SEOUL – Global K-pop sensation NewJeans continues to rewrite record books as their 2023 hit single "Super Shy" officially surpassed 800 million streams on Spotify, the world’s largest audio streaming platform.
According to Spotify data released on December 21, 2025, "Super Shy"—one of the triple title tracks from the group's second EP, Get Up—recorded a cumulative 800,121,788 streams as of December 19. With this achievement, "Super Shy" joins "OMG" and "Ditto" as the group’s third song to hit the 800-million mark, further solidifying NewJeans' position as a dominant force in the global music industry.
A Global Phenomenon Born of Jersey Club Beats
Released in July 2023, "Super Shy" captivated listeners with its unique blend of Jersey Club rhythms and upbeat, bouncy synthesizers. Beyond its sonic appeal, the track sparked a massive global dance challenge. Its choreography, characterized by repetitive and energetic "waacking" movements, became a viral sensation across social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, bridging the gap between K-pop fans and the general public.
The song’s commercial performance was equally impressive. Upon its release, "Super Shy" enjoyed an extended stay on major international charts:
Billboard Hot 100 (US): Peaked at No. 48, charting for 8 consecutive weeks.
Official Singles Chart (UK): Peaked at No. 52, remaining on the chart for 9 weeks.
Spotify Charts: Entered the Top 10 on both the Global and US "Daily Top Songs" charts.
Unprecedented Streaming Power
The success of "Super Shy" is a testament to NewJeans’ consistent streaming power. To date, the quintet has produced a staggering 15 songs with over 100 million streams each. This deep discography has propelled their total cumulative streams on Spotify to over 7 billion, an extraordinary feat for a group that debuted only three years ago.
Industry analysts attribute NewJeans' sustained success to their "Easy Listening" appeal and sophisticated production, which resonates with a broad international demographic. By blending nostalgic 2000s aesthetics with modern electronic subgenres, the group has successfully carved out a unique identity in a crowded market.
Looking Ahead
As NewJeans continues to break barriers, the focus shifts to their upcoming projects and their potential to reach the 1-billion-stream milestone with their top-performing tracks. With "Super Shy" maintaining steady daily play counts even a year and a half after its release, it remains a strong contender to join the "Billions Club" in the near future.
