Global superstars Stray Kids recently ignited a powerful new chapter with their latest release, Skz It Tape Do It, and now the group once again reaches unprecedented career milestones and rewrites Billboard 200 history. With Do It debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart, Stray Kids are the first act in history to debut their first eight charting albums at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. They also extended their record as the K-pop act with the most No. 1 albums in Billboard 200 history and the group with the most No. 1 Billboard 200 albums of the 21st century. With this latest achievement, Stray Kids now tie U2 for the third-most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, ranking just behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Not to mention, it was also revealed that Stray Kids received six new RIAA certifications across their catalogue, including a platinum certification for their single “God’s Menu,” and gold certifications for their previous album Karma and fan favorite singles “LALALALA,” “Chk Chk Boom,” “S-Class,” and “Case 143.” These historic achievements firmly solidify Stray Kids as one of the most dominant forces in global music today.
Triumphantly returning from their largest-ever world tour, Stray Kids World Tour Dominate, which spanned about 11 months, they released their fourth full album, Karma. The album made them a new chapter in Billboard 200 history, and Stray Kids marked another milestone with their first-ever stadium concert in Korea at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium.

Skz It Tape captures the hottest and most definitive mood Stray Kids want to showcase right now, seizing the moment of certainty: “This is it!” The album opens the series, delivering Stray Kids’ boundless support and encouragement to “act boldly with confidence right now.” While also telling the story of the group itself as they passionately seize the moment and create their own new “It.”
The album features five tracks, including the double title tracks “Do It” and “Divine,” along with “Holiday,” “Photobook,” and “Do It (Festival Version).” Once again, 3RACHA; Bang Chan, Changbin and Han took part in the production of every track, painting another vivid piece within their expansive musical universe. “Do It,” defined by its reggaeton base, cool attitude and powerful energy, delivers a message of “trusting your instincts and moving forward without hesitation,” while “Divine,” built on a free-spirited and cheerful boom bap rhythm, bursts with the unique excitement and liberation of Stray Kids as modern-day divines.
At the finale of their tour in October, the group held a celebratory festival, where they surprised fans by unveiling a comeback trailer.
