All six songs included in NewJeans' remix album charted

The remix version of NewJeans' popular song stimulates winter emotions and is receiving positive responses on major domestic music charts.

Six songs included in NewJeans' (Minzy, Daniel, Hani, Haerin, Hyein) remix album 'NJWMX (NewJeans Winter Mix)' entered the Bugs real-time chart as of 9 am on the 20th. 'Ditto (250 Remix)' ranked 11th, as well as 'OMG (FRNK Remix)' (23rd) and 'Attention (250 Remix)' (33rd), and 'Hype Boy (250 Remix)' (47th). Above), followed by 'Cookie (FRNK Remix)' (75th) and 'Hurt (250 Remix)' (94th).

The power of New Genes, which causes all songs to chart every time they release a new album, was also replicated in the remix album. Among the 12 tracks included in 'NJWMX', all of the singing songs except the instrumental ones were on the charts. Familiar songs, including 'Ditto', 'OMG', and 'Hype Boy', which swept the 1st to 3rd place on major domestic music charts throughout the first quarter of this year (January to March), are still loved even more than a year after their release. What's interesting is that even though it's a remix version, it's also gaining popularity.

As remixed songs entered the music charts, New Genes' share of the domestic music charts became even more powerful. Among Melon's 'Top 100' (as of 9 a.m. on the 20th), 7 songs are by New Genes, and 15 and 12 songs are on the Bugs and Genie real-time charts, respectively. Last year's debut songs and this year's released songs showed chart-topping potential, once again proving the presence of New Genes, a 'music powerhouse'.

'NJWMX' is an album released on the 1st anniversary (December 19th) of the release of New Genes' representative winter song 'Ditto', and is a new song that I want to work with the Bunnies (fandom name) this winter as well. It's like a special gift filled with Jin's heart.

New Genes' remixed songs captivated listeners by maintaining the special charm of the original songs and being reborn with a 'New Genes winter' sensibility using slaybell, acoustic, and lo-fi sounds. Fans are responding enthusiastically, such as “There is something about NewJeans’ music that makes your heart flutter,” “It is just as charming as the original song,” “I feel that excitement again when I first heard ‘Ditto’,” and “This is the best Christmas gift this winter.” .

Meanwhile, NewJeans' second EP 'Get Up', released in July, ranked 138th on the latest US Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' (as of December 23), rebounding 18 places from the previous week. As a result, 'Get Up' entered this chart at No. 1 (as of August 5) and stayed there for 21 consecutive weeks, continuing the record of being the longest-running chart album by a 4th generation K-pop group.
