Stray Kids continue to warrant the phenomenon label, with the group pacing for yet another mammoth album sales week in the United States.
According to Hits Daily Double, the group’s “Karma” should sell 275K US copies during the August 22-28 tracking period. With units from track sales and streams included, it may generate 290K in total first-week US consumption.
Both figures will dominantly rank as the week’s best, leading to #1 bows on both the Billboard Top Album Sales and Billboard 200 charts.
Other notables this week include Laufey’s “A Matter Of Time” (projected for #4 on the Billboard 200), Deftones’ “Private Music” (projected for #5 on the Billboard 200), Tyler, The Creator’s “Cherry Bomb’ (projected for #6 on the Billboard 200 following a vinyl issue), and BigXthaPlug’s “I Hope You’re Happy” (projected for #7 on the Billboard 200).
