NewJeans has demonstrated their international influence by setting a new record on Spotify, despite recent controversies involving a music video director lawsuit with ADOR.
According to Spotify, NewJeans’ Japanese debut single “Supernatural” had accumulated 100,682,248 streams as of November 9. Additionally, “ETA,” one of the triple title tracks from their second EP “Get Up,” surpassed 300 million streams, becoming NewJeans’ seventh song to reach this milestone.
These two tracks gained immense popularity among global fans immediately upon release. “Supernatural” topped major music charts in Japan and Korea, maintaining its long-term popularity by entering the Billboard Global Song Chart for 14 consecutive weeks. “ETA” dominated the top two positions on major domestic music charts and entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart, further proving NewJeans’ international impact. Despite being released over a year ago, it recently gained renewed popularity through social media, reaching number one on the Apple Music K-pop chart.
Currently, NewJeans has a total of 14 songs with over 100 million streams on Spotify. Notably, “OMG” has over 700 million streams, while “Ditto,” “Super Shy,” and “Hype Boy” each have over 600 million streams, and “Attention” has over 400 million streams. “New Jeans” and “ETA” each have 300 million streams, “CooKie,” “Hurt,” and “Cool With You” have 200 million streams, and “ASAP,” “Get Up,” “How Sweet,” and “Supernatural” have over 100 million streams. To date, the cumulative Spotify streams of all tracks released by NewJeans have exceeded 5.4 billion.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that ADOR, NewJeans’ agency, has filed a civil lawsuit against director Shin WooSeok, who produced music videos for several songs including “Ditto,” “OMG,” and “ETA,” for breach of contract and other reasons.
As anticipation builds for NewJeans’ future activities, their development in the global music market continues to draw attention.
