Stray Kids is now the K-Pop artist with the most RIAA certified Gold albums

Global boy group Stray Kids continues to break records.

Recently, the group's latest album, 'HOP,' was certified RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) Gold. This makes Stray Kids the K-Pop artist with the most RIAA Gold Album Certifications in history. The RIAA grants gold certification to singles/albums that reach 500,000 sales in the United States.

Stray Kids' fifth Gold-Certified album, 'HOP,' was their sixth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 Chart, marking Stray Kids as the first act to debut straight at No. 1 with their first six charting albums. The project also landed at  No. 1 on the World Albums Chart and Top Album Sales Chart upon release. 

Meanwhile, the group's ongoing global tour marks their first full run of stadium dates around the world, where they have already sold out and added multiple nights in several cities. The 2025 leg kicks off at Estadio Bicentenario La Florida in Chile on March 27, making stops in cities like Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, London, and more before wrapping up with a recently added show in Rome at Stadio Olimpico on July 30.
