NewJeans’ ‘Supernatural’ hits #1 on Japanese charts
NewJeans has made a remarkable debut in Japan with their single 'Supernatural,' which was released on June 20. The song shot to the top of Japan’s Oricon music chart and Line Music’s top 100, and has held its position at #1 ever since. This debut signals a strong entry for NewJeans into the Japanese music scene.
In addition to their success with 'Supernatural,' NewJeans has also climbed to #3 on Japan’s Top Artists chart, making them the highest-ranked foreign artist. Other tracks by NewJeans, such as 'How Sweet,' 'Right Now,' 'OMG,' 'Ditto,' and 'Bubblegum,' are also performing well on various Japanese music charts.
Their popularity is not confined to Japan. 'Supernatural' and its counterpart 'Right Now' are also enjoying success in Korea, ranking highly on major Korean music charts like Melon, Genie, Bugs, and Vibe. Additionally, 'Supernatural' is holding strong at the top of Apple Music’s Top 100 in both Korea and Japan.
ADOR, the agency behind NewJeans, attributes the success of 'Supernatural' to the group’s unique musical identity. An official statement from ADOR highlighted that, “It is uncommon for Japanese singles to rank high on domestic music charts. This is thanks to the natural vibe that NewJeans gives off through its music that transcends languages."
NewJeans’ ability to dominate charts in multiple countries underscores their growing global influence. Their blend of catchy melodies and distinctive style is resonating with audiences far and wide, solidifying their status as a rising force in the international music scene.
