K-pop sensation NewJeans has shattered expectations by achieving a monumental 1 billion combined streams on Spotify, securing their place in UK's Guinness World Records. The group accomplished this feat in record time, faster than any other K-pop artist or group in history, further establishing their global dominance in the music industry.
Rapid Rise to Fame
NewJeans has catapulted to the forefront of the K-pop scene in an astonishingly short period. The group officially earned their place in the Guinness World Records on March 8, 2023, when they reached 1 billion streams on Spotify within just 219 days.
This impressive accomplishment far surpasses the previous record held by another K-pop artist, which took 409 days to reach the same milestone. The group achieved this massive success with only six songs ("Attention", "Hype boy", "Cookie", "Hurt", "OMG", "Ditto").
A Race Between Chart-toppers
Two of NewJeans' most-streamed songs, "OMG" and "Ditto", were described by the Guinness World Records as a neck-and-neck race.
The organization also took notice of the streaming numbers for "Zero", a collaboration with Coca-Cola released last month. With such massive hits under their belt, NewJeans continues to captivate audiences around the world.
Current Streaming Success
As of May 7, 2023, NewJeans has accumulated a staggering 1.4 billion streams on Spotify with a total of seven songs. Five of their released tracks have each crossed the 100 million streams mark, with "OMG", "Ditto", and "Hype boy" garnering 300 million streams, "Attention" reaching 200 million, and "Cookie" surpassing 100 million.

These talented young women have quickly amassed a devoted fanbase known as Bunnies (Tokki/토끼), who eagerly follow their activities on various social media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.

Hyein, the youngest member at just 14 years old, has already been announced as the newest brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, making her the youngest to ever hold the title.
