Stray Kids Achieve Historic Seventh No. 1 on Billboard 200 with New Album Karma
The eight-member boy group Stray Kids has ascended to the top of the Billboard 200, marking their seventh time reaching this milestone. According to Billboard, Stray Kids new studio album Karma debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart as of the end of last month. This marks the first time an artist has achieved seven consecutive albums reaching the top spot on this chart, breaking the previous record held by BTS, who had six albums at No. 1.
Billboard has been a recognized authority in the music industry since 1956, publishing the Billboard 200 based on album sales and the Billboard Hot 100, which has ranked singles since 1958. These charts serve as global benchmarks for the popularity of music.
The Billboard 200 ranks albums based on a combination of physical album sales, digital streaming equivalent to album sales, and digital downloads converted to album sales. Stray Kids, formed by JYP Entertainment in 2017, had previously topped the chart with albums such as Ordinary, Maxident, and Eight starting from 2022.
Critics note that Stray Kids success stems from their commitment to maintaining their unique style, resisting the temptation to focus on collaborations with overseas songwriters or artists. They emphasize that the groups determination, foundational skills, and the appeal of their music and performances have been key drivers of their popularity.
However, some experts believe that for Stray Kids to take their career to the next level, they may need to produce more mainstream hit songs. There are suggestions that the members involvement in songwriting and their efforts to infuse Korean identity into their music are distinctive characteristics that have helped define their sound.
