Stray Kids' 'DO IT' Sweeps Fans to Victory in New Music Poll
In a resounding victory, South Korean boy group Stray Kids' latest mixtape, 'DO IT', took the top spot in this week's fan-voted music poll on Billboard. With an overwhelming 86% of the vote, the five-track EP (released via JYP Entertainment) left other new releases in its wake.
' DO IT' marks the follow-up to Stray Kids' fourth Korean-language studio album, 'Karma', which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart earlier this year. The group has described 'DO IT' as part of their "SKZ IT TAPE" series, a musical command to "act boldly with confidence right now." In an interview, the members stated that the mixtape is meant to be a message of hope and self-empowerment for their fans.
Comprising tracks such as "Do It", "DIVINE", "Holiday", "Photobook," and "Do It (Festival Version)", 'DO IT' features a mix of genres including electronic dance music, hip-hop, and pop. The lead single, "Do It", was accompanied by a cinematic music video release this week.
The poll saw Tate McRae's "So Close to What???" trailing behind with nearly 6% of the vote, as well as the Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-led cast's 'Wicked: For Good' official movie soundtrack with just over 5% of the vote. The latter was a surprise entry in the poll but ultimately fell short against Stray Kids' impressive showing.
The victory cements Stray Kids' position among global K-pop acts, who have seen significant growth in popularity following the success of groups such as BTS and Blackpink. With 'DO IT', Stray Kids continue to push the boundaries of contemporary pop music with a fusion of genres and a dedicated fanbase that drives their creative direction.
Fans worldwide will be eagerly awaiting more from this talented group, now firmly established as one of the leading acts in modern K-pop.
