Stray Kids (hereinafter 'SKZ') stood out on the annual global charts. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) recently announced the '2025 Global Album Sales Chart.' SKZ ranked 2nd with "Karma." This marks SKZ's fourth consecutive year charting. Previously, "Maxident" and "Ordinary" charted in 2022, "Five-Star" and "Rock-Star" in 2023, and "Eight" and "Hap" in 2024. The top spot went to American pop star Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Show Girl," which was named the best-selling global album of the year. SKZ achieved the highest ranking among K-pop albums.

"Karma" is the fourth full-length album released last August. Since the album's release, SKZ has continuously received love from global listeners. K-pop artists performed well on the charts. 3rd place was Seventeen, 4th place Enhypen, 6th place Tomorrow X Together (TXT), 7th place ZEROBASEONE, 9th place IVE, and 10th place G-Dragon. IFPI calculates the annual global rankings based on physical album sales, digital downloads, and streaming numbers worldwide each year.

SKZ is also planning fan meetings. From March 28 to 29 and April 4 to 5, they will hold the fan meeting "Stay in Our Little House" at Incheon Inspire Arena. Additionally, they will continue activities on the global stage. SKZ is scheduled to headline the "Governors Ball Music Festival" in New York, USA, in June and "Rock in Rio" in Brazil in September.

SKZ's recent achievements are regarded as proof of K-pop's global influence once again. The record of charting for four consecutive years demonstrates SKZ's continuous growth and expanding fan base. Amid fierce competition in the K-pop market, SKZ is attracting attention with their music and performances.

SKZ's fan meetings and global concert schedules provide opportunities to get closer to fans. Valuing communication with fans, SKZ strengthens their bond with fans through these activities. As K-pop artists actively perform on the world stage, SKZ plays an important role at the center of this movement.

SKZ's growth goes beyond chart performance. They are solidifying their position in the global market based on musical diversity and originality. They are expected to show further development through communication with fans. As artists leading the future of K-pop, SKZ's progress will continue to draw attention.
