack for the second part of the Wicked movie. Featuring performances by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, it shot to No. 1 almost instantly. With the film set to dominate the box office in days, the soundtrack’s momentum is only getting stronger. Still, Stray Kids can reach the top thanks to strong streaming numbers from their fans.
“Do It” is already proving itself as a major contender. While the EP powers toward the top of the albums chart, another Stray Kids project is getting a boost as well. “Karma,” their August album release and their only U.S.-charting album of the year so far, reentered the iTunes Top Albums chart at No. 89 thanks to the new mixtape hype. On the songs chart, the title track “Do It” landed at No. 38, securing a fresh Top 40 win for the group. “Divine” follows closely behind at No. 51, the festival version of “Do It” lands at No. 87, and the remaining tracks, “Photobook” and “Holiday”, debut at Nos. 112 and 145.
Will “Do It” become their eighth No. 1?
That’s the million-dollar question. Based on early numbers, fan energy, and their track record, there’s a real chance Stray Kids could score another historic chart-topper in the next few days. The EP is selling fast, the songs are charting across the board, and hype is growing by the hour. “Wicked” may be holding the top spot for now, but Stray Kids aren’t strangers to overtaking strong competition. If STAYs keep pushing, Do It might just be their eighth No. 1 in the United States.
