Global girl group KATSEYE is cementing a monumental year of K-pop success, marked by a dominant presence on the Billboard Hot 100 and a coveted Grammy nomination. Since their U.S. debut in June 2024 under Hybe America, the group has become a prime example of the successful global application of the K-pop methodology, culminating in widespread acclaim and chart dominance throughout 2025.
A Landmark Year on the Billboard Hot 100
KATSEYE has demonstrated remarkable staying power on the charts this year. The group’s hit song “Gabriela” has spent an impressive 18 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. According to the latest chart data, the track is set to rank at #31 on the chart dated November 29, 2025, proving its sustained popularity among listeners. This achievement follows their initial success in early 2025 when their song “Gnarly” also secured a high rank, setting the stage for a banner year. The group’s performance continues a trend of K-pop artists achieving significant milestones, reminiscent of when BTS Achieves Number 1 On Billboard “Hot 100” In Lieu With Birthday Of 4 Members, solidifying the genre’s global impact.
Competing in a Dynamic Chart Landscape
While KATSEYE’s run with “Gabriela” is notable, 2025 has been a competitive year for girl groups. The virtual group HUNTR/X saw their song “Golden” chart for an astounding 22 weeks, ultimately securing the record for the longest-charting girl group song of the year. This highlights the diverse and dynamic nature of the current music scene where both traditional and virtual artists are vying for the top spots on the Billboard Hot 100.
From U.S. Debut to Grammy Nomination
The group’s incredible chart performance and subsequent Grammy nomination validate the strategic vision of Hybe America and its founder, Bang SiHyuk. By launching KATSEYE directly in the United States, the company aimed to prove that its training and production system could create a successful global girl group outside of the traditional Korean market. The Grammy nomination serves as a major validation of this K-pop success strategy, placing KATSEYE among the world’s musical elite.
The “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS” Tour and Future Prospects
Currently, KATSEYE is connecting with their growing fanbase through their first U.S. tour, titled “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS.” As of November 26, 2025, the tour is in full swing, allowing fans to experience their chart-topping hits live. With a successful tour underway, a long-running hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and a Grammy nomination under their belt, KATSEYE has firmly established themselves as a leading global girl group, promising an even more impactful future.
