Katseye exceeded 1 billion streams on Spotify with “Gabriela” on Friday, marking a first for the group in adding its name to the platform’s “Billions Club,” Hybe X Geffen Records announced Sunday.
“Gabriela” released in June last year ahead of the group's second EP, “Beautiful Chaos,” entering Billboard’s Hot 100 at No. 21, the highest rung for the six-member act at the time. The pop number tinged with Latin vibes spent 28 weeks on the main songs chart. In the UK, it rose to No. 38 in the Official Singles Top 100 and stayed on the chart for 18 weeks.
Meanwhile, the group will hold a concert in North Carolina on Tuesday, the third stop of the North American leg of its “The Wildworld Tour.” It is visiting 16 more cities in the region through the end of November.
