Closeup of soccer jersey that is bright blue and black vertical stripes with SKZ and Karma on it for Stray Kids.

Happiness is getting your Kpop merch and it fits 💕 #Happiness #StrayKids #SKZ #SKZKarma

Bang Chan by request! Karma PoP-Up and Makestar PCs just listed with the rest on the way.

Photocard showing Han from behind, making heart hands. He's wearing a cropped jacket and pants that cinch at the waist.

Changbin bookmark with the photo cropped in a way that his shirt appears to say "I ⭐ *UCK"

I have finished opening everything and looking through the photobooks and I'm not going to post lots of photos (at least not immediately) but I want to share these two.

#Han Jisung's waist looking even tinier than usual, and #Changbin's "I ⭐ *UCK" bookmark

Hand holding a jiniret plush wearing a KARMA jersey

I know a lot of people would kill for this #jiniret but I just wanna find a Melbourne-based stay who got #puppym or #wolfchan or #foxiny and who wants to trade 😅

Opened box containing 3 versions of the KARMA album by Stray Kids. There is some bubble wrap behind the albums, and a lot of empty space in the box

If I had opened the box and discarded the packaging at the post office, the contents would have easily fit into the bag I brought 😂

A parcel from Korea arrived today while I was out at work, and they didn't leave it unattended, so I must go to post office first thing tomorrow to pick it up.

It's probably my Karma preorders. Eeeee!

Seungmin in an interview, answering "It's 0801" to the question "Favorite song on the KARMA album?"

Every time #Seungmin's asked about his favourite song from KARMA, he gives a different answer.

So far, he's mentioned Bleep, Phoenix, 0801, and I think one other?? but I've only just noticed the pattern so I haven't been keeping track.

Skz members lined up behind microphones, ready to sing.

Anyway. Um.

Skz on Killing Voice: SO MUCH GOODNESS compressed into less than 22 minutes. Abbreviated versions of 15 (?) songs.

They finished with In My Head. It's fine but but eh I wish they picked Ghost or Phoenix as the 2nd track to perform from Karma […]

Does anyone else instantly tear up when Felix and Han say, "You're doing great," on 0801?
Just.
That hits me.
Everytime.

I've been so deep in the non-musical skz sauce for the past 18 months that I sometimes forget ...

I got into skz because their music is my favourite music.

(The rest of the obsession happened because I wanted to find out who was writing all these tracks that I loved. Because I wanted to find […]

Seungmin posing for a photo shoot. He's wearing a dark blue jacket and a black skirt over black pants.

Changbin posing for a photo shoot. He's wearing a jacket over a hoodie, a brown (?) camouflage print skirt, and chunky black boots.

Hyunjin posing for a photos shoot, twirling around to make his skirt go swoosh. He's wearing a black jacket over a chartreuse mesh shirt, a pleated white skirt over white shorts, and white knee boots.

There were *three* skirts in the first Karma jacket shoot concept (#Seungmin #Changbin #Hyunjin), but you wouldn't know it from the teaser photos they released. I hope the skirts are a bit more obvious in the actual album photos.

(I'm not looking up spoilers […]

he was exeptionally hot during that damned comeback stage. fucking demon. what do they feed you??

#jeongin #i.n #skz #ceremony #skzkarma #sketch #tsu-art

In My Head feels like a summer in 2010, also Changbin main vocal hello????? #skzkarma #skz

My brain misheard the "Ah-yeah" in the chorus of In My Head for "I.N" and now it's stuck, fuck 😂 #skzkarma #skz

congrats to stray kids for another zero skip album #skzkarma

Han, Seungmin, Changbin and Bang Chan sit around a table. Someone asks, "What do you mean?" Seungmin says, "Like it's teasing me"

Han clutches at something invisible and says, "So it keeps tightening and loosening, right?"

Bang Chan laughs at Han saying "It keeps building up like it's gonna burst." Captioner's addition: 'Half Time' holding back at the verge of exploding.

✂️ #Seungmin gets musically edged by "Half Time"

#BangChan and #Han are into it. Han gets illustrative and Chan is tickled.

