K-pop sensation NewJeans continues to break records, surpassing 300 million streams on Spotify with their self-titled single “NewJeans,” according to their agency Ador on Tuesday. The track, which served as the prologue to their second EP “Get Up,” has become the group’s sixth song to achieve this streaming milestone.
Released ahead of the full EP in July last year, “NewJeans” quickly gained traction, solidifying the group’s position as one of K-pop’s fastest-rising acts. It joins an elite list of the group’s other top-performing tracks, including “OMG,” “Ditto,” “Hype Boy,” “Attention,” and “Super Shy.” These six songs have been instrumental in propelling NewJeans to over 5.2 billion streams on Spotify, reflecting the group's immense global popularity in just a few years since their debut.
NewJeans’ rapid success on streaming platforms highlights their ability to resonate with a diverse, international audience. Their music, a blend of catchy pop melodies with elements of electronic and R&B influences, has captivated listeners worldwide. The group’s unique musical and visual style has set them apart from other K-pop acts, and their influence continues to expand as they amass more fans globally.
One of their recent singles, “Super Shy,” was notably recognized by American music publication Pitchfork, which included the song in its list of “The 100 Best Songs of the 2020s So Far.” The single ranked at No. 13 on the prestigious list, making it the only K-pop entry. This recognition underscores NewJeans' growing impact not only in the K-pop industry but also in the broader global music scene.
The group's achievements go beyond just streaming success. Their distinctive sound, paired with captivating visuals, has made them a cultural phenomenon in a relatively short period. The inclusion of “Super Shy” on Pitchfork’s list further validates their artistic contributions to the decade’s evolving music landscape, especially as K-pop continues to make inroads into Western markets.
Since their debut, NewJeans has consistently impressed critics and fans alike with their innovative approach to music, blending genres and pushing the boundaries of what K-pop can be. The fact that they have achieved 300 million streams with six different songs is a testament to their staying power and evolving influence.
As the group continues to grow its fanbase, their success on platforms like Spotify is only expected to increase. With billions of plays and recognition from notable publications, NewJeans is poised to further cement their legacy in both K-pop and global music history.
Looking ahead, fans eagerly anticipate what NewJeans has in store for the future, as the group shows no signs of slowing down. With their creative momentum and increasing recognition from both fans and industry insiders, NewJeans is set to continue its ascent as one of the defining K-pop acts of the decade.
