KATSEYE, a global girl group under HIVE-Geffen Records, has achieved remarkable success on the US Billboard charts. Their third EP 'WILD' debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 170,000 album units, marking the highest weekly figure for a female group since December 2015 when Billboard adopted unit-based calculations. The group simultaneously placed four songs on the Hot 100 chart: 'Animal' (24th), 'Hootie Frutti' (31st debut), 'PINKY UP' (81st), and their collaboration with LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, 'ICONIC BY MISTAKE' (94th). Their previous albums also surged simultaneously, with 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' climbing to 92nd (60 consecutive weeks on chart) and 'SIS' rising to 156th, marking a significant milestone with all three albums charting together. KATSEYE claimed the #1 spot on the Artist 100 chart, jumping 27 positions from the previous week's 28th place. The group set new records with 38.49 million Spotify monthly listeners, while the 'Hootie Frutti' music video surpassed 44.55 million views on YouTube with accelerating growth.
