NewJeans, the popular K-pop group, has reached a significant milestone with their hit single “Hype Boy,” which has surpassed 600 million plays on Spotify, according to their agency, Ador, on Tuesday.
“Hype Boy,” one of the standout tracks from NewJeans’ self-titled debut album, released in August 2022, is the group’s fourth track to achieve this milestone, following “OMG,” “Ditto,” and “Super Shy.” Notably, “Hype Boy” was also the first song from the five-member girl group to accumulate 100 million plays, reaching the mark in just 98 days.
The track gained considerable attention both domestically and internationally. NME magazine was the first to recognize “Hype Boy” as one of the 25 best K-pop songs of the year, describing it as “three minutes of pop perfection.” The single’s vibrant and catchy sound resonated with audiences, leading it to appear on several prestigious lists of the best songs of 2022, including those by Rolling Stone and Time magazines.
The success of “Hype Boy” extended to the Billboard charts as well, where it debuted at No. 116 on the Billboard Global 200. Remarkably, the track remained on the chart for 42 consecutive weeks, setting a record for a K-pop girl group and cementing NewJeans’ place as one of the most influential acts in the industry.
The continued success of “Hype Boy” reflects NewJeans’ ability to connect with a diverse, global audience through their infectious pop sound and energetic performance. Their rapid rise to prominence, marked by a series of impressive achievements, is a testament to the group’s talent and the strong reception of their unique musical identity.
Since their debut, NewJeans has demonstrated an exceptional ability to break new records in a highly competitive industry, and their momentum shows no signs of slowing down. With the group already having four songs surpass 600 million streams, they are solidifying their position as a major force in the global music scene.
Ador has hinted at more projects in the pipeline for NewJeans, signaling that fans can expect even more music and content in the near future. The group continues to push the boundaries of K-pop, and “Hype Boy” serves as a clear example of their international appeal and musical innovation.
The achievement is especially significant for the group, given their relatively recent debut and the stiff competition within the K-pop industry. As NewJeans continues to grow its fanbase worldwide, their ability to consistently produce hits underscores the group’s role in shaping the future of K-pop.
