It re-entered at No. 76 on August 23rd, then rose to No. 63 on September 6th, and No. 45 on September 27th, finally breaking into the top 30 this week.
The track also reached a new peak on Billboard's 'Pop Airplay' chart, securing the 16th spot. Since its debut at No. 37 in mid-August, 'Gabriela' has remained on the chart for 13 consecutive weeks, highlighting KATSEYE's growing popularity and radio presence.

It also ranks at No. 16 on 'Top Album Sales' and No. 14 on 'Top Current Album Sales,' marking 18 consecutive weeks on both charts.
Beyond Billboard, KATSEYE is making waves on global charts. 'Gabriela' reached No. 8 on Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart as of November 2nd and achieved a top 10 position on the 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart for two weeks, peaking at No. 10 on September 26th and October 3rd.
