The global pop phenomenon KATSEYE (캣츠아이), the collaborative girl group formed by HYBE and Geffen Records, has once again captured worldwide attention with the explosive success of their latest track Internet Girl.
According to Spotify’s latest update on January 3, Internet Girl made an impressive entrance at No. 6 on the US Daily Top Songs chart and No. 13 on the Global Daily Top Songs list. The track amassed approximately 2.87 million streams within its first 24 hours, setting a new personal record for the group’s first-day streaming numbers.
What makes this milestone remarkable is that Internet Girl isn’t even an official title track. Originally a fan-favorite deep cut from their growing catalog, the song’s performance demonstrates KATSEYE’s expanding global influence. Building on the momentum of previous hits like Gabriela and Gnarly from their second EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, the group continues to cement their place as one of the most exciting new acts in the international pop scene.
Musically, Internet Girl delivers an energetic mix of dance-pop and digital flair, blending a catchy hook with clever, tongue-in-cheek lyrics that playfully comment on the pressures of online fame. Both critics and fans have applauded the track’s refreshing sound and KATSEYE’s signature blend of confidence and charm.
Fueling its viral success is a standout choreography moment, where members briefly hide their faces with their hands before revealing expressive looks in sync with the beat. This playful routine—quickly dubbed the “emoji dance” by fans—has taken social media by storm. Across TikTok and Instagram, thousands of users are recreating the move in short-form videos, helping the song dominate trending feeds worldwide.
As Internet Girl surges in popularity, KATSEYE’s earlier releases are also enjoying renewed attention. Gabriela, released in June 2025, jumped 38 positions to reach No. 14 on Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global chart, while Gnarly re-entered the same ranking at No. 191.
Since their official U.S. debut in June 2024 after the reality competition The Debut: Dream Academy, KATSEYE has exemplified HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s “multi-home, multi-genre” vision. Their previous single Gnarly and the fan-favorite Gabriela both earned spots on the Billboard Hot 100, while their EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
Adding to their growing list of achievements, KATSEYE has been nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards, signaling their fast rise as one of pop music’s most promising new forces.
With Internet Girl dominating charts, inspiring viral dance trends, and reigniting interest in their past hits, KATSEYE’s unstoppable momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
