Billboard updates the Billboard 200 albums chart each Tuesday (with adjusted release schedules on some holiday weeks), reflecting data from the previous week (Friday-Thursday). Each Billboard chart is then dated “Week of (date of the upcoming Saturday)”. This market will resolve according to the number 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart dated “Week of August 29, 2026”. Albums will be primarily ranked by order on the specified chart. If two or more albums are tied for any position, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the albums' listed titles. This market will resolve to the album that occupies the highest finishing position after applying this ranking. This market will resolve as soon as the relevant chart is published. If the Billboard 200 chart for the specified week is not published within 14 calendar days of the expected release date, this market will resolve to “Other”. The resolution source for this market will be the Billboard 200 chart for the specified week, published on the Billboard website (https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/) or through other official Billboard channels.KATSEYE’s “WILD” EP, released August 14 via HYBE and Geffen, has driven overwhelming trader consensus for a Billboard 200 No. 1 debut the week of August 29 because first-week projections have climbed to 145K–169K equivalent units, fueled primarily by pure album sales rather than streams. The global girl group’s prior top-10 entry with “Beautiful Chaos,” combined with recent Hot 100 and Global 200 traction from singles like “Animal” and “Pinky Up,” has accelerated fan demand and preorder momentum heading into the tracking period. Midweek updates continue to reinforce the lead with no comparable releases expected to close the gap. An upset would require an unforeseen late surge in consumption from a competing project or significant downward revision in KATSEYE’s sales data before the chart locks.
