New Jeans recorded the fastest time to top the chart with a debut track among all girl groups in K-Pop history
New Jeans has set a new record for all girl groups on Melon, a domestic music site.
According to the Melon Data Lab magazine released by Melon on Sep30th, New Jeans (Minji, Hani, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein) have their debut songs “Attention” and “Hype Boy” ranked first and second in Melon’s “TOP 100.” “In the history of K-pop, there have often been girl groups that topped the Melon chart with their debut songs, but New Jeans is the fastest to rank first and second in the ‘TOP 100’ with their debut songs,” the magazine confirmed. This achievement is one of the reasons why New Jeans is considered an “A-list star” right after their debut.
In particular, “Attention” ranked 9th in “TOP 100” at 0 o’clock on August 2nd, which is 6 hours after its release, winning the title of “the fastest debut song to enter the TOP 10” and reaching the top of “TOP 100” at 11 p.m. on August 9th, which is 197 hours later, setting a new record for girl group debut song.
The combined number of streaming of all the songs on their debut album “New Jeans” exceeded 2 million within a day of release and exceeded 13 million within seven days of release. Among debut albums of girl groups that debuted from 2019 to now, New Jeans is the only group that has exceeded 10 million times of total streaming within a week of their album release.
New Jeans emerged as a “trendy group” around the world upon the release of their debut album “New Jeans” on August 1st. They are gaining huge popularity both at home and abroad, charting on the U.S. Billboard chart for eight consecutive weeks with “Attention” and charting on Spotify’s “Weekly Top Song America” as the first K-pop group’s debut song to do so.
