KATSEYE's 'Animal' hits Spotify Global top 50 for 11th straight week, rebounds on US chart

Two months in, still climbing

KATSEYE's Animal hit No. 48 on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global chart for October 2–8, up two positions from the week before. That marks 11 straight weeks on the chart. The pre-release single from their third EP WILD previously peaked at No. 8 on the same ranking.

On Spotify's Weekly Top Songs USA, Animal jumped 12 spots to No. 112. Most singles don't stick around this long. This one's still moving.

WILD's title track Hootie Frutti is holding too: No. 150 on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global for an eighth consecutive week. It peaked at No. 18 on that chart.

UK chart: both tracks still in

On the UK Official Singles Top 100 (October 9–15), Animal sits at No. 79 and Hootie Frutti at No. 66. That's 11 and 8 consecutive weeks on the chart, respectively. Animal reached a group-best No. 12 at its peak; Hootie Frutti peaked at No. 16.

The album behind both tracks, WILD, reached No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 and placed three songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

North America next

KATSEYE wrapped the European leg of THE WILDWORLD TOUR. The North American leg kicks off in Miami on October 13 (local time). On October 18, the group performs at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles. December 1 brings an iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour date.

The group debuted in the United States in 2024 under HYBE's "Multi Home, Multi Genre" strategy.
