NewJeans’ debut single in Japan sold more than 1 million copies and became the group’s fifth straight million-selling album, agency Ador said Thursday.
The single “Supernatural” was rolled out on June 21 and hit the milestone following in the steps of all NewJeans' four previous albums.
The single landed atop Oricon’s daily single ranking and kept the spot for two more days. Both songs from the single album -- titular track and “Right Now” – are spending their second week on Billboard’s Global excl. the US and Global 200. They are also staying high on major music charts at home, although they were mainly geared towards their Japanese listeners.
