'How Sweet' by New Jeans (Minzy, Hani, Daniel, Haerin, Hyein)

It was named one of the '25 best K-pop songs of 2024' by the British NME in December 2024.

'How Sweet' is the title track of the double single 'How Sweet' released last May, and NME introduced it as "a cheerful breakup song with New Jeans' signature Y2K sensibility."

"How Sweet" was previously included in Billboard's "The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2024: Staff Picks." Billboard described "How Sweet" as, "Proving the musical appeal of New Jeans, the song radiates warmth and freedom with a light sound, and the members' voices add a richness that becomes sweeter with every listen."

In addition, 'How Sweet' was well-received and was selected for Rolling Stone's 'The 100 Best Songs of 2024' and PopMatters' 'The 15 Best K-Pop Songs of 2024'.

New Jeans' Japanese debut single 'Supernatural', released in June, is also receiving attention. 'Supernatural' was recently selected as one of the 'Best Songs of 2024' by the New York Times (NYT). 'Supernatural' is the only K-pop song on this list.

New Jeans' influence was also evident in various global annual reports.

According to the domestic trend report released by YouTube, New Jeans' 'How Sweet' ranked 7th in the most popular song category this year. This list is calculated based on domestic YouTube views of music videos, lyric videos, etc.

NewJeans ranked "How Sweet" and "Supernatural" high on the "Best K-Pop of 2024" announced by Amazon Music Japan, and showed their power by placing a total of 15 songs on Apple Music Korea's "Top 100 of 2024" including "How Sweet" (3rd), "ETA" (8th), and "Supernatural" (10th).

New Jeans, who are loved equally for both new songs and previous works, ranked 5th among the most streamed K-pop artists worldwide this year on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform. This is the highest ranking among the K-pop girl groups on the list.

(New Jeans members are as refreshing as the song~~)

I feel good that New Jeans' achievements are being recognized even in the midst of bad news.

I look forward to seeing more achievements from New Jeans~
