Global girl group KATSEYE, formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, continues to achieve remarkable long-term success on major U.S. Billboard charts.
According to the latest Billboard charts released on October 6 (local time) for the week of October 10, KATSEYE’s KATSEYE Animal secured the 31st spot on the main song chart, the ‘Hot 100’. Having previously peaked at No. 24, ‘Animal’ has now spent 10 consecutive weeks on the ‘Hot 100’, proving its steady and enduring popularity.
Radio performance is also on an upward trajectory. ‘Animal’ climbed one spot to land at No. 13 on the ‘Pop Airplay’ chart, breaking its own personal record. This highlights how the group is expanding its presence not just through digital streaming, but consistently across U.S. local radio waves as well.
KATSEYE’s dominance extended to the album charts. Their third EP, ‘WILD’, which claimed the No. 1 spot on the ‘Billboard 200’ back on August 29, ranked 39th this week, successfully marking its 7th consecutive week on the chart.
On the ‘Top Album Sales’ chart, KATSEYE impressively landed three albums simultaneously. ‘WILD’ took 13th place, their debut EP ‘SIS (Soft Is Strong)’ ranked 25th, and their second EP ‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’ came in at 50th, showcasing unwavering popularity spanning both new releases and past works.
The long-running success of their older albums is particularly noteworthy. Released in 2024, ‘SIS (Soft Is Strong)’ is currently logging a cumulative 52 weeks on the ‘Top Album Sales’ chart, while ‘BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’, released in June 2025, has spent 65 weeks charting. Fueled by the success of their new release, their previous records are gaining renewed attention, demonstrating the continuous expansion of KATSEYE’s musical footprint.
Across global song charts, three different tracks are performing solidly. ‘Animal’ placed 44th on the ‘Global 200’ and 43rd on the ‘Global Excl. U.S.’, marking 10 consecutive weeks on both charts. Meanwhile, ‘Hootie Frutti’ ranked 171st and 175th respectively, maintaining its position for the 7th consecutive week.
Last year’s release ‘Gabriela’ also continues its impressive endurance. ‘Gabriela’ charted for a staggering 67th week, coming in at 194th on the ‘Global 200’ and 182nd on the ‘Global Excl. U.S.’. The steady presence of both the new single ‘Animal’ and past hits reaffirms KATSEYE’s sustained global influence.
KATSEYE is a global girl group launched collaboratively by HYBE and Geffen Records under Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s ‘Multi-home, multi-genre’ strategy. Incorporating K-pop production systems and methodologies, they debuted in the U.S. in 2024 and have been actively broadening their scope in the local market.
Following their chart dominance, KATSEYE is gearing up for upcoming live performances and global stages. On October 13, KATSEYE will kick off the North American leg of their ‘THE WILDWORLD TOUR’ in Miami, followed by a performance at the ‘2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’ in Los Angeles on October 18.
