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.
