KATSEYE has reached a new high point in their chart history with “Pinky Up.” According to the latest Billboard chart released on Tuesday, April 21, the track debuted at #28 on the Hot 100. That is the KATSEYE’s highest peak position on the chart so far. The girl group was formed through a partnership between Hybe and Geffen Records, and this latest entry shows the group is continuing to grow quickly, and their chart dominance continues to grow. “Pinky Up” became the fourth straight song of the group to enter the Hot 100, following “Gnarly,” “Gabriela” and “Internet Girl.”
The new single has also performed well outside the United States. For the week of April 17 to April 23, 2026, “Pinky Up” reached #14 on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100, which is another personal record for the group. It also ranked #18 on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart for April 10 to April 16, 2026. Among all new entries during that period, it placed the highest. These suggest that fans are interested in a quirky, bold, and careless euro-pop sound, which KATSEYE is offering in the track.

A big reason for that growth appears to be the group’s live performance at Coachella. The girl group first performed “Pinky Up” during the festival’s first weekend on April 10, 2026, in Indio, California, in front of about 60,000 attendees. After that appearance, the song gained speed on social media and started climbing up the charts. Meanwhile, “Pinky Up” will be included on KATSEYE’s third EP titled “WILD,” scheduled for release on August 14, 2026. The project will include five songs, with more teaser content expected to come soon.
