NewJeans added “Cool With You” to the list of their songs played over 200 million times on Spotify, agency Ador said Friday.
The single reached the milestone on Wednesday, according to the platform’s data, and became NewJeans' tenth song to do so.
“Cool With You” is one of the three focus tracks from the group's second EP “Get Up” -- along with “Super Shy” and “ETA” -- that came out in July last year. All three songs entered Billboard’s Hot 100 while the album made a chart-topping debut on Billboard 200. The group is the only K-pop act besides BTS to have three songs on the Hot 100 at the same time.
