Market rules

"Yes" — if the EP KATSEYE "WILD" (released August 14, 2026, HYBE x Geffen) debuts in positions 1-5 of the Billboard 200 chart dated August 29, 2026 (publication approximately August 25, 2026 at billboard.com/charts/billboard-200). Position 6 and below or absence from the chart — "No". Only the debut week is considered; a later rise into the top 5 is not counted. Edge cases: if the release is postponed and the EP does not come out on August 14, 2026 — "No"; if Billboard delays publication, the first official publication of the chart with this date is taken; in case of a chart date change by Billboard, the first chart accounting for the sales week of August 14-20, 2026 is taken.
