On this week’s Global 200, NewJeans’ new song “Ditto” ranked 36th, the highest K-pop song on the chart. This is the highest ranking that the ADOR label under HYBE group has ever recorded on Global 200.

NewJeans’ debut song “Hype Boy” ranked 131st on the same chart and had remained on the chart for 20 consecutive weeks.

Fellow HYBE girl group Le Sserafim’s “Antifragile” ranked 94th on the Global 200, up six notches from the previous week.
