While Katseye locked down the summit, they were not the only high-profile artist making waves near the peak of the charts this week. Acclaimed indie-pop star Phoebe Bridgers also landed a top spot, taking the No. 2 position on the Billboard 200 with her own debut. Bridgers’ strong runner-up placement made for a competitive week near the top of the rankings, but Katseye’s towering unit count was enough to keep the top prize out of reach. With their first No. 1 officially in the history books, Katseye is entering a whole new era of pop stardom. As *Wild* continues its momentum, fans are watching closely to see how long the group can keep their crown at the peak of the charts.
