KATSEYE is writing a brilliant global record ahead of their third EP "WILD."
According to the U.K. Official Charts released on the 28th (local time), the pre-release track "Animal" rose to No. 17 on the Official Singles Top 100, marking five consecutive weeks on the chart. The title track "Hootie Frutti" also secured a spot at No. 25, and the album "WILD" ranked No. 24 on the Official Albums Top 100, achieving two consecutive weeks on the chart. The upward momentum on Spotify is also fierce. On the latest Weekly Top Songs Global chart, "Animal" and "Hootie Frutti" ranked No. 21 and No. 24 respectively, and earlier releases continue to enjoy steady, long-term success. Riding this wave, Spotify monthly listeners have surpassed about 38.54 million, bringing them close to the 40 million mark.
Positive reviews from major international outlets are pouring in. Forbes highlighted "Animal" as KATSEYE's "biggest hit yet" and described "Hootie Frutti" as "another top-20 hit," analyzing that "KATSEYE collects two new smashes, significantly increasing its career sum." Rolling Stone noted the title track's perfect blend of a "raucous Latin beat" and dynamic choreography, and Billboard praised the song's distinct addictiveness, calling its beat "absolutely hypnotic, hard-charging" and its chorus a "delightfully nonsensical chorus."
Meanwhile, riding an overwhelming rise, KATSEYE will kick off THE WILDWORLD TOUR starting in Dublin, Ireland, on Sept. 1, and will tour major cities across Europe and North America, meeting global fans in person.
