Global girl group KATSEYE is showcasing solid digital track power on the U.K. Official Charts and global Spotify, captivating major music markets.
According to the latest U.K. Official Chart released on Sept. 12 (chart week Sept. 11-17), KATSEYE's third EP "WILD" pre-release track "Animal" ranked 18th on the Official Singles Top 100, holding a top-20 position for seven consecutive weeks. The title track "Hootie Frutti" also reached 41st, continuing a month-long run of strong performance.
The album chart momentum is fierce as well. Previously debuting spectacularly at No. 2 on the Official Albums Top 100, mini album 3 "WILD" recorded No. 33 this week, marking four consecutive weeks on the chart and proving a solid infrastructure in the local market.
On Spotify's latest "Weekly Top Songs Global" (Sept. 4-10), both new and older tracks showed balanced strength. "Animal" (34) and "Hootie Frutti" (56) secured stable positions, while the special collaboration with LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, "ICONIC BY MISTAKE," entered at 147 for a 13th consecutive week. Notably, "Gabriela," released in June last year, charted at 192 and has remained on the chart for an impressive 64 weeks.
Also, the music videos for "Animal" and "Hootie Frutti" are both nearing 100 million views on YouTube, and cumulative Spotify streams for "Gabriela" approach 1 billion, solidifying their mainstream presence.
Earlier, KATSEYE not only achieved No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard main albums chart, the Billboard 200, but also made history by placing four album tracks simultaneously on the main singles chart, the Hot 100.
Built on HYBE and Geffen Records' 'K-pop production system,' KATSEYE, which completed its global footing, opened the world tour "THE WILDWORLD TOUR" on the 1st in Dublin, Ireland. They will visit major cities in the U.K. and Europe in September and then move to a North American tour in October to connect with fans around the world.<
