Global Girl Group KATSEYE’s ‘Nalli’ Makes Waves with Critical Acclaim

Global girl group KATSEYE is cementing its status as a rising force in the music industry, with their hit song ‘Nalli’ receiving major international recognition. On December 1, 2025, the prestigious British music magazine NME ranked ‘Nalli’ at an impressive #5 on its highly anticipated “50 Best Songs of the Year” list. This accolade for KATSEYE, a collaboration between HYBE America and Geffen Records, highlights the group’s successful crossover and growing critical acclaim.

A Bold Sound and Impressive Chart Performance

‘Nalli’ is a standout track from the group’s second EP, Beautiful Chaos. The song marked a significant artistic evolution for the group, shifting from the softer concept of their June 2024 debut ‘Touch’ to an edgier, hyperpop sound. Produced by Bang Si-hyuk and Slow Rabbit, the track captured the attention of a global audience. This success translated into tangible chart results. The song peaked at number 52 on the UK Official Singles Top 100 chart on May 9, 2025. It also entered the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching its highest position at number 90 on June 21, 2025, proving the global girl group’s widespread appeal.

Eyeing the Grammy Awards: A New Milestone for KATSEYE

The group’s momentum continues with even more prestigious recognition. KATSEYE has been nominated for two awards at the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards, scheduled to take place on February 1, 2026. These nominations are a monumental achievement for the rookie group, placing them in the same league as some of the world’s most established artists. The journey of this global girl group, much like that of other top-tier acts such as SEVENTEEN, showcases a meteoric rise fueled by talent and strategic global promotion.

Meet the Members Behind the Success

The international success of the song ‘Nalli’ is brought to life by the six members of KATSEYE: Daniela, Lara, Yoonchae, Sophia, Megan, and Manon. The group’s diverse multinational composition is a key part of their identity and appeal, allowing them to connect with a broad fanbase across different cultures.
