NewJeans amassed 200 million streams on Spotify with “OMG,” according to the music platform on Wednesday.
It is the main track from the single album of the same title and became the group’s third song to achieve the feat, after “Hype Boy” and “Ditto.”
The rookie girl group generated 1 billion streams combined on Spotify as of last week.
Both “OMG” and “Ditto” have stayed strong on Spotify charts as well, ranking No. 21 and No. 43, respectively, on its global weekly top song chart dated March 9.
Meanwhile, “Hype Boy,” from its namesake debut album, ranked No. 101 on Billboard’s Global 200, extending its stay to the 31st week in a row, a record streak for a K-pop female musician.
Y of Golden Child talked about his first solo single at a media conference held in Seoul on Wednesday.
He brought out the single “If I Were The Wind,” his first solo work since he debuted as a member of the band six years ago.
Admitting that he was nervous and honored at the same time, he expressed his hope to bond with listeners over the new song. In the ballad, he sings of how one struggles after a break-up, in a calm yet firm manner.
It is a far cry from the band’s music that incorporates powerful choreography. There was a side of him that wanted to demonstrate his caliber on stage, he said, but he decided to go for lyrics and melody that touch closer to the heart.
The single also could be a gift to his fans, his last before enlisting next week. “Hopefully, many would wait for me after listening to this solo album,” said the performer.
