Korean-American girl group Katseye continues to build momentum on the UK Official Charts.
According to the latest UK Official Charts released Friday (local time), Katseye's EP B-side "ANIMAL" climbed to No. 17 on the Official Singles Chart Top 100, marking five consecutive weeks on the chart.
The title track "Hootie Frutti" held its place in the top 25 for a second straight week, landing at No. 25 — down nine spots from the previous week.
Their new EP "WILD," which features both tracks, landed at No. 24 on the Official Albums Chart Top 100, placing in the upper tier of the main albums chart for a second consecutive week.
The album declares an instinctive sense of liberation and self-driven freedom from the weight of others' expectations. It brings together five polished tracks: lead single "Hootie Frutti," pre-releases "Pinky Up" and "ANIMAL," the vocally rich "Bel Air," and "That Way," which captures the bittersweet aftertaste of a breakup.
Beyond Katseye, K-pop's long-term chart presence in the UK remains strong. "GOLDEN," the original soundtrack from the Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters, held at No. 52 on the Singles Top 100 for a remarkable 62 consecutive weeks. BTS's fifth studio album "ARIRANG" also charted at No. 92 on the Albums Top 100, extending its run to 23 consecutive weeks and reaffirming the group's enduring album power.
