South Korean girl group NewJeans is celebrating a major career milestone as they reach a new peak on the prestigious 'Billboard Hot 100' chart. According to the latest Billboard rankings released on July 25, NewJeans' hit single "Super Shy," one of the triple title tracks from their 2nd mini album 'Get Up,' has soared to the 64th position on the Hot 100. This impressive climb marks a significant jump of two spots from the previous week, and the excitement surrounding the song's success continues to build.

"Super Shy" made its debut on the Hot 100 last week at the 66th spot after its pre-release on July 7 KST. Surpassing the achievements of their previous works "OMG" (74th) and "Ditto" (82nd), NewJeans' popularity has been on an upward trajectory. With the full album 'Get Up' now released, the song is experiencing a tremendous surge in popularity, solidifying NewJeans' position as a rising force in the music industry.

In an extraordinary feat, NewJeans stands as the only KPOP teenage group to have secured a place in the TOP BILLBOARD 100 with their songs "Ditto," "OMG," and "SuperShy." The rankings are based on official digital and CD sales, showcasing the group's growing global appeal.

Best present ever

As the group approaches their first-year anniversary in the music industry, they are on the verge of an even more momentous achievement. NewJeans' latest EP, 'Get Up,' is creating a buzz that predicts the band might claim the coveted No. 1 spot on the 'Billboard 200' chart.

The 'Billboard 200' chart ranks the most-consumed albums and EPs in the U.S. on a weekly basis, and 'Get Up' is poised for an impressive debut. Forecasts from music industry publication HitsDailyDouble suggest that the EP is likely to make a grand entrance at the top of the 'Billboard 200' with approximately 130,000 equivalent units, with a significant portion being pure purchases—possibly exceeding 100,000 units.

While facing competition from the recently released Barbie soundtrack, which is projected to open in second place, the race for the No. 1 spot remains a close one.

'Get Up' has the potential to not only mark NewJeans' first No. 1 on the 'Billboard 200' but also their first top 10 achievement. This would be a remarkable feat for the group as they are yet to make an appearance on the chart.

With the lead single "Super Shy" already making waves on the Hot 100 chart, entering at No. 64 this week, it's highly likely that other tracks from the 'Get Up' EP will follow suit and find their place among the most-consumed songs in the country. NewJeans' journey to the top of the charts is gaining momentum, and fans eagerly await the group's continued success on the global stage.
