IFPI compiles annual global chart rankings based on physical album sales, digital song downloads, and streaming figures worldwide. Since 2022, Stray Kids have appeared in multiple categories, and in the 2025 chart, they ranked 2nd on the Global Album Sales Chart—the highest position for a K-pop album—2nd on the Global Artist Chart, and 6th on the Global Album Chart. This made Stray Kids the only K-pop artist to enter the Top 10.
To repay the great love from their fans, Stray Kids are planning various activities. They will hold their sixth official fan meeting, "Stray Kids 6TH FANMEETING 'STAY in Our Little House'," at Incheon Inspire Arena on March 28 and 29, and April 4 and 5.
