Katseye Dances To New Career Highs On Multiple Charts With New Smash

Just before heading to Indio to play Coachella, Katseye released its much-hyped new single “Pinky Up.” The girl group promoted the tune with several teasers, and like many other artists that performed during the important pop culture event – it really is more than just a concert these days – “Pinky Up” was released ahead of the festival. That strategy gives the thousands of fans who will turn up for an act’s performance something to be especially excited about. Typically, many of the biggest names on the poster enjoy bumps on charts globally, and all of the media hype and social media attention can turn any just-released cut into a quick win.

That’s exactly what’s happened with Katseye’s “Pinky Up,” which launches on multiple tallies in the United Kingdom and brings the Grammy-nominated singing group to never-before-seen peaks on several lists.

Katseye’s “Pinky Up” Debuts on Several U.K. Charts

“Pinky Up” launches on four rosters in the U.K. this week, and it becomes an instant top 40 smash on each and every one of them. The tune starts highest on the Official Singles chart, which details the most-consumed cuts in the country. “Pinky Up” opens at No. 14 on that roster.

The song doesn’t manage to start inside the top 20 on any of the other three rundowns where it can be found — the Official Streaming (No. 21), Official Singles Downloads (No. 37), and Official Singles Sales (No. 40) charts — but it does stand out as one of the top new arrivals this period.

“Pinky Up” Brings Katseye to New Career Chart Highs

Before “Pinky Up,” Katseye’s highest-rising hit on three of those four rankings was “Internet Girl.” That early 2026 tune reached the top 40 on several rosters, but it did not hang on for long. “Pinky Up” outpaces “Internet Girl” by at least 10 spots on all three rankings where the girl group climbs to a new career peak.

“Pinky Up” Does Not Mark a New Peak for the Group

“Pinky Up” does not stand out as Katseye’s biggest win on just one tally, the Official Singles Sales chart. That’s the list where the song opens at No. 40, its lowest placement this frame. Katseye’s first smash, “Gabriela,” nearly conquered the rundown, but instead settled for standing out as the second-bestselling tune of any style or language and via any format throughout the U.K. “Pinky Up” becomes Katseye’s second-highest-climbing track thus far (out of only three placements).

Katseye Earns a Fourth Career Win

On the Official Singles, Official Streaming, and Official Singles Downloads charts, “Pinky Up” becomes Katseye’s fourth career smash. “Gnarly,” “Gabriela,” “Internet Girl,” and now “Pinky Up” have all become bestsellers, powerful streamers, and all-around hits. The vocal outfit has only failed to accrue a quartet of smashes on the Official Singles Sales chart. On that tally, “Gabriela,” “Internet Girl,” and “Pinky Up” have appeared, but “Gnarly” never ranked as a massive seller in the U.K.

Katseye’s “Gabriela” Returns to the U.K. Charts

Speaking of “Gabriela” – the arrival of “Pinky Up,” paired with Katseye’s Coachella appearance, helps that Grammy-nominated track become a true hit once more in the U.K. “Gabriela” returns to the top 10 on the Official Physical Singles chart, bolting from No. 16 to No. 9. At the same time, the girl group’s popular cut reenters the Official Vinyl Singles tally, landing at No. 20.

In the past, “Gabriela” has spent 12 weeks as a top seller on physical formats, and it appears for only the second time on the vinyl roster. “Gabriela” has hit No. 1 on both rankings it currently inhabits.
