Girl group KATSEYE showcased its powerful global popularity by securing spots on the main Billboard charts in the U.S. with both its new single and previous releases.

According to HYBE-Geffen Records on the 6th, KATSEYE's 'PINKY UP' ranked 71st on the latest Billboard chart released on the 5th (dated May 9). Previously, the song had reached 28th, setting a new team record for the highest debut on the Hot 100, and has now successfully entered the Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks.

On Billboard's 'Global 200', which ranks songs based on combined worldwide online streaming and digital download data, the group placed 62nd. Last year's Latin pop track 'Gabriela', released in June, also ranked 125th on this chart, continuing its long-term popularity for 45 weeks.

KATSEYE's presence is also prominent on album charts. Their second EP, 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS', which reached 4th on the 'Billboard 200' (dated July 12, 2025), climbed to 113rd, marking 44 consecutive weeks on the chart. The debut EP 'SIS (Soft Is Strong)', released in August 2024, also re-entered the 'Billboard 200' this week at 168th, drawing attention.

KATSEYE's achievements are attributed to their strong performance at 'Record Store Day', an annual event held on the third Saturday of April organized by the Independent Record Store Association (CIMS) in the U.S. The group released limited-edition vinyls during this period, ranking 14th on the 'Record Store Day' sales chart this year. As artists recognized by both local record collectors and the general public, it appears their popularity extended beyond the limited-edition vinyls to include used copies as well.

Beyond Billboard, KATSEYE has solidified its position on various global charts. On the latest UK 'Official Singles Top 100' chart (dated the 1st–7), 'PINKY UP' reached 42nd, while 'Touch' ranked 82nd. On Spotify's 'Weeekly Top Songs Global' (dated the 24th–30), 'PINKY UP' placed 61st and 'Gabriela' 111st, reflecting the strong support from music fans.

Meanwhile, KATSEYE is a team that debuted in the U.S. in 2024 under HYBE's 'Multi-home, multi-genre' strategy, led by Chairman Bang Si-hyeok, based on the 'K-pop methodology'. Nominated for the '68th Grammy Awards' and the '2026 American Music Awards' less than two years after their debut, the group is set to release their third EP, 'WILD', this August.
