KATSEYE have crossed a major streaming landmark: "Gabriela" has officially passed 1 billion streams on Spotify, earning the group its first-ever entry into the platform's Billions Club.
According to a report published October 18, 2026 by kstartrend.com, citing Sports Donga, the track crossed the ten-figure mark on October 16, 2026 — 484 days after its release on June 20, 2025. That makes "Gabriela" the first billion-stream song of KATSEYE's career.
The Milestone
A billion Spotify streams is one of streaming's rarest achievements, and "Gabriela" is the song that carried KATSEYE across that line. The October 18, 2026 report from kstartrend.com, citing Sports Donga, frames October 16, 2026 as the date the track hit ten figures.
The journey took some time: released on June 20, 2025, "Gabriela" needed 484 days to reach the milestone — a slow-burning run that turned the Latin-flavored single into the group's definitive hit. It has also kept a remarkable hold on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global chart, logging 64 weeks there, per Spotify's chart data cited in the reports.
The video numbers are nearly as eye-catching. The official music video was sitting at approximately 97.32 million YouTube views as of October 18, 2026, putting the 100-million mark within reach.
The celebration comes during a headline weekend for the group: KATSEYE are performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026, held October 18 at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, though the setlist was unannounced ahead of the show. Meanwhile, according to reports, members Sophia and Manon are on a temporary hiatus.
About "Gabriela"
"Gabriela" arrived as the second single from KATSEYE's second EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which was released on June 27, 2025 via HYBE x Geffen Records. The track's sultry Latin-pop sound was a sharp stylistic turn for the group — and it paid off.
The official music video leans all the way into its telenovela inspiration: a tongue-in-cheek soap-opera parody starring Jessica Alba as the ruthless CEO of the fictional Gabriela Enterprises. The video was directed by Andrew Thomas Huang.
On the charts, "Gabriela" has been one of the longest-running crossover hits of the past two years. According to Billboard, it peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 28 weeks, and reached No. 9 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, where it spent 26 weeks. Per the Official Charts Company, the single peaked at No. 38 on the UK Official Singles Chart.
