NewJeans Takes the Lead as 2023’s Best-Selling Female K-pop Artist with Impressive 4.4 Million Album Sales

This makes NewJeans the leading K-pop female artist in 2023 with a market share of 15.4%.

This achievement, achieved with three albums, surpasses the cumulative sales of senior female artists with more albums, including fourth-generation girl groups.

NewJeans reached the million-seller status (selling over 1 million copies per album) with their debut album ‘NewJeans’ released in August last year, the single ‘OMG’ in January, and the second mini-album ‘Get Up’ in July. ‘Get Up’ has sold over 1.99 million copies until last month, approaching double million-seller status.

Dominating music charts, NewJeans claimed the top three spots on major domestic charts in the first quarter of the year with songs like ‘Ditto,’ ‘OMG,’ and ‘Hype Boy.’ In the latter half, ‘Super Shy’ and ‘ETA’ made waves on both domestic and international charts, continuing the ‘NewJeans Syndrome.’ Their songs, loved equally without distinction between new and previous releases, continue to dominate the charts.

NewJeans will mark the end of 2023 with appearances on Japan TBS’s ‘Japan Record Awards’ on December 30th and the U.S. ABC broadcast ‘Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024’ on December 31st.
