Charts & Numbers

• Boom passed 100M on Spotify! 🍾 All sub-units now have a 100M song!
• I did an early look at the monthly numbers while tagging the 100M milestone - Try Again has moved into the top 10 of nCT songs and may move past Regular into 9th place if there's a lot of movement with the JOLO.
• In other moves, Favorite passed Highway to Heaven. It and LISGO are now in the top 25. Beatbox is already in the top 50 songs.
• Road to 100M 🏃‍♂️ : Kick It 99.5M , Make a Wish 96.3
• When Kick It hits 100M, 127 will be the only sub-unit with two 100M songs

Neo's Got My Fact

DYK NCT 127 held the 13th largest pop music show in Japan in the first half of 2022 with 270,000 people over five (5) shows. Of the two non-Japanese acts in the top 20, they achieved the greatest number of attendees.

I mean I'm not saying they're the biggest hit in this place, but I'm totally saying they're the biggest hit on this stage.

For full details updated every day, you can click or follow the Neo Communication Center thread. This is a pinned news/update thread in the Neo City Guild that's updated at least once daily and only has Neo news, key chart updates, and updates like IG and Weibo posts.

If you are looking for the latest on a specific member, we also update their specific member threads. You might also find pix or memes related to that member in their thread, so it's not entirely news. These aren't pinned, so I've listed direct links below.
