After “OMG,” NewJeans’s debut album “New Jeans” also accumuated 1 million sold copies.
NewJeans released their debut album “New Jeans” in August last year with a total sale of 1,036,811 copies (based on the count of Circle charts) until the 11th. During the first week of release, the “New Jeans” album sold more than 300,000 copies.
NewJeans is the first artist to have a 1-million-sold debut album since 2011, when Circle Chart (previously Gaon chart) began accurate data collection.
As a result, NewJeans becomes the artist with two million-selling albums within six months of their debut. NewJeans achieved their first “million seller” with their single album “OMG” last month. After “OMG” was released in January, 700,000 copies were sold in the first week and 1 million copies in 3 weeks, which boasted an unprecedented popularity.
Regarding their digital chart performances, NewJeans’ songs such as “Ditto,” “OMG” and “Hybe Boy” occupied the 1st to 3rd place on the weekly charts of major domestic music sites, Melon, Genie, and Bugs. The group is also breaking into global charts, assuming a place on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 5 consecutive weeks with the highest ranking of 74th.
