According to the latest Billboard chart (dated June 8) on the 3rd (local time), NewJeans' new double single 'How Sweet,' released on May 24, and its title track 'How Sweet' ranked 7th on the 'Global (excluding US)' chart.

Billboard stated, "'How Sweet' recorded 42.8 million streams and over 5,000 downloads in one week. This marks NewJeans' fifth song to enter the 'Top 10' on the 'Global (excluding US)' chart."

The B-side track 'Bubble Gum' landed at 18th place on the same chart. The song recorded 25 million streams and over 4,000 downloads. 'Bubble Gum' was first released as a music video on April 27, and despite being released before the official digital release, it entered the 'Global (excluding US)' chart at 166th place on May 11, reflecting high interest.

The Billboard Global chart ranks the most popular songs worldwide based on streaming and digital sales data from over 200 regions globally, unlike the 'Hot 100,' which includes US local radio airplay scores. Billboard's chart is considered one of the indicators of global popularity, reflecting trends in the popular music market.

NewJeans continues to enjoy popularity on major domestic music charts as well. Both 'How Sweet' and 'Bubble Gum' consistently rank 2nd and 3rd on Melon, Bugs, Flo, and other platforms.

NewJeans will hold an offline pop-up store to celebrate the release of 'How Sweet.' The 'How Sweet Pop-up,' in collaboration with IPX (formerly Line Friends), NewJeans' official intellectual property (IP) merchandise business partner, will be held from the 5th to the 17th at Line Friends Square Sinsa.
