K-pop boy bands Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, and Tomorrow X together ranked in the top 10 CD album sales in the US in 2025. 

Luminate, which supplies data to Billboard charts, released its 2025 Year-End Music Report, which presented data on global streaming and consumption, and year-end charts. 

In the total sales for the 2025 US Top 10 CD Albums, Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl“ ranked No. 1 with sales of 1.95 million. 

Stray Kids occupied three spots in the top 10. Their “Karma” is No. 2 with 524,000 in sales followed by “Do It” with 456,000 while “Hop” is No. 6 with 223,000. 

ENHYPEN’s “Desire: Unleash” is No. 4 with sales of 261,000 followed by  ATEEZ’s “Golden Hour: Part 3” with 223,000. 

Tomorrow X Together’s “The Star Chapter: Together” is No. 10 with sales of 168,000. 

Global girl group Katseye’s “Beautiful Chaos” is No. 7 with 186,000 in sales. 

In the 2025 US Top 10 Albums chart based on total sales, Stray Kids’ “Karma” is No. 2 with 585,000 while “Do It” is No. 4 with 460,000. 

The soundtrack for “KPop Demon Hunters” is No. 8 with 366,000 in total sales. 

“2025 in music was defined by a paradox: While global On-Demand Audio (ODA) streaming continued to climb, reaching a +9.6% growth rate, the domestic U.S. market began to show unmistakable signs of a mature market slowdown. The album made history by earning over 4 million equivalent album units in its first week in the U.S. alone, surpassing the debut of ‘Tortured Poets’ and becoming the biggest album release in music history. This achievement proved that, even in a mature market, the ceiling for engagement is still rising,” wrote Rob Jonas, CEO, Luminate. 

He added, “A study of Import/Export power rankings, identifying how local culture in markets including Nigeria and South Korea is influencing global listening habits. In 2025, the streaming-only era was officially left behind. Discovery is no longer a linear path, and Luminate data shows that the most successful artists are those who inhabit multiple spaces simultaneously.“
