HYBE-Geffen Records' global group KATSEYE has set a record by charting for 53 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200.

KATSEYE's second EP, 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS', released in June 2025, remained on the Billboard 200 for its 52nd week (as of July 4), marking the first time in 21 years that a female group album has stayed on the chart for an entire year. The latest chart (as of July 11) saw the album climb to No. 128, extending its total run to 53 weeks.

The last girl group album to remain on the Billboard 200 for a full year was 'PCD', the debut album by Pussycat Dolls, released in 2005. As a representative girl group of mid-2000s American pop, Pussycat Dolls established themselves as a global pop act with hit singles like 'Don't Cha' and 'Buttons' from 'PCD'. KATSEYE's achievement proves once again the long-term commercial viability of girl groups in the U.S. market after a prolonged absence.

The Billboard 200 is an indicator of sustained album success. In today's fast-consumption, rapidly changing global pop market, an album remaining on the chart for over a year signifies more than just initial buzz—it reflects stable and enduring interest in the music, fandom, and public engagement.

KATSEYE has also proven its song-level appeal by placing multiple tracks on the Billboard Hot 100. 'Gabriela' peaked at No. 21 (as of January 17), 'PINKY UP' reached No. 28 (April 25), 'Internet Girl' hit No. 29 (January 17), and 'Gnarly' climbed to No. 82 (January 10).

In June, as part of a collaborative effort among HYBE Labels girl groups, KATSEYE joined LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT for a surprise collaboration single titled 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE', which debuted at No. 38 on the Hot 100 (as of June 27), securing the highest position among all K-pop girl group songs that entered the chart this year.

Earlier this year, KATSEYE was nominated for two Grammy Awards: 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Pop Duo/Group Performance'. In May, they swept three awards at the American Music Awards, including 'New Artist of the Year'.

Building on each member's unique diversity, KATSEYE has gained acclaim for their powerful stage presence and overwhelming vocal and dance abilities, leading to performances at major global festivals. The group has appeared consecutively at Lollapalooza Chicago & South America, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and Governors Ball. Their first North American and European tour, 'THE WILDWORLD TOUR', starting in September, sold out all 31 shows across 27 cities in 10 countries within just 48 hours of ticket sales, demonstrating their intense popularity.
