K-Pop Group Katseye's "Gabriela" Becomes Their First Song to Surpass 1 Billion Spotify Streams

On October 18, 2026, the six-member K-pop group Katseye — formed through the HYBE x Geffen partnership — reached a landmark milestone when their breakout single "Gabriela" surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, becoming the first of their songs to enter the platform's Billions Club. Released in June 2025 as part of their second EP Beautiful Chaos, "Gabriela" blends sleek pop production with Latin-tinged acoustic guitar. The track made history on the Billboard Hot 100 by debuting at No. 21, then the group's highest charting position, and spent 28 weeks on the chart. On Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global chart it peaked at No. 10, remaining there for 64 weeks in total. The milestone arrived as Katseye are in the middle of their North American Wildworld Tour, which spans 17 cities through November 2026. The 1 billion achievement generated widespread coverage from K-pop and pop-music outlets across South Korea, the Philippines and the United States, and coincided with the streaming debut of the group's documentary Katseye: Wild Hearts on Hulu and Disney+, amplifying attention around the group in the same week.
