Kpop group Weeekly hits 100 million streams and emerged as one of the US TIME-UK NME’s Best Kpop Of 2021. Girl group Weeekly surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify for the first time as a girl group debuted in 2020. Weeekly’s title song ‘After School,’ of the third mini-album ‘We Play’ released in March, proved its global music power by surpassing more than 100 million times on the worldwide music streaming site Spotify on the morning of December 29. This is the first achievement in nine months since its release.
Weeekly achieved the title of ‘100 million Streams’ for the first time among new girl groups that debuted in 2020. It is noteworthy that just three days before the New Year, Weeekly became one of the Korean artists to achieve 100 million streams on Spotify along with the best Kpop artists such as BTS, BLACKPINK, and ITZY.
Since its release, ‘After School’ started driving backward globally based on word of mouth from domestic and foreign fandom. It topped the Spotify Viral 50 global chart for three weeks in April. Also, it surprisingly entered 21st place on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart in the first week of May. So, it gained a lot of attention from the US Forbes.
Notably, it surpassed 100 million views on YouTube music videos in September. It was included in the 2021 Best K-Pop selected by famous foreign media such as US TIME and UK NME at the end of the year.
Kpop group Weeekly won six ‘Rookie of the Year’ awards last year, followed by the 2021 Brand of the Year Awards, the 2021 The Fact Music Awards, the 2021 Asian Artist Awards, and the 29th Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards, proving its relentless rise and popularity.
