They also placed five songs, including 'Ditto' and 'Super Shy,' on the Billboard main singles chart 'Hot 100.' In March, they received the 'Group of the Year' award at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards. Their recently released new double single 'How Sweet' has been performing well on major domestic and international charts. The title track of the same name ranked 85th on Spotify's 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart and reached the top ranks on domestic music charts such as Melon.
