NewJeans achieved 900 million plays on Spotify with its 2022 hit “Ditto,” said agency Ador Friday.
It's the group’s second song to pass the milestone, after “OMG.”
“Ditto” is a B-side track from its single album “OMG,” which was released in December 2022. The dance tune landed its first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK’s Official Singles Top 100, ranking No. 82 and No. 95, respectively.
The quintet made the Hot 100 in the fastest time for a Korean artist -- six months after its debut -- and the single went on to peak at No. 82 on the chart.
NewJeans is still mired in a legal dispute, although three members -- Hani, Haein and Hyein -- chose to rejoin Ador, and Minji is in discussions with the agency.
