NewJeans has made new history for K-Pop with their mini album Get Up and has become a global sensation. After their debut, NewJeans reached the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 in the shortest period among all K-Pop groups and simultaneously placed their triple title tracks “Super Shy,” “ETA,” and “Cool With You” on the Hot 100 chart. NewJeans became the first K-Pop girl group to have three songs simultaneously enter the main Billboard chart, with “Super Shy” reaching a peak of 48 on the Hot 100, staying on the Billboard 200 for four consecutive weeks with Get Up.
Get Up also entered the U.K. Official Albums Chart at 15 and stayed for three weeks, while “Super Shy” peaked at 52 on the U.K. Singles Top 100 and is still on the chart for the 7th week.
Their achievements in the Korean market are undeniable. They dominated the weekly charts of major domestic music streaming platforms such as Melon, Genie, and Bugs for six consecutive weeks. They showed their strong presence in the physical album market. Get Up sold 1.65 million copies in its first week, ranking 2nd in the history of K-Pop female artists’ first-week album sales. It is currently approaching 1.9 million copies sold, on the verge of becoming a double million seller.
