The album recorded 145,000 pure sales, giving KATSEYE its biggest sales week so far. It also posted the largest weekly unit total for an all-female group since Billboard began using equivalent album units in December 2014.

WILD was supported by two songs that entered the Billboard Hot 100. “Pinky Up” reached #28 in April, while “Animal” peaked at #24 on the August 8 chart.
