Katseye Achieves Record Chart Success with New Single 'Gabriella'

In a significant milestone for the emerging girl group Katseye, their latest single "Gabriella" has debuted at No. 42 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart and No. 64 on the Official Streaming Chart, marking the highest-charting release in the group’s brief history. The single, which is part of their recently released EP "Beautiful Chaos," showcases the group's growing influence in the music industry.

Katseye, formed through the reality series "Dream Academy," is a collaborative effort between K-pop powerhouse Hybe and Geffen Records. The group, which includes members from various countries and is based in Los Angeles, previously released their first EP "SIS (Soft Is Strong)" in the summer of 2024. Following nearly a year of anticipation, the new EP "Beautiful Chaos" was officially launched on June 27, 2025.

According to data obtained from the Official Charts Company, "Gabriella" has not only debuted prominently on the charts, but it has also elevated Katseye’s standing in the U.K. music scene, where they have cultivated a dedicated fanbase. This success follows their earlier single "Gnarly," which peaked at No. 52 on the Official Singles Chart and No. 93 on the Streaming Chart just a few weeks prior.

Dr. Emily Carter, a music industry analyst at the University of Southern California, commented on the group's rapid ascent, stating, "Katseye's blend of diverse musical influences and strong visual appeal resonates with audiences, particularly in the ever-evolving landscape of pop music. Their ability to chart so quickly demonstrates both talent and strategic marketing."

The chart performance of "Gabriella" is particularly noteworthy, as it appears alongside "Gnarly" on the Official Singles Chart, with the latter climbing to No. 74. This dual presence on the charts indicates a potential upward trajectory for Katseye as they continue to release new music.

Looking ahead, the group’s EP "Beautiful Chaos" is anticipated to further boost their chart standings. The previous EP "SIS" just missed the top 40, but with two hit singles now to their name, Katseye is poised for greater success.

Industry observers are optimistic about what lies ahead for the group. Jason Lee, a senior executive at Geffen Records, stated, "Katseye's unique sound and international appeal make them a formidable presence in the pop music landscape. We believe their trajectory is just beginning, and we are excited to support their journey."

As Katseye continues to rise, their impact on the global music scene is becoming increasingly apparent. With a dedicated fanbase and a growing repertoire of hits, the future seems bright for this innovative girl group. Their story reflects a broader trend in the music industry where global collaboration and diverse influences are driving new successes in a competitive marketplace.
