The debut album "NewJeans" of the syndrome girl group "NewJeans" has surpassed 1 million cumulative sales. He is the second million seller in his career after the single "OMG."
According to his agency Adore on the 20th, a total of 1,036,811 copies of New Jin's "NewJeans" released in August last year have been sold until the 11th based on the Circle Chart tally.
NewJeans "NewJeans" is the first time that more than 1 million artists' debut albums have been sold since 2011, when Circle Chart began accurate data aggregation.
Album sales are highly correlated with fandom size. It is rare for a rookie to sell more than 1 million albums unless it is a group that has a large number of members who have secured a specific fandom through audition programs.
"NewJeans achieved the feat of 'Million Seller' in a way differentiated from existing grammar, such as releasing music videos without much teaching content," Adore said. "It gained popularity at the syndrome level and became an artist with two 'Million Seller' records in about half a year."
NewJeans "NewJeans" set a new record for the first time of a girl group debut album, selling more than 300,000 albums in a week after its release. Since its release in early January this year, the single "OMG" has sold 700,000 copies in the first three weeks and surpassed 1 million copies in sales.
Along with the high sales volume of the album, the music record is still hot. The top three on the weekly charts of Melon, Genie, and Bugs, major music sites in Korea, are all NewJeans songs "Dito," "OMG," and "Hype Boy." The chart line-up has continued for four weeks.
As new songs and debut songs simultaneously occupied the top of the charts, NewJeans also topped the music chart rankings and the share category. In this year's Top 400 Circle Index market share survey, Newgins ranked first with a combined market share of 8.7% with a total of six songs in the top 400.
It is also doing well on major global charts. "Dito" and "OMG" charted in for five consecutive weeks on the U.S. Billboard main single chart "Hot 100." "OMG" ranked 74th on the latest chart (February 18th), the highest in Newzins itself.
"OMG" also raised its weekly ranking on Spotify's global "Weekly Top Songs" chart, the world's largest music streaming company, and ranked 14th on the latest chart (February 16). Ditto, which ranked 25th on the same chart, entered the chart for 9 consecutive weeks.
