JAKARTA - Less than a year, NewJeans set the first Guinness World record. They became the first K-pop group to reach a total turn of one billion on Spotify.

This figure was achieved on March 8, so they generated the record for 219 days since debuting in 2022. This one billion figure was obtained with six songs that they released on Spotify.

A total of one billion consists of four songs in the mini album NewJeans, namely Attention, Hype Boy, Cookie, and Hurt as well as the single album OMG containing the songs Ditto and OMG. Judging by Spotify's page, OMG's song is the most listened to by 318 million.

Kemudian Ditto dengan 317 juta dan Hype Boy dengan 304 juta. Perolehan angka ini diduga akan terus bertambah mengingat lagu-lagu NewJeans masih menempati tangga musik Korea Selatan dan internasional.

All NewJeans songs are on the local music charts, even their collaborative songs with the Coca Cola brand Zero are also listened to a lot.

Apart from NewJeans, there are two K-pop solo singers who won Guinness World, namely Jungkook BTS and Lisa BLACKPINK. Both got a total billion plays on Spotify where Jungkook had not made his solo debut.

Meanwhile, NewJeans recently entered the Gold House 2023 list of 100 Asian figures who made a positive impact in the industry.

They are rumored to be releasing a new album and confirmed to appear at a number of local and international festivals such as Lollapalooza in the United States, Summersonic in Japan, and Weverse Con in South Korea.
