The fourth-generation K-pop group, NewJeans, has set a new record. They achieved the longest run on the U.S. Billboard Main Chart.
On January 4th, Billboard released its latest chart (dated January 6th). NewJeans secured the 103rd position on the Billboard 200 with their second EP 'Get Up.' This marks a three-step climb compared to the previous week.
They have now been on the chart for 23 consecutive weeks. With their EP 'Get Up,' NewJeans initially entered the chart at number one on August 5th, setting a competitive record among fourth-generation K-pop groups for the longest stay on the Billboard 200.
NewJeans also dominated the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart. The title track of 'Get Up,' 'Super Shy' ranked 137th on the 'Global' chart (excluding the U.S.) and 188th on the 'Global 200' chart this week. They have maintained their presence on both charts for 25 consecutive weeks.
The popularity of their hit songs is soaring. In addition to 'Super Shy,' 'Ditto' and 'OMG' secured positions at 128th and 142nd on the 'Global' chart (excluding the U.S.), respectively. Despite being released over a year ago, these songs continue to receive significant love.
Meanwhile, NewJeans are also gaining immense popularity in Japan. With 'Ditto,' they claimed the top spot on the annual chart of the Japanese FM radio station 'J-WAVE,' making history as the first K-pop female artist to achieve this honor.
