According to the latest UK Official Charts (September 25–October 1) released on the 26th (Korea Standard Time), “Animal,” the pre-release track from KATSEYE’s third EP *WILD*, ranked 22nd on the “Official Singles Top 100.” This track, which had previously reached No. 12—the group’s highest-ever chart position—has now remained on the chart for nine consecutive weeks. The title track “Hootie Frutti” also held at No. 59, marking its sixth consecutive week on the chart.
The EP “WILD” ranked 65th on the “Official Albums Top 100,” maintaining its position on the chart for six consecutive weeks. The album debuted at No. 2 on the chart in its first week of release, demonstrating Cat’s Eye’s strong local popularity.
Cat’s Eye’s momentum continued on the global music streaming platform Spotify as well. This week, “Animal” ranked No. 39 and “Hootie Frutti” No. 102 on the “Weekly Top Songs Global” chart (September 18–24), marking their ninth and sixth consecutive weeks on the chart, respectively.
The special collaboration track “ICONIC BY MISTAKE,” featuring LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, also ranked 196th, demonstrating its staying power by remaining on the chart for the 15th consecutive week.
Cat’s Eye’s strong performance continues on the U.S. Billboard charts as well. On the latest “Hot 100,” “Animal” ranked No. 28 and “Hooty Fruity” ranked No. 91.
Their EP “WILD” topped the main album chart, the “Billboard 200,” and this week (dated September 26) ranked at No. 22, marking its fifth consecutive week on the chart. In addition, her previous album *Beautiful Chaos* and her debut EP *SIS (Soft Is Strong)* also entered the chart simultaneously, meaning Cat’s Eye has placed all three of her released albums on the *Billboard 200* for five consecutive weeks.
