KATSEYE’s WILD debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 makes Katseye Billboard 200 number one Wild the group’s first chart-topping album. The Aug. 29 list also puts Phoebe Bridgers at No. 2 with Lost Weekend, while WILD’s 170,000 equivalent album units give the group its biggest week yet.
WILD and Lost Weekend
170,000 equivalent album units is the number that separates this week from KATSEYE’s earlier highs. WILD also sold 145,000 copies, which means the No. 1 launch was powered by both broad consumption and a strong direct-sales push.
118,000 equivalent album units is the figure that gave Phoebe Bridgers her first top 10-charted set, as Lost Weekend opened at No. 2. It was also her best week ever by units, with 77,000 traditional album sales and 41,000 SEA units, and it debuted at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums. For a chart week that usually rewards scale on multiple fronts, those numbers put both acts in sharper relief: KATSEYE owned the top slot, while Bridgers posted the clearest career benchmark of her album run so far.
All-woman group No. 1s
WILD is the fourth No. 1 album by an all-woman group this decade, following TWICE’s With YOU-th in 2025, NewJeans’ 2nd EP 'Get Up' in 2023 and BLACKPINK’s Born Pink in 2022. Before Born Pink, the last No. 1 album by an all-woman group was Danity Kane’s Welcome to the Dollhouse in 2008. That span leaves KATSEYE in a narrow lane, not a crowded one.
The 170,000-unit total also made WILD the largest week by units for an all-woman group since Billboard 200 began ranking by units in December 2015, and it was KATSEYE’s biggest week by equivalent album units and by pure album sales. WILD’s sales were driven in part by more than 30 CD and vinyl variants with collectible items, including photcards, randomized items and signed editions, with some editions carrying bonus tracks. That sales mix complicates the cleanest reading of the No. 1 debut: the demand is real, but the format strategy clearly helped convert it into a chart-topper.
Billboard 200 Aug. 29
Billboard says the full Aug. 29, 2026-dated chart will be posted on its website on Aug. 25. Until then, the main takeaway is already fixed: WILD gave KATSEYE its first No. 1 album, and the scale of the debut places the group alongside the strongest all-woman group launches of the decade.
