Global girl group KATSEYE's second EP "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS" ranked seventh in real albums that sold a lot in the U.S. last year. KATSEYE is the only girl group named in the top 10 in this field.

According to the "2025 Year-End Music Report" released by entertainment industry data research company Luminate on the 14th (local time), 186,000 copies were sold in the United States during the aggregation period (January 3, 2025 to January 1, 2026) and were included in the "U.S. Top 10 CD Albums."

First place went to superstar Taylor Swift's 12th full-length album, "The Life of a Showgirl." Excluding this, while K-pop boy groups such as ENHYPEN and TOMORROW X TOGETHER showed overall strength, girl group KATSEYE's EP "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS" proudly took a place in its second year of debut, proving its powerful presence.

EP "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS," released in June last year, has been in the charts for 28 consecutive weeks since it ranked fourth on the U.S. Billboard main album chart "Billboards 200." The hit song "Gabriela" in the album was ranked 21st on the latest Billboard "Hot 100" (January 17), breaking the team's highest ranking, and another song "Gnarly" is also on a "long run" with 13 weeks of cumulative names on the chart.

KATSEYE was formed through an audition project "The Debut: Dream Academy" based on the "K-pop methodology" and debuted in the U.S. in June 2024. These are considered representative success stories of the "multi-home, multi-genre" strategy led by Chairman Hive Bang Si-hyuk.

KATSEYE is nominated for the "Best New Artist" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance" categories of the 68th Grammy Awards to be held next month. It was also nominated for four categories of the "2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards" to be held in March.
