KATSEYE’s Animal ranks No. 18 on the UK Singles Chart: what two straight weeks in the Top 20 mean
KATSEYE’s Animal ranked No. 18 on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100. The latest Official Charts period runs from August 7 to 13, and Animal has remained in the Top 20 for a second straight week after entering at No. 16 last week. That matters because listening continued beyond the first-week buzz around the new release.
Key summary
- According to Official Charts, Animal ranked No. 18 on the latest UK Singles Chart Top 100.
- After entering at No. 16 last week, it stayed in the Top 20 for a second consecutive week.
- KBS News, Yonhap News, and Newsis reported the UK chart result alongside the broader global K-pop chart trend.
- Repeat listening, streaming durability, and local promotion are likely to matter more for the next ranking than short-term buzz alone.
Confirmed facts
- Official Charts lists Animal at No. 18 on the latest UK Singles Chart Top 100.
- KBS News reported that Animal stayed near the top of the UK Official Singles Chart for a second week.
- Yonhap News and Newsis also highlighted No. 18 and a second straight week in the Top 20 as the key result.

Issue point
The performance of a global K-pop team cannot be explained only by domestic music charts. For a team such as KATSEYE, with multinational members and a clear English-language market target, the key is how long the song lasts on charts in markets such as the UK and the U.S. No. 18 is lower than the No. 16 debut, but remaining in the Top 20 for a second week shows durability after the initial fandom push.
What to watch next
- Check whether the song holds in the Top 20 or Top 40 in next week’s chart.
- Watch whether music shows, festival stages, and short-form video reactions create a streaming rebound.
- See whether the group’s global concept leads beyond a one-time buzz into tours and wider fandom growth.

Note: Overseas chart rankings vary by methodology and chart period. It is better to watch multi-week durability, streaming changes, and local activity rather than one weekly rank alone.
