Stray Kids, the South Korean boy band that's been steadily climbing the global charts, just hit a major milestone. Their latest album, aptly titled "Do It," has officially become a million-seller. JYP Entertainment, the powerhouse behind the group, made the announcement earlier this week, and it's safe to say the STAY fandom (that's the official name for Stray Kids fans) are absolutely buzzing.
Stray Kids SHOCK the World! Million-Seller & Globa...
But it's not just domestic success we're talking about here. "Do It" is making waves internationally too. The title track is tearing up Spotify, racking up over 3.33 million streams as of last Friday. That's enough to land it at number 11 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart. Think about that for a second – number 11 out of *all* the songs on Spotify. That's huge! It's a personal best for the group, surpassing all their previous releases.
And the US is definitely taking notice. "Do It" peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Daily Top Songs chart. Their previous high was number 49 with "Ceremony," so this is a significant leap. It speaks volumes about their growing popularity and the increasing recognition of K-Pop within the American music scene. You know, for a while, K-pop was seen as a niche thing, but now it's firmly in the mainstream. Even my own teenage niece is obsessed, which, let's be honest, is a pretty good indicator of what's trending.
Beyond streaming, "Do It" has also dominated iTunes charts in a staggering 20 countries and regions. We're talking Brazil, Sweden, Thailand – a real global takeover. And it topped both the Worldwide and European iTunes charts. The album itself secured the number one spot on iTunes Top Albums charts in 37 countries, from Singapore to Canada and even France. Pretty impressive, right?
Numbers don't lie, and the sales figures for "Do It" are equally impressive. According to Hanteo Chart data, the album sold a whopping 1.49 million copies on its debut day alone. That's million-seller status achieved practically overnight! This also catapulted it to the top of Hanteo's weekly physical albums chart and Circle Chart's weekly retail album list. It seems Stray Kids has found the perfect formula for success, blending catchy tunes with compelling performances and an undeniable stage presence.
But the momentum doesn't stop there. Stray Kids is slated to release a digital single, "Do It (Remixes)," which features six tracks, including the original and various remix versions. This will drop later today, and I'm sure the STAY fandom will be eagerly awaiting it. It's a smart move, offering something new for fans while keeping the "Do It" hype train rolling. It will be interesting to see where this goes and what is next to come from Stray Kids.
