The joint girl group KATSEYE, formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, has been nominated once again for the '2025 MTV Video Music Awards (MTV VMA)', proving its increased global status and popularity.
According to the list of award nominees announced by MTV VMA on the 29th (local time), KATSEYE has been named in the 'Best Group' institutional sector. This is the second nomination following its previous inclusion as a nominee for the 'PUSH Performance of the Year' institutional sector.
The lineup of artists competing for the 'Best Group' institutional sector award is impressive. Notable pop stars including Coldplay, My Chemical Romance, Backstreet Boys, and Jonas Brothers are competing with KATSEYE.
The 'Best Group' award at the MTV VMA, given to the artist demonstrating the most outstanding activities and popularity of the year, was awarded to BTS for four consecutive years from 2019 to 2022, while BLACKPINK received it in 2023 and SEVENTEEN won in 2024.
KATSEYE has achieved remarkable results on various major global charts this year. Their second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' reached 4th place on the U.S. Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' (as of July 12), and the tracks 'Gabriela' and 'Gnarly' entered the main song chart 'Hot 100'.
In particular, 'Gabriela' ranked 72nd on the latest Billboard 'Hot 100' chart (as of August 30), setting a new team record. Additionally, on the updated UK 'Official Singles Top 100' (from August 29 to September 4), it climbed 8 spots to 53rd place. This marks 8 consecutive weeks on the chart.
On Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, KATSEYE's three hit songs are firmly holding their ground on the 'Weekly Top Song Global' (from August 22 to 28). 'Gabriela' rose to 18th place, marking its 10th consecutive week on the chart, while 'Gnarly' ranked 78th, making it 17 consecutive weeks on the chart. 'Touch', released last July, stands at 159th.
The MTV VMA is considered one of the four major popular music awards in the U.S., alongside the Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards. This year's ceremony will take place on September 7 at the UBS Arena in New York, United States.
