KATSEYE Sets Personal Record On UK’s Official Albums Chart With “WILD” + “Animal” Rises On Singles Chart
KATSEYE’s latest release is going strong in the United Kingdom!
This week, the United Kingdom’s Official Charts (widely regarded as the U.K. equivalent to Billboard’s U.S. charts) announced that KATSEYE’s third EP “WILD” had climbed back up to No. 22 on its Official Albums Chart.
“WILD,” which debuted at No. 2 two weeks ago, has now become KATSEYE’s first album ever to spend three weeks on the Official Albums Chart.
Meanwhile, the group’s pre-release single “Animal” climbed back up to No. 16 in its sixth week on the Official Singles Chart. “Animal,” which peaked at No. 12 two weeks ago, currently holds the record for KATSEYE’s highest-ranking song on the chart to date.
KATSEYE’s title track “Hootie Frutti” also ranked No. 33 in its third consecutive week on the Official Singles Chart.
KATSEYE Sets Record On Billboard 200 As “WILD” Debuts At No. 1
KATSEYE has just made Billboard 200 history with their first-ever No. 1 album!
On August 23 local time, Billboard announced that KATSEYE’s new EP “WILD” had debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making it the group’s first album ever to top the chart.
According to Luminate (formerly Nielsen Music), “WILD” earned a total of 170,000 equivalent album units during the week ending on August 20, marking a new career high for KATSEYE.
The EP’s total score consisted of 145,000 traditional album sales—making it the best-selling album of the week in the United States and marking another personal record for the group— and 24,500 streaming equivalent album (SEA) units, which translates to 26.95 million on-demand audio streams over the course of the week. The album also racked up 500 track equivalent album (TEA) units in its first week.
Notably, “WILD” has achieved the largest week by units for an all-female group since the Billboard 200 first began ranking by units in December 2015. Additionally, “WILD” earned the biggest pure album sales week for an all-female group since TWICE’s “READY TO BE” three years ago (which debuted with 146,000 traditional album sales in its first week back in 2023).
“WILD” is KATSEYE’s second top 10 album and third chart entry overall on the Billboard 200, which the group previously entered with “SIS (Soft Is Strong)” (which peaked at No. 98) and “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS” (No. 4).
Congratulations to KATSEYE on their impressive new record!

The production team behind the highly anticipated second season of “Signal” has responded to reports regarding the drama’s premiere schedule.

Watch: Jeon No Min And Han Go Eun’s Affair Sets Off A Tragic Chain Of Events In Upcoming Drama “Family Register” Teaser
MBC’s upcoming daily drama “Family Register” has released a new teaser!
“Family Register” tells the story of a child who is branded from birth as the person responsible for destroying a family and a woman who fights against society’s prejudice and a cruel fate to reclaim her life.
The newly released trailer opens with Na Se Ri (Han Go Eun), dressed in a glamorous gown, playing the cello with a sorrowful facial expression as she sheds tears. It then gradually reveals the chain of tragic events that tore a family apart due to the misguided choices made by Na Se Ri and Cha Min Ki (Jeon No Min).
Cha Min Ki’s second son Cha Seung Woo (Jeon Seung Bin) erupts in anger, saying, “I never even got to play a single game of soccer like everyone else. What was so great about having a father anyway?” His older brother Cha Seung Hyun (Seo Do Young) also lashes out, saying, “The father my younger brother longed for, the husband our mother lost—you and your mother took him away.” Their words vividly reveal the deep wounds left behind by a twisted love. In one scene, Na Ji Ni (Park Se Young), dressed in mourning clothes, piques curiosity with the cryptic remark, “Maybe I’m the only one who feels this strange sense of kinship.”
The teaser also gives a glimpse of the family’s tragic past. In front of their two sons, Cha Min Ki hands divorce papers to his wife Noh Young Joo (Lim Ji Eun), who angrily tears them to pieces. In one scene, Noh Young Joo storms into Na Se Ri and Cha Min Ki’s new home and declares, “I’ll make sure your child spends the rest of their lives experiencing exactly what it means to have parents who had an affair,” foreshadowing her relentless revenge.
In the present day, Na Se Ri continues to justify her past choices. In one scene, she is heard insisting, “Nobody likes having their love interfered with.” Her obsessive mindset hints that the conflict is far from over. The teaser ends with Na Ji Ni’s heartbreaking words, “Don’t save me. I don’t want to live.”
Watch the teaser below!
“Family Register” is scheduled to premiere on July 6. Stay tuned!

WOODZ Sets Record On Melon Chart For Longest Run In Top 10
WOODZ (Cho Seung Youn) continues his record-breaking run on Melon’s Top 100!
Last week, WOODZ’s beloved hit “Drowning” reached an impressive milestone on the main chart for Melon, Korea’s largest music streaming service. “Drowning” became the first song ever to spend 70 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of Melon’s Top 100 chart.
As of May 19, “Drowning” has extended that record by spending 71 consecutive weeks in the top 10.
Originally released as a B-side in 2023, “Drowning” went viral in October 2024 after WOODZ performed the song during an “Immortal Songs” Armed Forces Day special while serving in the military. The song’s sudden surge in popularity propelled it to the top of the Korean music charts, and it ultimately ranked No. 1 on the 2025 year-end charts for Melon, Genie, and Circle Chart. The hit song also belatedly earned WOODZ his first music show win on a public broadcast network, claiming two separate wins on SBS’s “Inkigayo.”
Before “Drowning,” the previous records for the most consecutive weeks in the top 10 of Melon’s Top 100 belonged to NewJeans’ “Hype Boy” (49 weeks) and BTS’s “Dynamite” (36 weeks).
