The global girl group KATSEYE, jointly launched by HYBE and Geffen Records, continues to enjoy unwavering popularity even at the end of the year. As holiday season songs dominate the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, KATSEYE’s track “Gabriela” is demonstrating impressive staying power.

According to the latest Billboard charts dated December 20, released on the 12th (local time), “Gabriela,” a track from KATSEYE’s second EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, ranked No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking its 21st consecutive week on the chart. The song also placed No. 9 on the Pop Airplay chart, which is based on U.S. radio airplay and listener data, setting a new career-high ranking for the group. Considering that as many as 40 of the songs in the Top 60 of this week’s Hot 100 are effectively holiday carols, KATSEYE’s momentum is particularly notable. While most tracks from the Netflix series KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack—excluding “Golden”—have exited the charts, “Gabriela” has managed to hold its position.

The EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which includes “Gabriela,” is also continuing its strong performance on Billboard’s main album charts. After previously peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 (July 12 chart), the album ranked No. 35 this week, extending its chart run to 24 consecutive weeks. It also placed No. 7 on the Top Album Sales chart and No. 6 on the Top Current Album Sales chart.

Having achieved remarkable milestones throughout the year, KATSEYE is also standing out on major global platforms’ year-end rankings. On Billboard’s recently released Year-End Charts, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS ranked No. 182 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, while its tracks “Gnarly” and “Gabriela” secured No. 161 and No. 163, respectively, on the Billboard Global 200 Songs chart.
