K-pop boy group Stray Kids has claimed its eighth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with its new album 'Do It.' The album debuted atop the chart with 295,000 equivalent album units in its first week. This marks Stray Kids as the first act in chart history to have its first eight entries debut at No. 1.

Stray Kids' 'Do It' debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the week ending November 27, 2025, following its release on November 21. The album earned 295,000 equivalent album units, with 286,000 from physical sales, according to Billboard. The Billboard 200 ranks the week's most popular albums in the United States, based on a combination of physical sales, track equivalent albums (TEA), and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).

Billboard stated, "In September of this year, when 'Karma' opened atop the list, Stray Kids became the first act to debut at No. 1 with their first eight entries in the 69-year history of the chart. With 'Do It''s debut, they extend that record." It added, "In addition, with an eighth No. 1, Stray Kids extend their record for the most No. 1s among groups this century (since 2000)."

This achievement follows the group's previous No. 1s: 'Oddinary' and 'Maxident' in 2022, '5-Star' and 'Rock-Star' in 2023, 'Ate' and 'Hop' in 2024, and 'Karma' earlier in 2025.

The five-track album features double title tracks 'Do It' and 'Divine,' along with 'Holiday,' 'Photobook,' and a special 'Do It (Festival version).' The group's producing unit 3RACHA, consisting of members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, contributed to songwriting for all tracks. According to JYP Entertainment, the album captures "the group's journey of enjoying the present and forging new paths," based on the belief to "act boldly and confidently in the moment."
