While \u201cGabriela\u201d remains KATSEYE\u2019s highest-charting song after peaking at No. 7, \u201cAnimal\u201d now owns the strongest opening-day performance in the group\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">The ambitious rollout has also fueled excitement. Directed by Cody Critcheloe, the <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/inmusicblog.com\/news\/katseye-animal-music-video-demi-moore-cameo\/\">music video<\/a><\/strong> pairs cinematic visuals, mirrored realities and striking choreography with a surprise cameo from Academy Award-nominated actress <strong>Demi Moore<\/strong>. Musically, \u201cAnimal\u201d gives Sophia, Lara, Daniela, Megan and Yoonchae extended solo moments while exploring themes of confidence and embracing one\u2019s instincts. The single also serves as another glimpse into <em>WILD<\/em>, arriving August 14 via HYBE x Geffen Records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>JENNIE<\/strong> secured second place in the fan vote with \u201c<strong>Less Than a Lover<\/strong>,\u201d which has enjoyed an equally impressive commercial launch. The self-written and self-composed song debuted at No. 34 on Spotify\u2019s Daily Global chart with 2.261 million streams, while simultaneously reaching No. 1 on iTunes in at least 27 countries. The music video also topped YouTube\u2019s Worldwide Trending Music Videos chart after collecting 5.7 million views during its first 24 hours, giving the BLACKPINK star one of the strongest solo debuts of 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Charli xcx\u2019s <strong><em>Music, Fashion, Film<\/em> <\/strong>finished third after making an immediate impact on streaming platforms. The album generated 10.5 million Spotify streams during its opening day and quickly climbed to No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Albums chart, extending the momentum surrounding her first full-length project since <strong><em>BRAT<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 wp-block-paragraph\">Rounding out the poll was Tyla\u2019s <strong><em>A*POP<\/em><\/strong>.
