JENNIE and KATSEYE delivered contrasting music videos on July 24, with “Less Than a Lover” bringing romance and “Animal” previewing WILD. Eight more releases round out the weekend queue.
LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE share a rare multi-label win as ‘ICONIC BY MISTAKE’ debuts in the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 and holds in week two. The cross-group single also posts strong global, UK and Spotify numbers, hinting at HYBE’s girl group move.
BTS’ Arirang era just logged a 14th week on the Billboard 200 top 10 while Swim and Come Over hold the Hot 100. HYBE girl groups and rookies are joining them on the same charts, raising questions about how long this run can last.
KATSEYE crash into 2026 with Internet Girl, a tour favorite turned global chart storm that lands alongside Gabriela and Gnarly on the Hot 100. But behind the emoji dance and chaotic hook, the single signals a deeper shift in HYBE and Geffen’s global girl group experiment.
