KATSEYE Soars on Billboard Charts, 'Gabriela' Hits New Peak on Hot 100 Amid Grammy Nod Buzz

Global girl group KATSEYE, a collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records, continues its impressive ascent, shattering its own record on the Billboard Main Singles Chart 'Hot 100' once again.

According to the latest Billboard charts released on November 11 (local time) for the chart dated November 15, KATSEYE's track 'Gabriela' from their second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' climbed four spots to reach 33rd place on the 'Hot 100'. This marks a remarkable 'reverse run' phenomenon, with the song consistently rising in the rankings for four consecutive weeks, despite being released nearly five months ago.

'Gabriela' first entered the chart at 94th place (July 5th chart) and has since garnered steady popularity. Its momentum significantly amplified after their performance at 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in August, leading to these notable achievements.

Furthermore, 'Gabriela' secured the 14th position on the 'Pop Airplay' chart, which is based on radio broadcast frequency and listener data within the United States. This also represents the group's highest ranking on this chart, two spots higher than the previous week. Strong performance on this chart, a key indicator of a song's popularity and mainstream appeal alongside sales and streaming, proves KATSEYE's widespread acceptance in the U.S. market.

The EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS', featuring 'Gabriela', also ranked 43rd on the main album chart, 'Billboard 200'. This marks 19 consecutive weeks on the chart since its peak position of 4th (July 12th chart). 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' also saw a one-spot increase from the previous week on the 'Top Album Sales' (15th) and 'Top Current Album Sales' (13th) charts, maintaining its presence for 19 consecutive weeks.

KATSEYE's influence is even more potent on the global charts, which aggregate data from over 200 countries and regions. 'Gabriela' rose three spots to 20th place on the 'Global 200' and held steady at 15th on the 'Global (Excluding U.S.)' chart, remaining in the upper ranks for 20 consecutive weeks. Another track, 'Gnarly', has been charting for an impressive 27 consecutive weeks, currently at 138th on the 'Global 200' and 137th on the 'Global (Excluding U.S.)', even after more than six months since its release.

Meanwhile, KATSEYE achieved a significant milestone by receiving nominations in two categories at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards for 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Pop Duo/Group Performance'. Prior to the awards ceremony, they are set to embark on their first solo North American tour, scheduled for 16 shows across 13 cities, commencing on November 15th.

Netizens are expressing excitement, with comments like, "This is truly amazing! They keep setting new records," "Following the Grammy nomination, hitting the Billboard charts too, KATSEYE's power is insane!" and "I hope they achieve great success domestically soon and become a source of pride for Korea."
