SEOUL, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- NewJeans' hit song "Hype Boy" has surpassed 800 million streams on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform, the group's agency ADOR said Wednesday.

 

"Hype Boy" had been played 800,220,045 times on Spotify as of Sept. 29.

 

It is the third NewJeans song to surpass 800 million streams, following "OMG," "Ditto" and "Super Shy."

 

"Hype Boy" is one of the three title tracks from NewJeans' debut album "New Jeans." The song features a refreshing, sophisticated sound that combines moombahton and electropop.

 

The song became an instant hit on major South Korean music charts following its release in August 2022. It was also named one of the best songs of the 21st century in a list published by U.S. music magazine Rolling Stone last year.

 

The combined number of Spotify streams for all songs released by NewJeans has surpassed 8 billion.
