NewJeans’ self-titled debut EP becomes their second million-selling album

As reported by Korean tabloid Soompi, NewJeans' debut album “New Jeans” sold 1,036,811 copies from August to February 11, as recorded by Circle Chart. The album marks the first debut album to sell over a million copies since Circle Chart officially began collecting data in 2011, per the band’s agency ADOR.

“NewJeans has become million sellers with a method that is different from the typical approach, such as by releasing a music video first without much teaser content,” the agency commented. “After garnering syndrome-like popularity, they have become artists with two million-selling albums in about half a year.”

This isn’t the only milestone the band has achieved in its career! In August 2022, NewJeans recorded the highest first-day and first-week sales among any female K-pop acts debut album in Hanteo history with over 311,000 copies sold in the week of its release.

Early this year, the group exceeded their previous record for first-week sales when their single album "OMG" sold over 480,000 copies in just one day. That same month, the album became NewJeans’ first million-selling album after recording 1,013,400 album sales in just three and a half weeks of its release.
