2025-06-23

In a significant win for global pop sensations KATSEYE, their latest single "Gabriela" has emerged victorious in this week’s Billboard new music poll. Released ahead of their forthcoming EP Beautiful Chaos, the track captured 43% of fan votes, surpassing releases from renowned artists such as Public Enemy, Cardi B, and Karol G. This achievement marks another milestone for the six-member group, who recently made their debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Gnarly." Accompanied by a melodramatic music video inspired by telenovelas, "Gabriela" showcases a blend of Latin pop rhythms and bilingual lyrics.

The journey of "Gabriela" began just before its release date on June 19, when anticipation was already building among fans. The song serves as a pre-release for KATSEYE's upcoming EP, set to drop under HYBE x Geffen Records. Its unique style incorporates both English and Spanish elements, enhancing its appeal across diverse audiences. Moreover, the accompanying music video features actress Jessica Alba and director Andrew Thomas Huang, contributing to its viral success with over 9 million YouTube views within days.

Beyond the poll victory, KATSEYE showcased their dynamic presence at the Kids' Choice Awards on June 20 with a performance of "Gnarly," culminating in a traditional sliming finale. Their growing influence is evident not only through chart placements but also through collaborations like the recent remix featuring Ice Spice.

Despite stiff competition in the poll, including tracks like Public Enemy’s "March Madness" and Cardi B’s "Outside," KATSEYE managed to secure an overwhelming lead. Such triumph underscores the band's expanding reach and popularity in today's music landscape.

This week’s poll results highlight KATSEYE's rapid ascent in the music industry. With "Gabriela" leading the charge, the group continues to captivate listeners worldwide. As they prepare for the release of their EP, fans eagerly await what lies ahead for these trailblazers in global pop culture.
