  "account": "On August 29th, the all-female group KATSEYE achieved a historic milestone by debuting with the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 for their EP WILD. This marked the group's career-best performance, surpassing their previous EP Beautiful Chaos, which entered the chart at No. 4 with 44,000 units. The success of WILD not only sets a new single-week high for an all-female group since 2015 but also indicates a significant growth in KATSEYE's fanbase. With 170,000 first-week units, the debut performance is considered a solid 7.5 out of 10 by Kyle Denis, and a 9.5 by Lyndsey Havens, reflecting the impressive impact of the group's achievements.",