MUSIC CHARTING Music charting is impacted both directly and indirectly, depending on how an artist's success is measured and influenced. Direct impact involves measurable actions like sales and streams, while indirect impact encompasses broader strategies that shape an artist's overall chart trajectory. Both aspects work together to determine an artist's position on music charts. Direct Impact Direct impact refers to the immediate and quantifiable effects that specific actions or events have on an artist's chart performance. Some examples are: Sales: When fans purchase an artist's music (digitally or physically) Streaming: Each stream of a song directly affects its ranking on streaming platforms and charts Radio Airplay: The number of times a song is played on radio stations All are measured directly in terms of units (e.g., sales units, streaming units). Direct Impact Direct impact refers to the immediate and quantifiable effects that specific actions or events have on an artist's chart performance. Some examples are: Sales: When fans purchase an artist's music (digitally or physically) Streaming: Each stream of a song directly affects its ranking on streaming platforms and charts Radio Airplay: The number of times a song is played on radio stations All are measured directly in terms of units (e.g., sales units, streaming units). Indirect Impact Indirect impact refers to less immediate but still influential factors that shape an artist's overall chart success. Some examples are: Cross-Platform Trends: These trends indirectly impact music charts by reflecting global music consumption patterns, viral trends, and an artist's engagement with fans. User Engagement on Music Platforms: Social media activity, such as the frequency of a song or artist mentions and shares, including likes and hashtags. Engagement metrics from music platforms, including playlist additions, favorites, and repeat plays. Straykidscomebackguide.com

DIRECT IMPACT: MUSIC CHARTS Sales and Downloads Physical Sales: The number of physical copies sold, including CDs, vinyl records, and cassettes. These sales are tracked through retail stores and online vendors. Digital Sales: The number of tracks or albums sold through online platforms such as iTunes, Amazon Music, Qobuz, 7Digital, the artist's official website, and Stationhead. Digital sales are tracked by downloads. Streaming On-Demand Streaming: Tracks the number of times a song is played on-demand on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. This includes both audio and video streams. These include both ad-supported streams and paid subscription streams. Programmed Streaming: Plays on online radio and other non-interactive streaming services such as free or ad-supported Pandora tiers, where the user doesn't select each song. Radio and Airplay Airplay is how often a song is being played through broadcasting via a radio station (aka through "spins"). This can lead to increased visibility of an album or single song release, especially when played often. It also can bring in new fans or brand recognition. Even with streaming and digital music, radio airplay remains a vital tool for the introduction of new music. Straykidscomebackguide.com

INDIRECT IMPACT: MUSIC CHARTS Likes and Comments When you like or comment on a song or music video on a streaming platform, the algorithm is learning that other users with similar listening habits may like it as well. Shares & Virality Sharing a song from Spotify helps introduce new listeners to the song, while also encouraging the Spotify algorithm to recommend the track more frequently. This can lead to an increase in plays as new audiences discover the song. Another important way to indirectly impact charts is through content creation on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Creating videos using Stray Kids' music helps reach new audiences, creates new STAYs, and increases opportunities for their new music to go viral. Shazams Shazam has gained importance in the music industry as a tool to predict what songs will be popular and which should spark interest on the radio. Once a user Shazams a song, they can open it in the Shazam app to discover track information or more music by the artist, listen to the track on one of three streaming platforms (Apple Music, Spotify or YouTube Music), buy the track on iTunes, add the track to their Spotify or Apple Music library, view lyrics or music videos, and share the song across socials. Streaming platforms also compile the data from Shazam to help influence playlists and personalized recommendations. The more Shazams a song receives, the more likely a platform will recommend it to others. Straykidscomebackguide.com

🏆Music charting is affected in ways that are both direct and indirect, and this distinction is important to understand so you can fully support Stray Kids during comeback in whatever ways are accessible to you.

WHY WE PRE-SAVE THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF PRE-SAVING OR PRE-ADDING A SONG/ALBUM IS TO GENERATE ANTICIPATION AND ENGAGEMENT AMONG FANS LEADING UP TO ITS RELEASE. WHEN FANS PRE-SAVE AN ALBUM ON STREAMING PLATFORMS LIKE SPOTIFY OR APPLE MUSIC, THEY ENSURE THAT THE ALBUM IS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO THEIR LIBRARY OR PLAYLIST AS SOON AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THIS HELPS TO MAXIMIZE THE ALBUM'S INITIAL STREAMING NUMBERS AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ITS CHART PERFORMANCE UPON RELEASE. THE MORE POPULAR A NEW RELEASE IS, THE HIGHER ITS CHANCES ARE OF BEING ADDED TO CURATED PLAYLISTS, WHICH CAN HELP THE NEW RELEASE REACH A WIDER AUDIENCE. THIS INCREASED EXPOSURE LEADS TO MORE STREAMS, ULTIMATELY AIDING A SONG OR ALBUM IN CLIMBING THE CHARTS. SCAN THE QR CODE TO PRE-SAVE KARMA Straykidscomebackguide.com
