HYBE and Geffen Records’ global girl group KATSEYE just extended their winning streak on Billboard’s main songs chart.
On the latest rankings dated Nov. 1, KATSEYE’s "Gabriela" rises to No. 40 on the Hot 100, up one spot and marking a new career high for the second week in a row.
Their other hit, "Gnarly", also returns to the Hot 100 at No. 97, logging an 11th total week on the tally. Considering the tracks are four and six months old, respectively, the continued momentum is striking. Word-of-mouth from their show-stopping stages ― including Lollapalooza Chicago ― keeps fueling a late surge in streams and discovery.
The group’s EP "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS" continues to post sturdy numbers. It sits at No. 34 on the Billboard 200, notching 17 consecutive weeks on the chart. The set peaked at No. 4 on the July 12-dated list and has held remarkably steady nearly four months after release.
"BEAUTIFUL CHAOS" is also holding strong on sales-driven tallies: No. 13 on Top Album Sales (17 cumulative weeks) and No. 11 on Top Current Album Sales (17 cumulative weeks). Their first EP, "SIS (Soft Is Strong)", released last August, is concurrently at No. 42 on Top Album Sales and No. 33 on Top Current Album Sales.
Stateside radio keeps leaning in, too. On Pop Airplay, "Gabriela" climbs to No. 18 ― its 12th straight week of gains since entering at No. 37 in mid-August.
Beyond Billboard, "Gabriela" reached No. 38 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart Top 100 for the Oct. 17?23 frame, a new best for the group. On Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global (Oct. 17?23), three tracks landed simultaneously: "Gabriela" (No. 17), "Gnarly" (No. 119) and Touch (No. 179), underscoring KATSEYE’s worldwide traction and staying power.
Formed under HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s K-pop playbook, KATSEYE emerged from the global audition project "The Debut: Dream Academy," which drew 120,000 applicants. The group debuted in the U.S. after going through HYBE America’s structured training and development system.
Next up: KATSEYE launches their first headlining tour, "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS", on Nov. 15, hitting 16 shows across 13 North American cities. In April, they’re also slated to take the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
