Stray Kids Surpass BTS, Linkin Park with Seventh Billboard No. 1

Powerhouse K-pop Stray Kids have made history, achieving their seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with "Karma".

The group now holds the record for the most No. 1 albums on the chart this century, surpassing the likes of BTS, Linkin Park, and Dave Matthews Band, according to Variety.

The 11-track album, which includes lead single "Ceremony", earned 313,000 album unites in the U.S., according to Luminate. This is the third-biggest week, by units, of 2025 among all albums, as well as the year's second-largest sales week.

Notably, all seven of Stray Kids' albums have debuted at No. 1, beginning with Oddinary in 2022.

Meanwhile, the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack is a non-mover at No. 2, with its best week yet: 125,000 album units earned. It has spent six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2. It’s the first soundtrack in the modern era (since May 1991, when the chart began utilizing Luminate’s electronically monitored tracking information) to spend at least six weeks at No. 2 without reaching No. 1.

Single “Golden” leads the Hot 100 for a third week, with Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” holding at their respective slots at Nos. 4 and 5, and “How It’s Done” pushing moving up to No. 9.

Closer to home, it is also topping the ARIA charts. It established a new record as it holds at No. 1 on the national albums tally for a sixth non-consecutive week, tying with Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet as the longest-reigning collection so far in 2025, ARIA reported.

Elsewhere in the charts, Laufey has scored her first Top 10 with the No. 4 arrival of "A Matter of Time", while Deftones landed their seventh Top 10 with the No. 5 entrance of "Private Music".

Tyler, The Creator's "Cherry Bomb" re-entered the chart at No. 6, while BigXthaPlug debuted at No. 7 with "I Hope You're Happy".
