KATSEYE’s ‘Beautiful Chaos’ Rebounds to No.32 on Billboard 200, Extending a 25-Week Run Powered by ‘Gabriela’
KATSEYE continues to post measurable results in the U.S. mainstream market. On Billboard’s latest chart dated December 27, the group’s second EP ‘Beautiful Chaos’ climbed three spots to No.32 on the Billboard 200, extending its streak to 25 consecutive weeks. In a year-end chart landscape heavily shaped by seasonal listening, sustained longevity often speaks louder than a one-week spike—signaling real audience retention and ongoing consumption.
Since its release, ‘Beautiful Chaos’ reached a notable peak at No.4 on the Billboard 200 in July and has remained charting across multiple cycles. This rebound to No.32 highlights a key point: in an ecosystem where new releases arrive nonstop and playlists refresh quickly, staying on the chart for over half a year generally requires a combination of steady streaming volume, repeat listeners who return week after week, and consistent cross-platform visibility—not just an initial burst of attention.
December competition is uniquely intense. Seasonal tracks and evergreen compilations often surge at once, and the upper tiers can be heavily influenced by holiday playlists and predictable seasonal listening habits—creating strong headwinds for non-seasonal releases. Against that backdrop, ‘Beautiful Chaos’ moving upward suggests a base of regular, year-round demand. It frames KATSEYE’s momentum not as a one-time release-week moment, but as a curve that continues to carry forward.
The EP’s track ‘Gabriela’ has also been a key pillar behind the long-run performance. This week it held at No.60 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking 22 total weeks on the chart. It also ranked No.9 on Pop Airplay—an indicator driven by U.S. radio spins and audience impressions—securing a Top 10 placement for a second consecutive week. In pop, radio charts often reflect a different kind of staying power: broad rotation and repeat exposure. ‘Gabriela’ sustaining stability even during the holiday surge suggests it is embedding into everyday listening contexts. The song also continues to chart on Billboard Global 200 and Global (Excl. U.S.), pointing to steady responses beyond North America as well.
KATSEYE was shaped through HYBE America’s training-and-development pipeline and positioned under a “multi-home, multi-genre” strategy designed for global operations from the outset. Beyond chart placements, the group has also been building visibility around major industry markers: it landed nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and is scheduled to appear at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2026. For a new-generation act, these milestones often signal that recorded performance and stage visibility are converging into a trackable growth path.
Taken together—25 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 and multi-chart support for ‘Gabriela’ across Hot 100, Pop Airplay, and global rankings—the clearest signal right now is longevity. Sustained presence across different chart structures typically indicates the formation of a stable listener base. As new releases, touring plans, or festival appearances emerge, KATSEYE’s chart trajectory will remain a practical reference point for tracking how efficiently its reach expands across North America and the broader global market.
