It was only two days ago that Stray Kids’ new album KARMA sold a record-breaking 2 million copies on the first day of its sales. The comeback album, along with its title track, Ceremony, was released on August 22, 2025, at 1 pm KST. It’s the fourth full-length EP of the group and has 11 tracks. However, Ceremony is standing out among them with over 22 million views on YouTube already!
It seems like the Stray Kids want to keep the momentum going because the group has recently announced two new remix singles for the lead track. The song is co-written by 3RACHA (Han, Bang Chan, and Hanbin), and is a powerful mix of Baile Funk rhythms and trap EDM. Meanwhile, a timetable poster has been released on the K-pop group’s official social media handles, which revealed their plan for releasing the two digital mix singles.
As confirmed, Ceremony (Maximum Power Remixes) will drop on August 25 at 1 pm KST. This will be immediately followed by the release of Ceremony (Celebrate Remixes) on August 29, at 1 pm KST. The poster design shared on the official handle of Stray Kids is quite vibrant and hints at two completely different versions of the title track, which is already topping major real-time music charts worldwide.
The Maximum Power version will feature five tracks, which will include the original track of Ceremony, KARMA, Sped Up, Slowed Down, and Instrumental Versions. Conversely, the Celebrate Remixes version will also have 5 tracks in total, namely the original track, its hip-hop, hooray, English, and festival versions.
On the other hand, the Stray Kids members have recently wrapped up their largest-ever world tour, DOMINATE. It means the group is in its first week of promotions for their new album KARMA.
Earlier, the album debuted at no. 1 on the Line Music Japan Albums Top Daily chart. It was the 7th Korean album of the K-pop group to have debuted atop this chart, and the 8th Korean album overall to top the same. Its lead track, Ceremony, also debuted at no. 2 on the Line Music Japan songs chart.
The success of the album and its track Ceremony has also put Stray Kids back into the popularity picture. As of now, the K-pop group has entered the Top 20 list of the Global Digital Artist Ranking Chart, where they are on the 17th position.
