Girl group KATSEYE continues to dominate the U.S. Billboard charts with their latest hit.

According to the most recent Billboard chart released on Tuesday, KATSEYE’s “Animal” secured the 31st spot on the prestigious Hot 100 singles chart.

The track, which previously peaked at No. 24 on the Hot 100, has now maintained its position for an impressive 10 consecutive weeks, solidifying the group’s growing popularity. In a notable achievement, “Animal” also climbed one spot to No. 13 on the Pop Airplay chart, setting a new personal best for the rising K-pop sensation.

KATSEYE’s success extends beyond singles, with their albums making waves as well. Their thir extended play (EP), “WILD,” which previously topped the Billboard 200 on August 29, held strong at No. 39 this week, marking its seventh consecutive week on the chart.

The group’s dominance is further evidenced in the Top Album Sales category, where “WILD” secured the 13th spot, while their debut EP “SIS (Soft Is Strong)” and sophomore effort “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS” landed at No. 25 and No. 50, respectively. This remarkable feat sees all three of KATSEYE’s projects charting simultaneously.

It’s worth noting that “SIS (Soft Is Strong),” released in 2024, has maintained its presence on the Top Album Sales chart for an impressive 52 weeks, while “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS,” which dropped in June 2025, has held strong for 65 weeks.

KATSEYE, formed through the highly-anticipated audition project “The Debut: Dream Academy” – a collaboration between industry powerhouses HYBE and Geffen Records – made their U.S. debut in 2024. Since then, they’ve released a string of hits including “Debut,” “Touch,” “Gnarly,” and “Gabriella.” Their meteoric rise was further cemented at this year’s American Music Awards, where they took home three trophies, including the coveted New Artist of the Year award.
