KATSEYE is making waves on major global charts, showcasing their undeniable presence in the music industry.

Billboard’s latest chart, released on Tuesday, reveals that KATSEYE’s pre-release single “Animal” has climbed five spots to No. 30 on the Hot 100. This marks the track’s third consecutive week on the chart. The song’s success extends to other rankings, securing the 24th position on the Pop Airplay chart and landing at No. 16 and 19 on the Global 200 and Global (excluding the U.S.) charts, respectively. These achievements underscore the group’s growing popularity in the American market.

The momentum from KATSEYE’s previous releases continues unabated. Their sophomore extended play (EP), “Beautiful Chaos,” released last year, has maintained its position on the Billboard 200 for an impressive 59 weeks, currently sitting at No. 121. Additionally, their debut EP “SIS (Soft Is Strong)” and the standout track “Gabriela” continue to hold strong positions on major charts, demonstrating the group’s lasting appeal.

KATSEYE’s latest offering, their third mini-album WILD, is causing a stir on Spotify. Following the album’s release, the group’s monthly listener count skyrocketed by approximately 1.94 million, pushing their total to over 37.05 million. The title track “Hootie Frutti” made an impressive debut, landing at No. 6 on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs in the U.S. and No. 12 globally on its release day. In a testament to the album’s overall strength, all tracks from WILD have charted, indicating widespread listener engagement.

Since their U.S. debut in 2024, KATSEYE has racked up several notable accolades, including a triple win at the 2026 American Music Awards and nominations in two categories at the 68th Grammy Awards, solidifying their status as rising stars in the American music scene.
