K-pop girl group KATSEYE has achieved its career-best ranking of No. 2 on Britain's Official Albums Chart with their latest EP, Wild. The U.S.-based group's third EP debuted at No. 2 on the chart, a significant improvement from its previous peak of No. 55 with the EP Beautiful Chaos released last year.

The album, released on August 14, delves into the theme of accepting all aspects of one's inner self while embracing instinct and freedom. Notable figures such as HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, British pop star Ed Sheeran, and producers Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin contributed to the album's creation. Recently, BTS's fifth studio album ARIRANG held the No. 68 position on the albums chart, marking its 22nd consecutive week on the list.
