NewJeans' Unstoppable Popularity on Spotify
Aside from their debut album, NewJeans are bound to create more new feats with their new albums and songs unveiled in 2023.
In fact, its single album, "OMG," which was released in January is also nearing getting 1 billion streams on Spotify as well. Its lead single, "OMG" alone has recently achieved 500 million plays, and the pre-released song, "Ditto" is also chasing the record.
As of now, the total cumulative streams of all NewJeans songs reached 2.6 billion, including the 600 million streams it amassed after dropping its second-mini album, "Get Up" in July.
On the other hand, NewJeans is currently a hot topic after greeting their fans in Hanbok amid Chuseok. Despite their busy schedule, the members revealed that they would be spending their Thanksgiving holiday with their family and relatives.
After a short break, NewJeans will proceed to their October schedule, starting with the release of the Riot Games' "2023 LoL World Championship" theme song "GODS" on October 4.
The 'LoL World Championship' is the most prestigious competition in e-sports and NewJeans was given the honor to become the first K-pop group to sing the theme song of the contest alone.
Worlds 2023 will also be held in South Korea, raising anticipation of what kind of promotion NewJeans will do for esports.
Initially in 2018, they also collaborated with K-pop idols including (G)I-DLE Soyeon and Miyeon through the virtual K-pop group K/DA, wherein they released the song, "POP/STARS."
Upon its release, it became a worldwide hit, which contributed more to the fame of the group.
