Katseye, the international girl group, has achieved a significant milestone on the Billboard Radio Songs chart with their track “Animal” debuting at No. 50, marking their second entry on this ranking. Their first appearance came less than a year ago with “Gabriela,” which peaked at No. 28 in January 2026 after a 16-week run. “Animal” benefits from broad radio play across multiple formats, helping it reach new audiences and expand Katseye’s presence in the U.S. market.

This year has been especially successful for Katseye, fueled by the release of their EP _Wild_ in mid-August 2026, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Although the EP's overall chart performance has started to decline, “Animal” is gaining traction individually by climbing toward a higher peak on the Pop Airplay chart, reaching No. 21.

Notably, “Animal” is one of only three new songs entering the Radio Songs chart this week. Ariana Grande’s “Petal” leads these debuts at No. 47, just ahead of Lil Baby’s “Dead Fresh” at No. 49, while Katseye’s “Animal” follows closely behind. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continues to dominate the chart with “I Knew It, I Knew You” from _Toy Story 5_, holding the No. 1 spot albeit for one of the shortest durations among her hits.

While “Animal” experiences drops across other Billboard charts such as the Hot 100, Streaming Songs, and the Global charts, its rise on the Pop Airplay chart signals a growing radio appeal. This track’s performance is an important marker of Katseye’s ongoing momentum, doubling their career hits on a major radio chart and reaffirming their status as a promising act in the competitive music industry.
