Global girl group KATSEYE, formed under HYBE and Geffen Records, has achieved another career milestone by breaking their own record on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

According to Billboard’s latest chart (dated November 1), KATSEYE’s track “Gabriela,” from their second EP Beautiful Chaos, rose one spot to No. 40 this week—marking the group’s second consecutive week at its peak position. Another hit single, “Gnarly,” also re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 97, extending its impressive run to 11 consecutive weeks on the chart. Both songs continue to show remarkable staying power, even four to six months after their respective releases, thanks to viral buzz surrounding the group’s powerful live performances, including at Lollapalooza Chicago.

KATSEYE’s latest EP Beautiful Chaos continues to demonstrate solid chart performance across Billboard rankings. The album remains on the Billboard 200 for 17 consecutive weeks, currently at No. 34, after previously peaking at No. 4 (July 12 issue). The album’s consistent performance nearly four months post-release highlights its enduring popularity.

The group is also maintaining a strong presence on sales-based charts, with Beautiful Chaos ranking No. 13 on Top Album Sales and No. 11 on Top Current Album Sales, both for 17 cumulative weeks. Their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong), released in August last year, has also re-entered the charts, sitting at No. 42 and No. 33 respectively, underscoring the group’s simultaneous success with multiple releases.

On the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, which reflects radio popularity in the U.S., “Gabriela” reached a new peak at No. 18, continuing its steady climb for 12 consecutive weeks since debuting at No. 37 in mid-August.

Their success extends beyond the U.S. as well. “Gabriela” ranked No. 38 on the UK Official Singles Top 100 (Oct. 17–23), marking KATSEYE’s highest position on the chart to date. On Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global (Oct. 17–23), three of their tracks—“Gabriela” (No. 17), “Gnarly” (No. 119), and “Touch” (No. 179)—appeared simultaneously, proving the group’s growing international influence and long-run appeal.

Formed under HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s “K-pop methodology,” KATSEYE was selected through the global audition project “The Debut: Dream Academy,” which saw participation from over 120,000 applicants worldwide. After intensive training under HYBE America’s T&D (Training & Development) system, the group officially debuted in the U.S.

KATSEYE will kick off their first headlining tour “Beautiful Chaos” on November 15, covering 16 shows across 13 cities in North America. The group is also set to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April next year, marking their debut at one of the world’s most prestigious music events.
