Stray Kids are in the middle of another huge week on the Billboard charts. The South Korean boy band returns to No. 1 across multiple rankings with its new EP Do It, which becomes an immediate bestseller – as does everything from the K-pop idols.

As the Do It EP opens as high as is possible across several lists, including the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales chart, the single of the same name, which fronts the project, also becomes a major win in the U.S. and helps Stray Kids advance again on the list of the most successful K-pop acts in American history.

Stray Kids Debut “Do It” on the Hot 100

“Do It” – the song – launches on the Hot 100 this week at No. 68. Stray Kids earn a fifth career win on the roster of the most consumed tunes throughout the country. That is one of the most impressive accumulations among all groups in the K-pop genre.

Stray Kids Match NewJeans with a New Hot 100 Smash

With a fifth Hot 100 hit, Stray Kids pull out of a tie with Huntr/x, the fictional girl group created for Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters. That trio accrued all four of its appearances in just the past few months, led by the Grammy-nominated “Golden.”

Stray Kids are now on the same level as NewJeans, and the two jointly claim the third-most Hot 100 smashes among K-pop groups.

Which K-Pop Groups Claim the Most Hot 100 Hits?

Looking solely at non-soloists from the K-pop space, BTS continues to lead the charge and likely will for a long time to come. The South Korean septet has thus far earned 27 smashes on the Hot 100. 10 of those tunes have cracked the top 10, and half a dozen have risen all the way to the summit.

Earlier this year, Blackpink returned with its new single “Jump,” and when that track arrived on the Hot 100, the girl group became only the second name in K-pop to claim double-digit appearances on the Hot 100 with a milestone 10 hits.

Which Stray Kids Songs Have Reached the Hot 100?

Stray Kids first landed on the Hot 100 in November 2023, when “LaLaLaLa” debuted and peaked at No. 90. Just six months later, the group would return to that spot as “Lose My Breath,” a collaboration with Charlie Puth, stalled in the same position and similarly held on for just one turn.

In August 2024, Stray Kids cracked the upper half of the Hot 100 for the first time — and so far, the only time — with “Chk Chk Boom.” That track still stands as the outfit’s loftiest placement, and it has climbed to No. 49.

Stray Kids have scored two Hot 100 hits in 2025. Three months ago, “Ceremony” kicked off its time at No. 52, and now “Do It” lands right in the middle of the act’s catalog.

Stray Kids Match Ejae and Psy on the Hot 100

Looking at all K-pop acts, including both groups and soloists, Stray Kids are tied for the ninth-most Hot 100 hits. Stray Kids are now on the same level as NewJeans, as well as Psy and Ejae, one of the three members of Huntr/x.

BTS and Blackpink lead with their 27 and 10 smashes, respectively, while members of both of those groups come next. J-Hope is up to nine appearances on the list, while Jung Kook claims seven. Two BTS stars — Jimin and V — as well as half of the singers in Blackpink — Lisa and Jennie — have accrued half a dozen successes.

“Do It” Becomes an Instant Bestseller in America

As “Do It” earns Stray Kids a fifth hit on the Hot 100, it also becomes the vocal troupe’s fifth top 10 and seventh overall win on the Digital Song Sales chart, where it begins at No. 10. “Do It” opens inside the highest tier on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., launching at No. 8, while simultaneously just missing out on that tier on the Billboard Global 200, where it begins its time at No. 13.

Stray Kids Add Another No. 1 Hit in America with “Do It”

Stray Kids earn an eighth No. 1 on the World Digital Song Sales chart as “Do It” arrives. The boy band is up to an incredible 48 top 10s and 74 overall wins.

Two other tracks from the Do It EP also debut on the World Digital Song Sales tally, increasing the boy band’s total number of top 10 wins by three in just one frame. “Divine” opens at No. 3, while “Photobook” launches at No. 7.
