Stray Kids' 'Karma' sells over 2 mln copies upon release

SEOUL, Aug. 25 (Yonhap) -- Boy group Stray Kids has achieved double-million-seller status with its fourth full-length album, "Karma," on the day of release, the group's agency said Monday.

JYP Entertainment said the album logged more than 2 million sales on Friday, immediately topping Hanteo's weekly physical album chart and Circle Chart's weekly retail album chart.

Globally, "Karma" ranked No. 1 on iTunes' Worldwide Albums and European Albums charts for three straight days through Sunday. It also took the top spot in countries including Japan, France and Australia.

On the global music streaming service Spotify, the album tallied over 18.26 million streams on release day. Its lead track, "Ceremony," drew 2.52 million streams, debuting at No. 27 on the platform's Daily Top Songs Global chart.

The release marks Stray Kids' first full-length album since "5-Star" in June 2023 and serves as a reflection on the achievements the group has made through years of hard work.
