NewJeans Breaks Guinness World Record: Fastest Kpop Act to Reach 1 Billion Spotify Streams
HYBE ADOR’s NewJeans has once again solidified their status as Kpop 4th gen monster rookie by breaking Guinness World Record!
On May 8, Guinness World Record presented NewJeans their very first world record as the fastest Kpop act to reach 1 billion total Spotify streams. This award was given to NewJeans after breaking the record on March 8. It means it took NewJeans only 219 days to achieve such a meaningful world record.
Further in the report, the Guinness World Record also stated that NewJeans had reached a marvelous achievement faster than all the existing Kpop artists. Not only that, but the group has also managed to reach such a number with only 6 available songs at the time: Ditto, OMG, and the four tracks from their debut EP, NewJeans.
Defeating BTS Jungkook and BLACKPINK Lisa – How Did They Pull It Off?
With this impressive record, NewJeans has now defeated BTS Jungkook and BLACKPINK Lisa, who previously needed over 400 days to reach the same total Spotify streams. It took 411 days for BLACKPINK Lisa to reach 1 billion total Spotify streams. Then, BTS Jungkook surpassed her record on March 27 with 409 days record.
So, how did they pull it off?
According to the Guinness World Record report, it was Ditto and OMG who took on the largest number of streams on Spotify. With approximately 312.4 million streams, the two songs were by far NewJeans’ most streamed songs on the platform.
This didn’t really come unexpectedly. After all, the two songs were NewJeans’ valuable songs that have the catchiest earworm feels. As soon as the songs were out, they immediately took over the internet and social media with their easy listening and iconic choreography.
With such a simple and unique concept, NewJeans paved their own way to the Kpop music industry. They have won the hearts of listeners with their adorable Y2K old-school image, topped with catchy music and stunning visuals.
Amidst the fierce competition among the 4th generation Kpop groups, NewJeans managed to set themselves apart. Instead of going with the trend of experimental music and AI-based performance, NewJeans choose a much simpler way to defeat all their competitors.
Congratulations, NewJeans!
