KATSEYE Claims First Global 200 Top 10 With Ed Sheeran Collaboration

KATSEYE breaks new ground on the Billboard Global 200 as their latest single, “Animal,” debuts at No. 10. According to data tracker Luminate, the track pulled in 29.8 million streams and 3,000 units sold globally in its first tracking week.

The group’s momentum follows a string of chart appearances beginning with “Gnarly” in May 2025, which marked their first Hot 100 entry.

Country Music Monopolizes the Billboard Hot 100 Top Five

Country music achieved an unprecedented milestone on the Billboard Hot 100 by claiming the entire top five simultaneously for the first time in chart history, according to Luminate data. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” leads the charge, holding the No. 1 spot for a 16th week and tying for the fourth-longest rule in the history of the chart, which dates back to August 1958. Morgan Wallen contributes significantly to the genre’s dominance, debuting at No. 2 on the Hot 100 with “Been by Now.” This tracks as Wallen’s milestone 20th top 10, making him the first artist that has primarily recorded country music in his entire career to achieve the feat. Wallen’s album I’m the Problem also rebounds for a 14th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Global Chart Dominance and Genre Milestones

Beyond domestic country charts, international collaborations continue to drive global consumption. Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” remains the biggest song in the world, topping the Billboard Global 200 for a fourth week and the Global Excl. U.S. chart for a sixth week, despite the tournament’s final match concluding on July 19, according to Luminate data.
