Ador

NewJeans, the K-pop sensation that has taken the music world by storm, has once again made waves with their hit track "Super Shy," amassing an astounding 200 million plays on Spotify, as reported by their agency, Ador, on Thursday. This remarkable achievement marks the fifth time that the group has reached such a milestone on the renowned streaming platform, setting a new standard for rookie groups by achieving this feat in a mere 60 days.

"Super Shy" stands as one of the standout tracks from NewJeans' second EP, a collection that has garnered a staggering 500 million streams across its six tracks. This accomplishment solidifies NewJeans' status as a global music phenomenon.

However, in the dynamic world of music charts, NewJeans' journey took an interesting turn as "Super Shy" descended to the 95th position on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, dated September 9th. Despite this dip, the single continues to impress by maintaining its chart presence for an impressive eight consecutive weeks, having peaked at No. 48. Notably, all three title tracks from the EP, including "ETA" and "Cool With You," made their mark by entering the main songs chart, a rare achievement that places NewJeans in an elite club with only BTS as fellow K-pop artists to have three songs simultaneously on the chart.

Further showcasing their dominance, NewJeans' mini album achieved a remarkable No. 24 ranking on the Billboard 200, extending its stay on the main albums chart for a sixth consecutive week, following its initial debut at the top.
