The global girl group KATSEYE (Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, Yoonchae), under HYBE and Geffen Records, is experiencing a remarkable surge in popularity on major U.S. music charts.
According to the latest U.S. Billboard chart released on October 1 (local time) for the week of October 5, KATSEYE’s double title track “Touch” from their first EP *SIS (Soft Is Strong)* jumped 45 spots to reach 108th place on the *Global 200* chart. It also climbed 50 spots to rank 75th on the *Global (excluding U.S.)* chart.
Unlike the *Hot 100* chart, which combines broadcasting scores and album sales, these two charts rank the most popular songs based on streaming and digital sales (downloads) collected from over 200 regions worldwide, including the U.S. They are regarded as indicators of global popularity since they reflect the latest trends in the U.S. music market.
The album’s popularity is noteworthy as well. *SIS (Soft Is Strong)* placed 33rd on the *Top Current Album Sales* chart and 35th on the *Top Album Sales* chart. KATSEYE also ranked 8th on the *Emerging Artists* chart, which targets new artists. They have made it onto all three charts for six consecutive weeks.
KATSEYE is also achieving strong results on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform. “Touch” entered the *Spotify Weekly Top Songs Global* chart for the week of September 20-26, rising 28 spots to break into the top 100.
Since its initial entry at 155th last month, the song has consistently climbed the rankings. It ranked 88th on the *Daily Top Songs Global* chart for September 30.
Meanwhile, KATSEYE is a global girl group formed through the survival audition project *The Debut: Dream Academy* by HYBE and Geffen Records.
They recently completed a successful promotional tour across Asia, including Korea, the Philippines, and Japan.
