Global girl group KATSEYE, formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, continues to demonstrate long-term success with steady upward trends on the UK Official Charts and Spotify.
KATSEYE Dominates UK Official Charts for 10 Consecutive Weeks
According to the latest UK Official Chart (October 2β8) released on the 3rd (Korean time), the pre-release track KATSEYE Animal from their third EP ‘WILD’ ranked 26th on the ‘Official Singles Top 100’. Having previously peaked at No. 12, ‘Animal’ successfully maintained its position in the upper ranks for the 10th consecutive week.
The title track ‘Hootie Frutti’ also continues to enjoy steady popularity. Ranking 64th on the same chart, ‘Hootie Frutti’ has charted for 7 consecutive weeks with a peak position of No. 16. In the album charts, their third EP ‘WILD’, which debuted at No. 2 on the ‘Official Albums Top 100’ in its first week, placed 83rd this week, marking 7 consecutive weeks on the chart.
Setting Milestone Records in the UK Music Market
Notably, KATSEYE set an unprecedented record on the UK Official Chart this year. The Official Charts previously highlighted that when ‘Hootie Frutti’ entered the Top 40, KATSEYE had placed five songs on the ‘Official Singles Top 100’ this year alone. This holds significant meaning as the first girl group to achieve five UK Top 40 hits in a single year since Little Mix in 2021.
KATSEYE has successfully entered the Top 40 with five consecutive tracks: ‘Internet Girl’, ‘PINKY UP’, ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’, ‘Animal’, and ‘Hootie Frutti’, establishing a solid foothold in the global music market.
Continued Success on Spotify and Upcoming Global Tours
Long-term success continued on Spotify as well. On the latest ‘Weekly Top Songs Global’ chart (September 25 β October 1), ‘Animal’ ranked 50th, marking its 10th consecutive week on the chart. Peaking at No. 8, the track continues to receive steady support from global listeners. ‘Hootie Frutti’ also placed 148th, continuing its 7-week chart streak.
Created under Chairman Bang Si-hyukβs ‘Multi-home, multi-genre’ strategy, KATSEYE made their debut in the United States in 2024 by applying K-pop methodologies and is expanding their active presence globally.
Starting with their Miami concert on October 13 (local time), KATSEYE will kick off their ‘THE WILDWORLD TOUR’ across North America. They are also scheduled to perform at the ‘2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show’ in Los Angeles on October 18 to meet global fans.
