Stray Kids’ latest mixtape, DO IT, has been named this week’s fan favourite in a poll published by Billboard on Friday, 21 November. The five-track EP, released under JYP Entertainment, claimed a remarkable 86% of the vote, cementing its status as the standout release among new music this week.
DO IT serves as a follow-up to Stray Kids’ highly successful Karma album and forms part of their ongoing SKZ IT TAPE series, which the group describes as a “special album.” The mixtape reflects the band’s bold and confident ethos, with tracks that explore themes of seizing opportunities, asserting independence, and shaping one’s own destiny. The tracklist includes the title track “Do It,” as well as “DIVINE,” “Holiday,” “Photobook,” and a Festival Version of “Do It.” Complementing the release, Stray Kids also unveiled a visually striking, dance-driven music video for the title track, showcasing the group’s dynamic performance style.
The DO IT release coincided with other high-profile music launches, including Tate McRae’s So Close to What??? and the official soundtrack for the film Wicked: For Good. Despite strong competition, Stray Kids dominated the fan poll, with McRae’s album securing just under 6% of the votes and the Wicked soundtrack receiving slightly over 5%. The results underscore the group’s enduring appeal and the passionate engagement of their global fanbase.
This latest accolade follows Stray Kids’ continued commercial success. Their September album Karma debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, affirming their status as one of K-pop’s most influential and internationally recognised acts. DO IT continues this trajectory, blending confident lyricism, high-energy production, and intricate choreography that fans have come to expect from the group.
Final poll results for this week’s fan favourites are summarised below:
| Release | Artist | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|---|
| DO IT | Stray Kids | 86% |
| So Close to What??? | Tate McRae | 6% |
| Wicked: For Good | Movie Soundtrack | 5% |
