Global girl group KATSEYE has had all three of its albums simultaneously appear on the U.S. 'Billboard 200' chart for five consecutive weeks.

According to the latest Billboard chart released on the 23rd (dated September 26), KATSEYE's third EP, 'WILD', ranked No. 22 on the main album chart, 'Billboard 200'. It is encouraging that after reaching the top of this chart immediately upon release, it has maintained a position in the upper ranks for five consecutive weeks.

The staying power of their previous works also stands out. Their second EP, 'Beautiful Chaos', ranked at No. 160 and has remained on the chart for 64 consecutive weeks. Their first EP, 'SIS (Soft Is Strong)', is positioned at No. 191 and has been in the rankings for a cumulative total of 28 weeks. With this achievement, KATSEYE has demonstrated its ability to have all three albums released since their debut simultaneously enter the 'Billboard 200' for over a month.

On the main song chart, 'Hot 100', two tracks from 'WILD' are enjoying simultaneous success. The pre-release single 'Animal' ranked at No. 28, while the title track 'Hootie Frutti' is at No. 91. The highest positions these two songs have reached on this chart are No. 24 and No. 31, respectively. Notably, 'Animal' climbed three spots to reach No. 15 on 'Pop Airplay', which tracks the number of plays on major U.S. radio stations, proving its expanding popularity among the general public.

The buzz is also intense on YouTube. The music video for 'Hootie Frutti' surpassed 100 million views just 40 days after its release, setting a new record for the fastest time to reach 100 million views among KATSEYE's official videos. Their previous hits continue to gain steady popularity: the performance video for their hit song 'Gabriela' has exceeded 360 million views, and the music video for their debut track 'Touch' has surpassed 300 million views.

KATSEYE is a group presented by HYBE-Geffen Records under the 'Multi-home, multi-genre' strategy led by Bang Si-hyeok, Chairman of HYBE. Having debuted in the U.S. in 2024 by applying the 'K-pop methodology', they are now nominated for four categories at the upcoming '2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs)' to be held on September 27 (local time) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California: 'Best Group', 'Song of Summer', 'Best K-Pop', and 'Best Choreography'.
