Global girl group KATSEYE is making significant waves on the U.S. Billboard charts, continuously setting new personal bests and solidifying their international presence. According to the latest Billboard charts (dated September 6), KATSEYE's track "Gabriela" from their second EP, 'Beautiful Chaos,' ascended to an impressive 63rd place on the 'Hot 100' — marking its highest position for the third consecutive week. This remarkable jump of 9 spots from the previous week demonstrates the song's strong longevity and growing popularity.

Adding to their chart success, "Gnarly," another track from the same EP, has successfully re-entered the 'Hot 100' at 98th place, more than four months after its initial digital release in April. This rare chart resurgence is attributed to the group's acclaimed performances at major festivals like Lollapalooza Chicago and Summer Sonic 2025, alongside a globally trending GAP advertising campaign.

KATSEYE's EP 'Beautiful Chaos' also continues its strong run on the main album chart, 'Billboard 200,' climbing 8 spots to 45th place and spending nine consecutive weeks on the chart. The album also maintained high positions, ranking 20th on Top Album Sales and 18th on Top Current Album Sales.

Formed through the collaborative efforts of HYBE and Geffen Records, KATSEYE emerged from the "Dream Academy" global audition, which saw 120,000 applicants worldwide. The group is set to perform at the pre-show of the '2025 MTV Video Music Awards' on September 7th, where they are also nominated for 'Best Group' and 'PUSH Performance of the Year.' Furthermore, their inaugural North American tour in November has already completely sold out, underscoring their burgeoning global fanbase.

KATSEYE is a global girl group created through a partnership between HYBE and Geffen Records. The six members were selected from over 120,000 applicants in the "Dream Academy" global audition project. They are seen as a pioneering group in HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk's vision for the globalization of the K-Pop system.
