NewJeans Dominates South Korea's Main Weekly Charts for 5 Weeks Straight: A Sturdy Hold on Popularity
Group NewJeans has secured its dominance over South Korea's major music sites' weekly charts for the fifth consecutive week.
NewJeans, comprising members Minji, Hani, Daniel, Haerin, and Hyein, has clinched the top two spots on the weekly charts of Melon, Genie, and Bugs (covering the period from August 7 to 13) with the title songs "Super Shy" and "ETA" from their second mini-album 'Get Up'. On Melon, "Super Shy" retained the top position for five weeks in a row, with "ETA" following at number two. Conversely, "ETA" secured the top spot on Genie and Bugs, with "Super Shy" in second place.
Notably, "Super Shy" achieved an 'all-kill' on real-time and daily charts of major domestic music sites as soon as it was released on July 7. It has been on a popular run, sweeping weekly charts and July's monthly charts.
Adding to this success, another title track, "ETA," released with the album on July 21, has been on a hot streak, maintaining its popularity alongside "Super Shy." "ETA" has held the number one position on Bugs for three consecutive weeks and finally reached number one on Genie's weekly chart this week.
Tracks from the mini-album also feature across the weekly charts of the three music sites. Bugs has "New Jeans" (4th), "Cool With You" (6th), "ASAP" (18th), while Melon has "New Jeans" (10th), "Cool With You" (16th), "ASAP" (38th), "Get Up" (77th), and Genie has "New Jeans" (12th), "Cool With You" (29th), "ASAP" (62nd), all receiving love.
