KATSEYE dominates UK Official Charts for second week

The global girl group KATSEYE, a joint venture between HYBE and Geffen Records, continues its impressive run on the UK Official Charts, securing the top positions for a second consecutive week with their EP 'WILD'. The group's success highlights the growing international reach of K-pop-influenced music.

According to the latest Official Charts update, KATSEYE's pre-release single 'Animal' has now spent five weeks on the chart, debuting at number 16 last week and currently holding the 17th position. The EP's title track, 'Hootie Frutti,' also demonstrated strong performance, remaining within the top 30 for its second week at number 25.

This dual success means KATSEYE has two songs simultaneously charting in the Official Singles Chart Top 100. The EP 'WILD' itself entered the Album Chart at number two last week and is now at number 24, marking its second consecutive week in the top 30. This sustained presence underscores the EP's broad appeal.

The article also notes the continued chart presence of other K-pop-related acts. The virtual girl group Huntrix from the Netflix animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' is at number 52 on the singles chart, while BTS's fifth studio album 'Arirang' is at number 92 on the album chart, marking its 23rd consecutive week. The report contrasts KATSEYE's success with the current number one album by Paul Heaton and the number one single by Olivia Dean.
