Following their success on major charts both domestically and internationally in 2023, anticipation is high for NewJeans‘ activities in 2024.

According to the latest Billboard chart released on January 3 (local time), NewJeans’ second EP ‘Get Up’ rose three spots from the previous week, securing No. 103 on Billboard 200. ‘Get Up’ has set a record for the longest-charting period among 4th gen K-pop group albums, remaining on the chart for 23 weeks since reaching the top on August 5.

The title track of ‘Get Up,’ ‘Super Shy,’ also continues to enjoy long-term success on the Billboard charts, ranking No. 137 on ‘Global (excluding the U.S.)’ and No. 188 on ‘Global 200’ this week, maintaining a spot in the Top 25 for 25 consecutive weeks. 

NewJeans’ mega-hits ‘Ditto’ and ‘OMG’ are still receiving much love, ranking No. 128 and No. 142 respectively on ‘Global (excluding the U.S.)’ after over a year since their release.

Both internationally and in Korea, NewJeans’ presence is outstanding. Proving to be a powerhouse in both digital and physical sales, they became the K-pop female act with the highest album sales.

According to Circle Chart, NewJeans recorded over 4.39 million album sales last year, securing the No. 1 spot in cumulative sales share for 2023 among K-pop female artists with 15.4%.

This remarkable achievement was accomplished with three albums. NewJeans became a Million Seller with their debut album ‘NewJeans’ released in August 2022, the single ‘OMG’ unveiled in January 2023, and ‘Get Up’ released in July 2023.

NewJeans’ songs consistently dominated major Korean music charts throughout the first quarter of 2023 with ‘Ditto,’ ‘OMG,’ and ‘Hype Boy.’ In the second half of the year, ‘Super Shy’ and ‘ETA’ took over the charts. Their songs continue to enjoy steady chart success regardless of release timing.

The award ceremonies also recognized NewJeans. In Korea, they swept awards at the 2023 MAMA Awards, 2023 Melon Music Awards, and 2023 Asia Artist Awards. At the 2023 MAMA Awards, NewJeans won 2 out of 3 Daesangs, and at the 2023 AAA, they secured 6 awards, including the Daesang in 2 categories, making them the most awarded artist in history. 

Additionally, at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, one of the top three music awards in the US, they won Top Global K-pop Artist. 

NewJeans will attend the 38th Golden Disk Awards held at the Jakarta International Stadium in Indonesia on January 6. With their success, it is expected that NewJeans’ trophy collection will continue this year.
