Charts & Numbers

• Ahead of the cb, Kick It topped 100M streams on Spotify.
  • This is the fastest NCT song to reach it.
  • 127 now has two songs over 100M - the most of any NCT unit
• Baby Don't Stop will likely hit 90M by the end of the week but the streams are very slow here and Hot Sauce (82.9M) will probably pass it before it hits 100
• I was waiting for Kick It to hit so will run the rest of the numbers tonight for updates tomorrow.
• Jaemin reached 10M followers on IG 🍾
• Road to 100M 🏃‍♂️ : Make a Wish 96.9M

Neo's Got My Fact

Contrary to belief, only a few kpop groups have more than one 100M song on Spotify. Although 229 songs have reached this milestone, 41% of those songs are just one group (BTS)! Blackpink is second at 22, Twice has 13, EXO, TXT and Itzy are tied at 6. With this latest song, NCT ties RV with 5 songs over 100 million.

Other groups/artists with more than 1 song:

- RV - 5

- Enhypen, IU, Stray Kids, K/DA - 4

- Mamamoo, aespa, Lisa, Big Bang - 3

- Psy, Ive, Everglow, V, Punch, IKON - 2 (now NCT 127)

(Thanks to Korean Sales on twt and Massive's spotify tracking thread for the data. If i've miscounted here, LMK.)

Your daily pick of NCT

a double dose today

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.
