K-pop boy band Stray Kids landed their eighth consecutive No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with their latest EP Do It (2025), becoming the first K-pop act to achieve this feat.

As at Dec 1, the record dethroned American pop star Taylor Swift's The Life Of A Showgirl (2025), which had been on the album chart for seven consecutive weeks.
The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States, measured by equivalent album units, which calculate overall music consumption, including physical album sales, digital track downloads and streams.
According to music data company Luminate, Do It earned 295,000 equivalent album units in the US as at Nov 27. Of that total, 286,000 were from traditional album sales, highlighting the group’s strong physical sales.
