Stray Kids Shatter Records on Spotify Ahead of 'DO IT' Comeback
K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids is igniting anticipation for their upcoming comeback with a new record set on Spotify, just days before the release of their album 'SKZ IT TAPE' on the 21st.
The track 'DO IT,' featured on the new album, has surpassed 1 million streams on Spotify's 'Countdown' feature, a metric reflecting user interest based on pre-saves before the album's official launch. This marks a historic first for a K-pop album.
This monumental achievement places Stray Kids in an elite group, following only global superstars Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' and Tame Impala's 'Deadbeat' as the third act in history to reach this milestone, underscoring the immense global appeal of the group.
Furthermore, 'SKZ IT TAPE' has dominated Spotify's 'Countdown Chart Global Top 10,' which ranks albums based on weekly pre-saves, holding the number one spot for three consecutive weeks. After securing their first #1 on the November 5th chart, they maintained their top position until the November 19th chart, building immense momentum just before the official release.
'SKZ IT TAPE' is crafted to showcase Stray Kids' most intense and definitive mood through music, with 'DO IT' serving as an ambitious opener. The album boasts five tracks in total, including double title tracks 'Do It' and 'Chk In', alongside 'Holiday', 'Photobook', and 'Do It (Festival Version)'. The group's in-house production unit, 3RACHA, consisting of members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, has helmed the production of all tracks, promising their signature sound.
Set to meet the high expectations of fans worldwide, Stray Kids' new album 'SKZ IT TAPE' 'DO IT' will be officially released on November 21st at 2 PM KST (12 AM EST).
Fans are flooding social media with excitement, commenting things like, 'Stray Kids setting new records even before comeback! So hyped!', 'The global reach of Stray Kids is no joke!', and 'Can't wait to hear the new tracks produced by 3RACHA!'.
