K-pop group NewJeans has made history by reaching a staggering 1 billion combined streams on Spotify, earning them a place in the UK's Guinness World Records. The group achieved this impressive milestone faster than any other K-pop artist or group, further cementing their global impact on the music industry.
Unprecedented Ascent to Stardom
NewJeans' rise to K-pop fame has been incredibly rapid. On March 8, 2023, they were officially recognized by the Guinness World Records after hitting 1 billion streams on Spotify in just 219 days.
This accomplishment outshines the previous record held by another K-pop artist, who took 409 days to reach the same goal. NewJeans managed this incredible feat with only six songs ("Attention", "Hype boy", "Cookie", "Hurt", "OMG", "Ditto").
A Tight Race for the Top
The Guinness World Records noted that NewJeans' most-streamed songs, "OMG" and "Ditto," were in close competition. The organization also highlighted the streaming success of "Zero," a collaboration with Coca-Cola released last month. With a string of hit songs, NewJeans continues to charm audiences worldwide.
Ongoing Streaming Dominance
By May 7, 2023, NewJeans had amassed a jaw-dropping 1.4 billion streams on Spotify with just seven songs. Five of their tracks each crossed the 100 million streams threshold, with "OMG," "Ditto," and "Hype boy" accumulating 300 million streams, "Attention" garnering 200 million, and "Cookie" surpassing 100 million. This success solidifies their reputation as a global K-pop powerhouse.
A Dynamic Mix of Talent and Charisma
NewJeans, a 5-member girl group under ADOR and HYBE Labels, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Comprised of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein, the group debuted with the single "Attention" on July 22, 2022, followed by their debut extended play, New Jeans, on August 1, 2022.
Their dedicated fanbase, known as Bunnies (Tokki/토끼), closely follows their activities on various social media platforms, such as Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.
Commitment to Excellence
Each NewJeans member has a unique story of determination and hard work leading up to their debut. For example, Minji joined Source Music during her second year of middle school, and Haerin was once a pansori performer known as the "voice fairy."
Hyein, the group's youngest member at 14, has already been named the youngest brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton.
