KATSEYE Gabriela Hits No. 31 on Billboard Hot 100: Chart Peak Continues Grammy-Nominated Track's Rise
KATSEYE just scored another career milestone. The HYBE and Geffen Records girl group saw "Gabriela" climb to No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 22, advancing two spots from last week's No. 33 position.
The track has now spent 17 weeks on the Hot 100, demonstrating impressive longevity for a debut-year artist. "Gabriela," from their second EP "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS," first entered the chart at No. 94 in early July before beginning its steady ascent through the rankings.
Radio performance tells an equally strong story. "Gabriela" reached No. 13 on the Pop Airplay chart, which tracks mainstream Top 40 radio play across the United States. This marks the highest radio position KATSEYE has achieved to date.
The six-member group's EP "BEAUTIFUL CHAOS" continues performing well on album charts. It jumped eight positions to No. 35 on the Billboard 200, marking its 20th consecutive week on the chart. Physical sales remain strong, with the EP placing at No. 11 on Top Album Sales and No. 10 on Top Current Album Sales-both advancing from the previous week.
KATSEYE's first EP, "SIS (Soft Is Strong)" released in September, also returned to sales charts this week. The debut project landed at No. 38 on Top Album Sales and No. 31 on Top Current Album Sales, logging its 13th and 18th weeks respectively.
Global reach extends beyond U.S. charts. "Gabriela" sits at No. 22 on the Global 200 and No. 18 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, both positions held for 21 consecutive weeks. Meanwhile, "Gnarly"-their April single that broke them into the Hot 100-remains charting after 28 weeks despite being released over six months ago. It currently ranks at No. 147 on Global 200 and No. 152 on Global Excl. U.S.
The chart success comes as KATSEYE prepares for the 68th Grammy Awards on February 1, 2026. The group earned nominations in two categories: Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Gabriela."
KATSEYE debuted in June 2024 after forming through "The Debut: Dream Academy," a reality competition that drew 120,000 applicants worldwide. The group underwent HYBE America's training and development program, blending K-pop's intensive preparation methods with Western pop sensibilities.
The lineup consists of Sophia, Lara, Daniela, Megan, Manon, and Yoonchae, representing the Philippines, India, Cuba/Venezuela, the United States, Switzerland, and South Korea. This diversity informs their self-described identity as a "global girl group."
"Gabriela" was co-written by Charli XCX and features a Spanish-language bridge with Latin-inspired production elements. Music critics have drawn comparisons to Dolly Parton's "Jolene" in its narrative approach.
The group currently headlines The Beautiful Chaos Tour across North America, with 16 shows scheduled in 13 cities. All dates sold out during presale, prompting additional shows in several markets.
