After a never-seen-before debut and three title tracks on their debut album, the group broke multiple records with their first comeback, OMG. Pre-release single Ditto and title track OMG took over the music streaming charts and social media thanks to their catchy chorus.
Apart from NewJeans' songs battling each other on the streaming charts, they do the same on music show broadcasts too. Ditto and OMG competed with LE SSERAFIM's ANTIFRAGILE at Inkigayo for the week of January 15, 2023.

Recent updates on NewJeans
Having debuted barely six months ago, the Ditto singers have already made incredible achievements in the K-pop industry. On January 16, the Twitter account @koreansales_twt posted that the group became the third-ever after veterans 2NE1 and BIGBANG to bag the top three spots on the MelOn Weekly Chart.
2NE1 achieved this particular feat in 2010, BIGBANG did the same in 2015 and years later, it was NewJeans who broke the same record in 2023. Not only that, they also managed to get four song charts together in the top 10 list, the same as their seniors.
The OMG singers also dominated the January 2023 girl group member brand reputation rankings announced monthly by the Korean Business Research Institute. Moreover, the girls have also bagged luxury brand ambassadorships, the latest being Danielle for Burberry.
