KATSEYE is riding a two-track wave on the Billboard charts, landing both a breakout hit and a fan-favorite cut on the Hot 100 at the same time.
According to Billboard’s latest rankings dated Jan. 24 (announced Jan. 21 local time), “Gabriela,” from the group’s second EP "Beautiful Chaos", climbs to No. 24 on the Hot 100, extending its run to 26 consecutive weeks. It’s the longest-charting Hot 100 entry by a girl-group release from last year, underscoring the song’s staying power.
Meanwhile, their newest drop “Internet Girl” holds at No. 59 this week. Even without being a formal single, the fan-favorite is logging a second straight week on the chart. Powered by gleaming dance-pop production, an earworm hook, and a viral “Emoji Dance” challenge sweeping social platforms, the track is catching fire worldwide.
KATSEYE is also steady on the Billboard 200. "Beautiful Chaos" sits at No. 43 this week; the EP, released last June, peaked at No. 4 on the July 12, 2025 chart and hasn’t missed the ranking for roughly five months straight.
"Beautiful Chaos" finished as the No. 7 best-selling physical album in the U.S. last year, per Luminate’s 2025 Year-End Report―making it the only girl-group project to crack the top 10 in that category.
Formed through the HYBE-Geffen audition series The Debut: Dream Academy and debuting in the U.S. in June 2024, KATSEYE has become a flagship win for HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s “multi-home, multi-genre” strategy. The group is nominated for two awards at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards: Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
