KARMA topped the ranking in a week that also saw new releases streaming in from Doja Cat, Laufey and more. In a narrow victory KARMA was the crowd’s top pick, with the set bringing in more than 50% of the vote — sliding just ahead of Doja Cat’s new single.
Stray Kids’ fresh full-length LP is a collection of 11 tracks — including the single “Ceremony” feat. STAY — all produced by 3RACHA.
KARMA tells a story about destiny from the unique perspective of Stray Kids, according to a press release that announced the album. “Destiny is shaped by a tangled web of choices and consequences,” it said. “KARMA begins with this very idea — an attempt to interpret Stray Kids’ fate. Despite countless external judgments and inner conflicts, they have continued to forge their own path with unwavering resolve. Through their music, Stray Kids represent a story of growth.”
The boy band wrapped their largest world tour to date, Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE>, at the end of July after putting on 54 shows across five continents.
